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. Subscribe to The Athletic Hockey Show on YouTube: http://youtube.com/@theathletichockeyshowGet a 1-year subscription to The Athletic for just $1 a month when you visit http://theathletic.com/hockeyshowRight now, Nuts.com is offering new customers a free gift with purchase and free shipping on orders of $29 or more at http://Nuts.com/hockey23 Hosted on Acast.
