NHL @TheRink

Dan and Shawn welcome in Turner Sports & Vegas Golden Knights analyst Shane Hnidy (16:00) to talk about the dominance displayed by the Colorado Avalanche, the crazy first game of the Battle of Alberta, life after Pete DeBoer for the Vegas Golden Knights and the high expectations surrounding the Knights already for next season. The guys start the episode discussing the Battle of Alberta, the missed opportunity for the NY Rangers in Game 1 and the most impressive players thus far in the playoffs. They wrap the episode dissecting the difficult off-season decisions surrounding the Pittsburgh Penguins and Boston Bruins. Plus, they look at another early playoff exit for the Toronto Maple Leafs and wonder if staying the course is really the best option for the franchise.
