Justin Cohn and Jacob Stoller explore the upsets, storylines and exciting moments of the first few games into the ECHL playoffs.
The time has arrived for another episode of The Hockey News On The 'E' Podcast with Justin A. Cohn and Jacob Stoller. Here's what's in it:
- The Utah Grizzlies had a stunning 2-0 start on the Idaho Steelheads in the first round of the ECHL playoffs. That's with Idaho having almost all of its NHL and AHL contracted players as well. Justin and Jacob spoke about their success in Wednesday's recording ahead of that evening's 3-2 overtime win by Idaho.
- The Adirondack/Newfoundland and Allen/Kansas City matchups are playing three straight games in one location before playing the next four in the other rink. The other series follow the format seen in the NHL. What's the ideal series format for this level?
- What's the wildest format Justin has seen, and why does he hate the best-of-3 series in the AHL?
- Justin's Kelly Cup pick, the South Carolina Stingrays split games 1 and 2 against the Florida Everblades before Wednesday night's 4-3 Everblades win.
- Which team has really lived up to the hype so far? And what's the most exciting ECHL playoff series at the moment?
