We’re down to the NHL’s final four and for the third straight season, the Florida Panthers are still alive!
This week on The Hockey Show, hosts Roy Bellamy and David Dwork welcomed Dimitri Filipovic of the PDOcast to get into the latest happenings in and around the NHL.
That mostly included talk about the Stanley Cup Playoffs, and can you blame them?
They touched on a couple of the recently eliminated teams, like the Toronto Maple Leafs – who had a 2-0 series lead and a 3-1 lead in Game 3 before getting knocked out in seven by Florida – and the Winnipeg Jets – the Presidents’ Trophy winners who struggled mightily on the road and didn’t get the same goaltending from Connor Hellebuyck during the playoffs that they did during the regular season.
The boys (and Rose) also got into the two conference finals, with the Dallas Stars and the Edmonton Oilers out west and the Panthers facing the Carolina Hurricanes in the east.
Dallas pulled off an impressive comeback on the Oilers to take Game 1 of their rematch series while Florida continued some incredibly strong road play by taking Games 1 and 2 in Carolina by a combined score of 10-2.
Wins and fails of the week included a masterclass in being interviewed on live TV by Florida’s A.J. Greer, a Panthers fan walking around Downtown Toronto in a fresh new Florida Brad Marchand jersey before Game 7 and a horrible attempt at a sign trolling Marchand by a fan in Raleigh.
