About this episode
The Edmonton Oilers and Colorado Avalanche are set to square off in the Western Conference Finals starting on Tuesday night. It's expected to be a fast-paced, high-flying series featuring some of the biggest stars in the game. Frank and Jason gave their thoughts on how this series could play out and the key matchups for either side. Can Mike Smith outperform Darcy Kuemper? Can Cale Makar keep up with Connor McDavid? Which #29 will be more dominant? They answered all of those questions and talked about some other under-the-radar players who could make big impacts on this series.
Before that, they also looked at tonight's game seven matchup between the Carolina Hurricanes and New York Rangers. The home team has won every game in this series, will that trend continue tonight at PNC Arena?
To wrap up the episode, they welcomed in Tyler Yaremchuk for a fresh edition of Buy or Sell delivered by DoorDash. Tyler asked them about the GM of the Year Award, which got Frank very fired up. From there they hit on Stanley Cup and Conn Smythe odds. Frank also outed Tyler for what he likes to do while the podcast is being recorded in the morning.
