Islanders Shocker

We didn’t see this one coming. Jeff and Elliotte kick things off in New York as the Islanders fire head coach Barry Trotz after four seasons (00:01). The guys discuss what impact this move has around the league, who might Lou Lamoriello hire next season and why the sudden change. They also touch on some news out of Winnipeg (8:15), penalties in the playoffs (49:45), and what might be happening with a pair of All-Star defensemen in San Jose (12:45).

They then recap all the series — Toronto-Tampa (16:10), Edmonton-LA (24:00), Boston-Carolina (27:10), St.Louis-Minnesota (30:50), Dallas-Calgary (34:50), Colorado-Nashville (38:30), Florida-Washington (43:30) and Pittsburgh-New York (46:00).
