Playoff Time!

Welcome, Stanley! Jeff and Elliotte get you set for the Stanley Cup Playoff by previewing every first-round series starting in the East (48:00) and then moving to the West (55:20).

But before that, they get into some of the changes around the league including more details out of Pittsburgh (00:00), Peter Laviolette stepping down as the head coach of the Washington Capitals (10:00) and the Blue Jackets fire head coach Brad Larsen (16:30). They also wrap up the teams that didn’t make the playoffs and what they might do this off-season —— Anahiem (19:30), Chicago (25:40), Arizona (29:30), Philadelphia (34:00), Montreal (36:20), Detroit (40:20), San Jose (43:10), St. Louis (44:50) and Calgary (46:40).
