On this episode of The Cross-Check NHL Show, Nathan McKinnon had the goal of the playoffs, only for the Colorado Avalanche to lose to the St. Louis Blues in overtime. Will this be a missed opportunity for the Avalanche as the series swings back to St. Louis? Hosts Andrew Berkshire and Mary Clarke also discuss the two other playoff series remaining, the first between the Edmonton Oilers and Calgary Flames. Connor McDavid is finally being unleashed and Jacob Markstrom hasn’t been able to match it in net. The Carolina Hurricanes and New York Rangers are also… there. Plus, the rumor mill is churning as John Tortorella has been heavily linked to the Philadelphia Flyers, but Mary isn’t so sure his Broad Street Bully style of coaching is the right move for this team.

Tune in twice a week for The Cross-Check NHL Show, where hosts Andrew Berkshire and Mary Clarke bring their distinct perspectives as NHL writers to the forefront. This isn't just a recap of last night's scores; it's a deep, analytical dive into the stories that are actually shaping the league. Every Tuesday, they take the week's most talked-about narratives-whether it's a surprising trade rumor, a team's sudden slump, or a player's breakout performance-and hold them up to the light. They cross-check popular opinion against their own sharp observations from watching the games and, crucially, against what the underlying statistics reveal. You'll hear conversations that move beyond hot takes to find the substance underneath. Then, on Thursdays, the scope widens with insightful interviews. Andrew and Mary are joined by a rotating roster of special guests, from analysts and insiders to former players, who are among the smartest minds in hockey. These discussions provide even greater context and expertise on the evolving landscape of the sport. Produced as part of the Locked On Podcast Network, this podcast is for fans who crave a more thoughtful and nuanced understanding of the NHL, where instinct meets evidence in every episode.
