Description

In this episode, Craig Custance and Sean Gentille recap a busy night in the NHL playoffs. The Penguins, with a struggling Tristan Jarry between the pipes are on the brink of elimination, after Jarry delivered a pizza to Josh Bailey for the Islanders win. Custance and Gentille praise the work of Spencer Knight in his playoff debut for Florida and wonder what the Cats should do with Sergey Bobrovsky. Plus the guys discuss Kyle Connor's triple OT goal in Winnipeg, and Connor Helebuyck holding Connor McDavid to one goal in the Jets four game sweep over the Oilers.

Craig and Sean welcome Don Granato, the interim head coach of the Buffalo Sabres to the show, and chat about the steps he and the Sabres took after he replaced Ralph Krueger behind the bench. Don, a superior development coach talks about the veterans who helped him fit in, as the bench boss in Buffalo and working with young players like Rasmus Dhalin, Casey Mittlelstadt and Linus Ulmark. He also talks about his association with Auston Matthews who has brought his game to a new level with the Leafs.
