It’s Monday, so Ian and Laz are back on a brand new episode of The Athletic Hockey Show to discuss hockey pranks, bubble playoff teams flailing, the Sabres missing the playoffs for the thirteenth straight season, and whether Jeff Skinner will ever play a playoff game in his career, Ian’s feature on Josh Ho-Sang, and more.

Then, Sean “Gents” Gentille joins the show to talk about first round matchups if the playoffs started today, whether you’d rather face the Preds or Lightning, Jack Adams frontrunners, and the successful return of the stolen Jagr bobbleheads.

Plus, to close things out, Jesse Granger stops by to discuss USA Hockey’s ambitious “51 in 30” goaltending initiative and whether the US or Canada has better odds to win the Stanley Cup this season.
