Episode Notes

How should the NHL handle the head shot by Taylor Hall of the Carolina Hurricanes on the Ottawa Senators Jake Sanderson? Should playoff discipline be consistent or different than regular season discipline handed out by the NHL Department of Player Safety?

Plus, which of the three 3-0 playoff series has been the most entertaining and which ones have been too one-sided. We also preview every series this weekend was some teams try to stave off elimination.

All this and more on today's Locked On NHL Podcast with Rachel Donner and Gil Martin.
