Mentioned in this story
The Hockey Show returned this week with plenty to discuss as the Stanley Cup Playoffs are off and running.
Several of the opening round series’ have already been decided, and while some are threatening to go seven games, others ended much sooner than many anticipated.
Joining THS hosts Roy Bellamy and David Dwork this week is NHL Network’s Adnan Virk.
Among the topics discussed were Adnan’s Philadelphia Flyers advancing to face the Carolina Hurricanes after knocking out the Pittsburgh Penguins in six games, the Edmonton Oilers' quest for a third straight Stanley Cup Final trip coming to an abrupt ending after being knocked out of the first round by the Anaheim Ducks, and the future of the Dallas Stars, who were knocked out in round one by the Minnesota Wild after three straight appearances in the Western Conference Finals.
Carolina reached round two after sweeping the Ottawa Senators, and the quick exit by Ottawa led to speculation about the future of team captain Brady Tkacuk in Ottawa.
Roy and Dave had some insight into the story, including some intel they had yet to report before the show.
This week’s wins and fails included Sabres fans stepping up when the microphone cut out during O Canada, a stick-throwing celebration in Philly, an early exit in Edmonton, a baseball team getting booed and a not-so-controversial sucker punch.
The Philadelphia Flyers advanced after defeating the Pittsburgh Penguins, while the Anaheim Ducks eliminated the Edmonton Oilers.
The Dallas Stars were knocked out in the first round by the Minnesota Wild after three consecutive appearances in the Western Conference Finals.
Adnan Virk is a host from NHL Network who joined The Hockey Show to discuss playoff outcomes and team performances.
