Which NHL wild card contender inspires the most confidence?
About this episode
Max and Laz take a look at the ten teams competing for the final two Eastern Conference playoff spots and decide how confident they are in each one making the playoffs on a 1-10 scale. First, The Athletic’s NHL insider Chris Johnston joins the show to talk about the latest on the Canucks and a potential JT Miller trade with the Big Apple emerging as a possible destination. Plus, the guys discuss the Connor McDavid-Conor Garland fracas and a likely suspension for No. 97.
