No Joking About Expanded Playoffs

No Joking About Expanded Playoffs

In this edition of 32 Thoughts, Jeff and Elliotte open with a heated discussion about expanded playoffs in the NHL and how it would be beneficial for the league despite the turtle derby in the Eastern Conference right now. That conversation makes way for a discussion around Auston Matthews as he notched 60 goals this season. How long will it take him to chase down the Gretzky/Ovechkin goal scoring record (13:39)? They also talk about how it can effect the Leafs' decision on players like Mitch Marner (20:31). Jeff and Elliotte also talk about the Minnesota Wild losing their extra point in OT for pulling their goaltender (32:05) and discuss Jonathan Quick breaking the wins record by an American goaltender (37:00). Then, the fellas talk about the Seattle Kraken finally recalling Shane Wright from Coachella Valley (38:34).

The guys answer your questions in the Montana’s Thought Line (52:34). Following the Thought Line, Jeff and Elliotte close the pod by giving the Vancouver Canucks their flowers for being the first Canadian club to clinch a playoff spot (1:15:00).
