The Hockey News Big Show: Which NHL Team Could Pull Off A Cinderella Run?
Welcome to The Hockey News Big Show, where we explore some of the biggest NHL and hockey topics
Here’s what Katie Gaus, Ryan Kennedy and Michael Traikos discussed in this episode:
0:54: Michael revisits his top eight Stanley Cup contenders list from last week and explains his new Nos. 5 to 8 teams this week.
2:59: Ryan also goes over the changes in his list from last week.
6:14: Ryan has the Washington Capitals in his top four, while Michael has them in his bottom four. What's the argument for both of your reasoning?
10:51: Who should be the starting goalie for Game 1 of the playoffs for the Toronto Maple Leafs?
14:58: How does the addition of a healthy Evander Kane and Trent Frederic change the complexion of this Oilers team in the playoffs?
18:03: How does Miro Heiskanen potentially missing the first round affect your opinion on the Dallas Stars beating the Colorado Avalanche?
21:20: The New York Islanders are 6-3-1 in their last 10 games and are very much in the mix again for the second wild-card spot. Do we buy them as a real threat to earn that spot?
23:54: Who is your front-runner for the Calder Trophy race?
26:35: The Top 10 Hobey Baker nominees were recently released. Who are your picks for the top three finalists for the NCAA’s men’s hockey player of the year?
31:09: March Madness is officially underway. Which NHL team would be the best "Cinderella story" to shock the world and make a run, even if they don’t win the Cup?
33:05: Gary Bettman said the playoff format is not changing. Are you GLAD because you like the current format or SAD because you want the 1 vs. 8 format?
35:19: The New York Rangers released their Centennial logo for next season, and people online aren't super impressed. Yay or nay to the logo?
37:17: Josh Morrissey becomes the top scorer among defensemen in Jets 2.0 history, passing Dustin Byfuglien. Has he been a better blueliner for Winnipeg than Byfuglien?
39:23: Alex Ovechkin is now seven goals away from breaking Gretzky's 894 all-time goals record with 13 games left. Will it take him all 13 games, or will he do it with games to spare?
