Pete DeBoer set to face former team in Conference Final, Conn Smythe odds, and is Salt Lake City a viable option for the Coyotes? May 18, 2023

Show notes

Ian Mendes, back from his European travels, reunites with Sean McIndoe to discuss where he was when the Ryan Reynolds news hit last week, Salt Lake City as a possible new home for the Coyotes if they relocate, waiting to see if the Maple Leafs will make any changes, and Pete DeBoer facing his former team in the WCF, and potentially another former team in the Cup Final. The conversation is continued in "Granger Things", as Jesse Granger shares his thoughts on who would have the advantage, DeBoer over his former team, or his former players over the coach's systems, and brings the latest Conn Smythe odds. To wrap up, a dive into the mailbag and a look back with "This Week in Hockey History".

Toronto Maple Leafs attempt to delay the inevitable, Dallas and Carolina one step closer to conference final and Craig Button on Connor Bedard and the 2023 Draft May 10, 2023

Show notes

Jesse, Russo and guest co-host Joe Smith discuss how the second round has lacked competitiveness. Lopsided games, goalie pulls and a series poised to end in a sweep have dominated round two after a very intense first round.

The guys look back on Dallas responding vs Seattle in game four, and Carolina blowing the doors off the Devils, before looking ahead to the Panthers who seem destined to sweep the Leafs, and the Oilers looking to even up their series with Vegas. The guys go rapid fire on Gerard Gallant leaving the New York Rangers, Gabriel Landeskog's cartilage replacement surgery which will see him miss next year, and The Weekend joining a crowded bid for the Ottawa Senators along with rapper Snoop Dogg and actor Ryan Reynolds.

Craig Button from TSN joins the round table to provide his analysis on the playoffs so far, the evolution of coaching, the Chicago Blackhawks winning the draft lottery, Connor Bedard's ceiling, and the prospect rich draft class of 2023.

Sean and Max look back on a big game three effort by Vegas in Edmonton on Monday night, ahead of looking ahead to the other three series, Seattle vs Dallas, Carolina and New Jersey, and Florida poised to sweep Toronto out of the second round and a ticket into the conference finals and the tough news out of Denver, with Avs captain Gabriel Landeskog scheduled to miss the entire 2023/2024 season, as he will undergo cartilage transplant in his right knee on May 10.

Will Smith, the top rated US born player ahead of the NHL's 2023 draft joins Sean and Max, and talks about breaking Auston Matthews US Hockey scoring record with the US U18 team, committing to Boston College along with teammates Ryan Leonard and Gabe Perreault and the United States capturing Gold at the U18 Men's world championship in Switzerland.
