Guests: Sean Reynolds at 22:17 and Michael Traikos at 1:19:58. The post 12/3 Illegal Curve Hockey Show first appeared on Illegal Curve Hockey.

Toronto Sun and Postmedia NHL reporter Michael Traikos joins the show to discuss the shock of game 1 and 2 in the SStanley Cup Finals, how good the Avalanche have been so far, the impact of lack of rest for the Lightning, the physical play in these playoffs so far, Cale Makar's rise and where he sits in the finals.

In the first hour of Game Play, Matt Cauz shares what final result he would like to see in the Stanley Cup Final. Then Matt is joined by Postmedia NHL reporter Michael Traikos to discuss the shock of Games 1 and 2 in the Stanley Cup Final and how good the Avalanche have been so far.

Two games into the Stanley Cup Final and we haven't seen the real Lightning as of yet.  We start in Boston, where the head coach was fired but has since been hired by the Vegas Golden Knights.  Torts has been hired in Philly but the B's have still not named a new coach.  A couple outside the box names we have come up with include Norm Bazin and Doug Houda. Mike still wants Marco Sturm. Michael Traikos of the Toronto Sun opines that he was fired for winning too much.  Jeremy Lauzon was extended by the Preds, a solid move on their part.  Frank Seravalli has published a list of top 30 trade targets which is very inclusive, and we give a couple names that intrigue us.  Dylan Strome may be moved by the 'Hawks, but its not definite.  We recap the first two games of the final and discuss how Tampa Bay have struggled mightily.  Bill Haslam,  former Tennessee governor will buy the Nashville Predators and Sam Stern has published a poll that asks if the Ranger should trade Kakko to sign Vatrano.  A strong show to be sure, but let us know what you think and Enjoy the Show!

Michael Traikos joins Paul Chapman from San Jose at the site of the NHL All Star Game to talk about the disaster of a season the Edmonton Oilers have had and how they are going to need a “wolf” to come in and clean up the crime scene.

Other topics the podcast covers includes the surprise teams and players of the season, including looking at the half-season pro hockey writers award leaders, and gauging why the Calgary Flames have a better shot to win the Stanley Cup than the Winnipeg Jets or Toronto Maple Leafs. Lastly the podcast covers the All Star Game format, what could be done to make it more intriguing to people outside of the host market and if any business groundwork will be laid prior to what should be a busy trade deadline.

Postmedia's national hockey writer Michael Traikos joins Paul Chapman to talk about the issues around the NHL this week. Traikos explains that the big, heavy hitters around the NHL are the difference makers that everyone wants. Tom Wilson, Ryan Reaves, Dustin Byfuglien are the prototypes, and teams like the Toronto Maple Leafs want one, and may have to overpay to get one. Traikos argues NHL general managers love to copy blueprints, and the big guy who can be physical but can still play in the Top 6 is the one thing every team wants.
