The Battle of Alberta starts with a bang and other observations from Round 2 of NHL Playoffs, potential coaches for the Golden Knights

Ian and Sean discuss Game 1 of the Battle of Alberta on Wednesday night that was completely unhinged with fifteen goals scored. Is that game indicative of what we will get the rest of the series, or a one-off? Also, if the Rangers already in trouble in their series against the Hurricanes, and if the Blues have any chance against the Avalanche.

Then in "Granger Things", Jesse Granger is back to discuss the Golden Knights' firing of coach Pete DeBoer and the potential candidates to replace him, and looks at some early scoring trends for Round 2. Then, Ian and Sean discuss the Panthers- Lightning series, and wrap up with a dive into the listener mailbag and "This Week in Hockey History".
