The Hockey Show - Episode 657

The Hockey Show, Canada's only campus-produced radio show that strictly talks hockey, is back tonight with another busy show as the first week of the NHL Stanley Cup Playoffs is in the books, teams and leagues aren't slowing down with news, and many thing have happened. You'd think that the NHL would take a day or two off from generating headlines outside of the eight playoff series they're running, but the news came fast and furious this week as eliminated teams began clearing space for new bodies. Lots of people were sent packing which is the result of missing the playoffs, but some of these seemed either premature or completely unwarranted. In any case, our hosts will look at that tonight on The Hockey Show at 5:30pm CT!

Tonight on the show, Teebz and Jason will chat about the circus known as the New York Rangers as Peter Laviolette was fired, Chris Drury was re-signed, and JT Miller hit the links. They'll also discuss the Seattle Kraken seeing Ron Francis move up, Jason Botterill move in, and Dan Bylsma move out. They'll talk about Lou Lamoriello not having his contract renewed on Long Island, Jim Rutherford making another mess in Vancouver, another team popping up in Vancouver, the court case surrounding the 2018 World Junior team began, and Team USA released the first 18 names of players heading to the IIHF World Championship in Denmark. Oh, and there were some hockey games played too! In short, it's a ridiculously-busy show so settle in and get ready to move fast tonight on The Hockey Show at 5:30pm CT on one of 101.5 FM, Channel 718 on MTS TV, or via UMFM.com!
