The essence of Stanley Cup theatre was on full display Friday as the Tampa Bay Lightning forced the lone seventh game in the opening round as Andrei Vasilevskiy simply refused to lose in the 1-0 OT win. Meanwhile, the Buffalo Sabres and Vegas Golden Knights both punch their tickets to the second round, taking out Boston and Utah respectively. Vic and Neil discuss the three games and also look ahead to the opening game of Round Two as Philadelphia takes on Carolina.

It took 11 and nine years respectively but the Minnesota Wild and Anaheim Ducks are finally through to the second round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs. Meanwhile a loaded Dallas Stars team maintained Bridesmaid status and the questions surrounding the two-time Western Conference champions are just beginning. Vic and Neil break down Thursday's two games and look ahead to three more elimination games Friday as the Sabres, Canadiens and Golden Knights can reserve their spots in the final eight.

The thrill ride in Philadelphia continued Wednesday with the lone goal of the night coming deep in overtime to propel the Flyers into the second round for a meeting with the Carolina Hurricanes. There was also a late night in Sin City where it took double overtime to send Vegas to within a win of advancing while the Montreal Canadiens earned the right to finish off the Lightning Friday prevailing in Tampa. Vic and Neil cover an entertaining evening and set up Thursday where higher seeds Dallas and Edmonton have to win on the road in order to survive to a seventh game.

From cellar dwellers to playoff contenders, the San Jose Sharks made one of the most dramatic improvements in the NHL in 2025-26. Led by budding superstar Macklin Celebrini, the Sharks remained in contention right to the end of the regular season. With one of the most dynamic young offenses in the NHL, the priority for GM Mike Grier and head coach Ryan Warsofsky is to clean up the other end of the rink where the team remained one of the leakiest in the league.

The Bruins and Oilers had plenty to prove after digging themselves 3-1 holes and both delivered to survive to Game 6. In Dallas, the Stars did not run Wild over Minnesota and, thus, will head back to their former home trying to save their season. Vic and Neil review the three Tuesday games and look ahead to Wednesday where a pair of deadlocked series will put teams in the drivers seat while the Flyers try for a third time to close out the Penguins.

From Presidents' Trophy to missing the playoffs. That was the story of the 2025-26 Winnipeg Jets. The season started well enough but lack of support for the top line and inconsistent play put the Jets in a position where they chased the pack during the second half and eventually ran out of runway to qualify for the post-season. Vic and Neil look back at what their expectations were back last August, provide the data that spelled doom and fast forward to what lies ahead as GM Kevin Cheveldayoff prepares for 2026-27.
