Week one of the 2018/19 playoffs saw more dum dums than the end of an Eastender’s soap opera… How are Clare and Jolon’s heart rates as history repeats itself with Boston and Toronto going to game 7… In part two of the podcast, listen to them as-live watching the final minutes of the game! Elsewhere, we kissed goodbye to the chances of an all-Canadian Stanley Cup final as Winnipeg and Calgary crashed out in the first round with St Louis Blues, Dallas Stars, Columbus Blue Jackets AND Colorado Avalanches all defying the bookies and critics. Dallas Stars and Nashville Predators tied at game six, but the Stars went on to clinch their space in the next round tweeting ‘this is what it feels to be alive’ moments after winning in overtime. They’ve not made the playoffs in a decade, and now the Carolina Hurricanes may end up knocking out last year’s champions out in the first round…with a feisty exit for Alex Ovechkin too! Will Washington Capitals meet their former coach Barry Trotz and the New York Islanders in the second round? San Jose Sharks and Las Vegas Knights had an absolute goal fest in their first round and now (as we record this podcast) sit tied 3 a-piece. Will Las Vegas prove their inaugural season wasn’t just a fluke or will Eric Karlsson’s team get a stab at their first ever Stanley Cup? And a clean sweep left the President Trophy winners’ Tampa Bay Lightning AND Sidney Crosby’s Pittsburgh Penguins saying see ya later?! Destroying all of our NHL brackets in one clean swoop. So will CBJ go all the way? There’s mixed thoughts on our twitter poll! Hosted by Clare Freeman & Jolon Kemp Walker. Featuring Pittsburgh Penguins fan Georgie Hunt and a surprise guest on the phone at the end… Produced by ASFB Productions.

We dive into the remaining six series previews (see the previous episode for Toronto/Boston & SJ/Vegas). Can the New York Islanders score enough goals to keep up with the Pittsburgh Penguins? Are the Columbus Blue Jackets any threat to the Tampa Bay Lightning? Can the Washington Capitals win their fifth straight series and push aside the upstart Carolina Hurricanes? The Winnipeg Jets struggled in the second half, while the St. Louis Blues have been phenomenal since January 1. Which team do we see in round one? Is it the Jets, Maple Leafs or the Calgary Flames that have the best chance to end the Canadian Stanley Cup drought? Can the Colorado Avalanche end the Flames Cup run before it begins?And finally, can the Dallas Stars upset the Nashville Predators and be the surprise team in the West? We'd love to hear your predictions too! Find us on Twitter @OTHockeyTalk.
