The Buffalo Sabres' first playoff game in 15 years ended in DRAMATIC fashion, erasing a 2-goal Boston Bruins lead in the third period, and we were in the building for one of the greatest playoff games in recent history. We discuss everything from that night and more of the games from the opening weekend of the Stanley Cup Playoffs, including a wild OT win for Montreal and Nick Dowd threatening Utah's Logan Cooley.

The Western Conference gets more insane by the day Apr 02, 2026

The NHL's best team (Colorado Avalanche) got embarrassed (kinda) by the NHL's worst team (Vancouver Canucks) all while dressed up as a different team (Quebec Nordiques). We discuss a massive discrepancy between the Avs' goalies and more from that game and games from around the wild Western Conference. Plus, Kieth Tkachuk was on his sons' podcast, Pete & DJ made a local sports radio appearance and (shocker) MLSE are scam artists.
