This boys give an in-depth perspective of the two NHL Stanley Cup playoff series in the Discover Central Division.
The Carolina Hurricanes managed to snag first in the division, over the powerhouses in Tampa and Florida, and will have the fortune of facing off against the Nashville Predators, who made the playoffs solely off of great goaltending and the fact that the Dallas Stars were too injured to perform this season. The boys break down the series and Kurt explains why he thinks Nashville will win it.
Probably the most anticipated playoff series this year (top 2 at worst), the battle of Florida! These two teams have never faced each other in the Stanley Cup Playoffs before, and this year they are each coming in with rosters boasting high-powered offence, top tier goaltending, and lots and lots of grit! These two teams absolutely hate each other and the last 2 regular season meetings were a war. It should be interesting to see how well Nikita Kucherov and Steven Stamkos do after missing significant time (Kuch missed the entire season), and the all-Russian goaltending matchup of Andrei Vasilevskiy vs Sergei Bobrovsky makes for plenty of interesting storylines.
