The best laid plans for the Carolina Hurricanes to even their East Final with the Florida Panthers were compromised within 77 seconds and nearly completely dashed after 20 minutes.

In Game 1 of the Western Final, the Oilers blew a 3–1 lead, taking three costly penalties that led to three Stars power play goals in a disastrous third period. Edmonton’s PK struggled and despite dominating early and looking faster, the Oilers were undone by Dallas’s depth, with Seguin and Duchene stepping up. In the East, Florida leads 1–0 after a chippy opener that saw Brad Marchand ejected after a shot from Gostisbehere sparked chaos. The Panthers look like the most complete team again, this year. Elsewhere, the Leafs have given the Islanders permission to speak with Brendan Shanahan, is the writing on the wall for the (current) Toronto exec on the expiring contract? In Winnipeg, the Jets want to keep pending UFA Ehlers, but he may test the market. And with John Tavares also approaching UFA status, questions remain about his future and whether the Leafs need to change course.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ben & Brent analyze the NHL playoffs, starting with the Oilers' commanding victory over the Golden Knights, giving Edmonton a 3-1 series lead and elevating them to Stanley Cup favorites. They discuss the standout performances of Stuart Skinner and Evander Kane. The duo also reviews the Hurricanes putting the Capitals on the brink of elimination in the East. Later, they delve into the Mavericks' shocking NBA Draft Lottery win at just a 1.8% chance, sparking conspiracy theories, and touch on Toronto dropping to ninth in the draft while two ex-Raptors gear up for the East Final.

We can continue the debate about whether this was the best OHL second round in a decade, but we can do it after we enjoy two Game 7's. That's right, half of the OHL's second round series' are going the distance and, in the case of Windsor-Kitchener, one team is trying to come back from 0-3 down. It's going to be a great day for the league and its fans. London, which still hasn't dropped a game in these playoffs, awaits the West winner while the Oshawa Generals will watch Barrie and Kingston to see where they play next (Oshawa, the 4-seed, will start the East Final on the road). Speaking of Oshawa, the Gens came into this season on a mission. After being swept out of last year's OHL Final by London, the Gens' plan was to finish what they started in 2024. Are they on a collision course with the Knights again? Jack Moore, the voice of the Oshawa Generals, joins us to break down the season and the playoffs so far. He'll also tell Farwell how he got it so wrong after Farwell picked Oshawa to lose in both the first AND second rounds this year. We've got more news from around the league, too, as there's talk of increasing the number of Imports, an Eastern Conference team gets a 15-year extension on its arena lease (but that arena needs some TLC), and OHL fans got robbed of one of the league's most dynamic players to end the playoffs (and, as a result, Brantford's season may have ended prematurely). Plus, when in Windsor, while there are many places to find a great pizza, only one place serves the best. I dare you to argue with me (ohlpodcast@rogers.com).
