We are now in the middle of the first round of the NHL's Stanley Cup playoffs, and there is plenty to discuss. With only one series complete, 14 teams remain, with many looking like they could get pushed to seven games.  On episode 34 of The Suitcase and The Scribe, Mike McKenna and Scott Burnside start in the Pacific Division. Last night, the Los Angeles Kings had a huge win in overtime, beating the Edmonton Oilers 5-4. The Oilers were in full control of this series and now are one game away from dropping out in the first round. What has happened to them?  Another team that has struggled in the first round in years past is the Toronto Maple Leafs. However, they are now one game away from knocking out the back-to-back defending Stanley Cup Champions. Mike and Scott talked about the leadership on that team and how vital game six is for the Leafs.  Some know playoff news that happened this week was that Barry Trotz is no longer with the New York Islanders. Scott Burnside sounds off on his feelings towards Lou Lamoriello and Trotz's future.  Additionally, Mike and Scott discussed the remaining series in the postseason and a quick 20-second review of the Colorado and Nashville series courtesy of Mike.  Hosted on Acast.
