If you've been online at all in the last week, you've seen coaches and others online breaking down Mackinnon's high short side tying goal against Wallstedt in the dying minutes of Game 5 against the Avalanche. We summarize what people have been saying online, evaluate why he chose to play that situation a particular way, and give our opinions on how he could have played it differently. Then, we go into some recent comments about NHL goaltender workload. Can goalies still play 65 games in today's day and age of the NHL? We debate whether they can or can't. Thank you so much for listening. If you would like to know more about us, visit our website at https://www.modern-athletix.com/goaltending

From high-speed highways to the halls of justice, Episode 263 of Beer, Blues, and BS is a cross-country journey through the strange and the sublime. While J.S. Gunslinger battles a 70-mile stretch to Sioux Falls fueled by melon-flavored Monster, the rest of the crew dives into a massive legal victory for home distillers and the landmark antitrust verdict against the Live Nation/Ticketmaster monopoly. The "What's on Tap" segment delivers a wild spectrum of ratings, featuring everything from a "sugary and delicious" Cayman Jack Margarita to a Pink Guava Cider that sadly fell flat. We also tackle the ultimate music festival "scam": a California country fest headlined by... Ludacris and Bush? Plus, we've got a deep dive into NHL Playoff pranks, Broadway ticket-buying hacks from Doc, and a hilarious trip through the Montana Police Blotter—where silly string attacks and 8:30 AM drug deals are just another day in the Flathead Valley.

So what's next?Neil and Vic evaluate the off-season moves by GM Bill Guerin — including the retirement of Marc-André Fleury, key signings like Vladimir Tarasenko and Nico Sturm, and what it means that Guerin didn't make bigger changes despite finally having cap flexibility after the Parise/Suter buyouts.They dive into the team's core — Kirill Kaprizov, Matt Boldy, Joel Eriksson Ek, and Jared Spurgeon — and whether that group is strong enough to push past the Wild Card bubble.
