Episode 0188: Isles Are Out, Kraken Should Hire Gallant, Seattle Pushes AHL Franchise One Year, Bettman Announces Schedule Change, 3 Top RFAs to Sign, B's Should Look at O.E.L. and More!

The Stanley Cup Final has begun which means that we will be without hockey soon but the Two Man Forecheck will be here to keep you company.  With that being said, we venture into another week with some topics to keep you talking.  We start with reasons the Isles lost the Eastern Conference Final rather than the Lightning winning it.  We also briefly touch on some of the Blue Jackets issues for the next season.  Seattle still hasn't played a game, but we talk about the franchise needing a head coach and who they should hire...Gerard Gallant.  They have also pushed the launch of their AHL affiliate out to the 2022-23 season.  Gary Bettman originally announced that the new season would start around December 1, but is now saying that it may not start until late December or early January but he still wants an 82 game schedule.  We break down three top RFAs who should be offered deals (but probably won't receive them) and we have a frank discussion around the Bruins making an offer to acquire Oliver Ekman-Larsson from Arizona.  Should the Bruins make that deal or go after Taylor Hall, assuming that you can only do one of those deals?  Lots to think about and digest so give us a listen and tell us your opinions.  Mostly...Enjoy the Show!
