Former NHL defenceman Chris Wideman (6:57) joins Nick Kypreos and Justin Bourne to chat about the strongest blueline between the Buffalo Sabres and Montreal Canadiens, Lane Hutson's development and game as a smaller defenceman, the Colorado Avalanche's comeback win to clinch a Western Conference Final spot over the Minnesota Wild, and if the Carolina Hurricanes are the team to beat in the Stanley Cup Playoffs. After, Nick, Justin, and Sam McKee touch on the Vancouver Canucks introducing Daniel and Henrik Sedin as co-presidents and Ryan Johnson as general manager. Then, Avalanche beat writer Aarif Deen (33:48) joins the guys to discuss how the team climbed back from down 0-3 to win Game 5, concern levels for Cale Makar's arm injury, Brett Kulak's impact on the roster, and Nathan MacKinnon's clutch game-tying goal.
