Colorado Avalanche are overwhelming the Tampa Bay Lightning, John Tortorella takes over as Philadelphia Flyers head coach, the Dallas Stars reportedly hire Pete DeBoer, and more

First, Hailey and guest cohosts Julian McKenzie and Sean Gentille discuss the Colorado Avalanche jumping out to a 2-0 Stanley Cup Final series lead over the Tampa Bay Lightning, including a monstrous 7-0 Game 2 win, the Avs’ defensive brilliance so far, Cale Makar as a top-5 talent, Jon Cooper getting last change with the series shifting to Tampa Bay, and much more.

Then, The Athletic’s Charlie O’Connor joins the show to talk about the Philadelphia Flyers hiring John Tortorella as head coach, the team’s bad salary cap situation, how Carter Hart could benefit from a more structured team defense under Torts, Ryan Ellis’ injury status, Johnny Gaudreau Gritty, and much more.

Plus, to close things out, the group discusses Pete DeBoer reportedly signing a 4-year deal to coach the Dallas Stars, how his questionable track record handling goaltenders could impact the development of Jake Oettinger, why the Stars are in a perpetual “win now” mode, and more.
