 Dan and Shawn get together for the two-man show this week, no guests, just hockey talk, and react to all the storylines from the Second Round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs. 
They breakdown what the Hurricanes have to do to find some success in Game 3 and what the Stars have to do to avoid losing the first two games of a second straight series. They talk about the impact Jeremy Swayman has had on the Boston Bruins and why sticking with him instead of keeping a goalie rotation with Linus Ullmark is the right move. They also discuss why the Edmonton Oilers road to the Western Conference Final looks paved in gold for them, but what the Vancouver Canucks can do to make it bumpy and send them off the path. In addition, they analyze the impact of the San Jose Sharks winning the 2024 NHL Draft Lottery, Travis Green being hired as the new coach of the Ottawa Senators, Drew Bannister staying on as the coach of the St. Louis Blues and ask the most pertinent question in the hockey world: What in the world is going to happen with the Toronto Maple Leafs?
