NHL playoff previews, coach drama, and the Panthers' offseason outlook with Billy Lindsay.
The Stanley Cup Playoffs are upon us, and The Hockey Show is pumped!
This week, THS co-hosts Roy Bellamy and David Dwork, along with producer Ethan Budowski, previewed the eight first-round Stanley Cup Playoff series’ that will begin on Saturday.
They also discussed the fiery comments of a pair of NHL head coaches, Carolina’s Rick Bowness and Detroit’s Todd McLellan, who had some very hard comments for the way their respective teams performed during their season finale’s last week.
Joining this week’s show to discuss playoff matchups and the Florida Panthers’ season ending was Florida’s radio analyst and former player Billy Lindsay.
In addition to previewing the first-round matchups and giving his darkhorse favorites, Billy also talked about the future of the Panthers, what the team may do with their 2026 first-round pick and how the team has maintained such a strong culture despite enduring a very challenging season.
This week’s wins and fails included some interesting moves by Sharks goaltender Yaroslav Askarov, a player being dragged out of a goal crease during an OHL Playoff game, a couple of great moments from last week’s game between the Pittsburgh Penguins and Washington Capitals, and a great move by the New Jersey Devils hiring former Panthers AGM Sunny Mehta as the team’s next general manager.
