Episode Notes

Dan and Shawn are joined by Carolina Hurricanes TV and radio analyst Tripp Tracy (19:11), to discuss the team’s 6-0 start to the Stanley Cup Playoffs and what sets this year’s Carolina team apart from recent Canes teams that came up short in their quest for the Cup. The crew opens the show with reaction to a roller coaster week in Toronto as the Leafs introduce John Chayka as general manager and Mats Sundin as senior adviser, hours before landing the No. 1 pick in the draft lottery. The guys also discuss the high-scoring start to the Minnesota-Colorado series, leading to a goalie change by the Wild, and preview the Montreal-Buffalo series, after the Canadiens edged the Tampa Bay Lightning in seven games, recording just nine shots on goal in the series clincher.
