  • Summary

  • It's the offseason! All the leagues have awarded all the championship trophies and it's time for the NHL draft, free agent signings in multiple leagues, and the announcement of this year's Hockey Hall of Fame class. There is a new development in the desert. Also, corrections! And swearing. This one is a bit sweary, so be warned.

    0:00 This week, Alex welcomes Benjamin, Trevor, and John for their shifts at the Neutral Zone Hotel.

    2:22 The Florida Panthers have won the Stanley Cup. The crew talks about the win, game 7, the series, Connor McDavid winning the playoff MVP award even though his team lost, and what it means in the future for both the Panthers and the Edmonton Oilers.

    22:56 Shortly after the Stanley Cup was awarded, news broke that because the upcoming land sale was cancelled by the Arizona State Land Department earlier in the week, former Arizona Coyotes owner Alex Meruelo was planning to tell the NHL Board of Governors that he was walking away from the right to reactivate the franchise. The crew has a short discussion about how Meruelo made a bad situaion in Arizona much worse in a short time.

    34:46 PWHL free agency has opened. Benjamin offers a quick rundown of the early signings along with his thoughts.

    43:02 The AHL Calder Cup Final is also finished. The Hershey Bears beat the Coachella Valley Firebirds in 6 games. Benjamin and Trevor briefly talk about having seen the Bears this season and the future of the Seattle Kraken.

    44:59 The Stanley Cup has been awarded, the NHL draft is days away, so it's trade season in the NHL. The crew recaps a few of the notable trades.

    1:01:47 The Hockey Hall of Fame has announced its inductees for this year. The crew discusses where the committee got it right and where it was wrong.

    1:13:49 It's time for the Eastern Conference offseason needs lightning round. Hopefully, the crew did better this episode than last episode, when they were wronger than my Rangers prediction.
