(Meadowlark Media) The Stanley Cup Playoffs are off and running, and The Hockey Show is all over it! We’re one week into the best postseason in all of professional sports and there has been no shortage of great storylines, exciting moments and controversial topics to discuss. Joining hosts Roy Bellamy and David Dwork this week was friend of the show Adnan Virk from NHL on Prime. Among the topics discussed with Adnan were the Los Angeles Kings possibly, finally getting out of the first round against the Edmonton Oilers, the New York Islanders parting ways with Lou Lamoriello, the surprising starts to the playoffs by the Minnesota Wild and Dallas Stars, and the disappointing start by the New Jersey Devils. Adnan also stuck around for the weekly Florida Panthers segment, where they got into the Cats taking a surprising (to some) 2-0 series lead on the Tampa Bay Lightning after picking up a pair of victories on the road. A big topic of discussion was the hit on Panthers Captain Sasha Barkov by Tampa’s Brandon Hagel, and the reaction by some in the media following the dangerous hit.
