The NHL Playoff race is hotter than ever. Brad Burud and Blake Friars talk about some surprise teams making a push. They breakdown each division and will tell you who will get in and who will be headed to the golf course. They also have a little fun by making first round predictions if the playoffs started today. The Western Conference is frantic and the Eastern Conference seems to be pretty settled, but maybe not? Then Blake will rant about his Vancouver Canucks and their recent struggles….I talked him off the ledge! Then we talk about Mr 100 Leon Draisaitl and how the Arizona Coyotes have collapsed since acquiring superstar Taylor Hall. Is it his fault, maybe not. We wrap with some Florida Panthers talk a Trivia question and of course a fan favorite edition of 3 Questions.

We have a new team at the top.  The Boston Bruins move up one spot into the top spot.  The Vegas Golden Knights are the hottest team in the NHL.  They are winners of 8 games in a row, leaders of the Pacific Division and up 8 spots to the #6 ranking.  St. Louis jumps four spots with seven straight wins.  Nashville and Minnesota are also teams moving in the right direction.  Teams headed the wrong way are Pittsburgh.  Losers of six straight and Vancouver losers of two in a row and just four wins in their last ten games.  Last weeks #1 rank Tampa Bay Lightning fall two spots to #3 rank with a scary 1-4 record in their last four games.
