Episode 0317: Toews No Longer a ’Hawk; IIHF Women; Panthers Trolling; St. Louis/Armstrong; Coaching Carousel Turns; Playoff Matchups; Prospect Game BM & PB Best Buddies and More!

As we are on the cusp of the NHL Playoffs, we delve into the format the NHL got right.  Jonathan Toews has been told by the Chicago staff that they will not be re-signing him at the end of the season.  What does that mean for the 3 time cup winner?  The IIHF Women's World Championship final is tonight (04/16).  It is a familiar matchup between the U.S. and Canada.  The Panthers appear to be trolling the B's with their "mini mic" segment on Twitter (link below).  The Blues and Doug Armstrong can't seem to get themselves right now that the season is over.  Worried about captains and Doug stating that he doesn't relate to the younger players leaves us worried for the St. Louis franchise.  We discuss the coaches that have been fired since the season ended.  We also take a deeper dive into the matchups and identify what each time needs to do to be successful in their first round.  The Top Prospect game for next year has already been scheduled and we recommend a read from the NHL website talking about the relationship between Patrice Bergeron and Brad Marchand.  Lots of content to keep us busy (and a poll question below) until puck drop so give a listen and Enjoy the Show!
