NHL Final Four underdogs: talking New York Islanders with Arthur Staple, Montreal Canadiens with Arpon Basu, Dougie Hamilton’s Carolina Hurricanes future, Multiple Choice Madness, and more

The Athletic Hockey Show

First, on a jam-packed episode of The Athletic Hockey Show, Ian and Hailey discuss the Carolina Hurricanes giving Dougie Hamilton’s camp permission to speak with other teams about a possible sign-and-trade, Max Pacioretty facing his former team, the Montreal Canadiens, in the Final Four as a member of the Vegas Golden Knights, and more.


Then, The Athletic’s Arthur Staple joins the show to talk about the New York Islanders’ clinical Game 1 win over the defending Stanley Cup champion Tampa Bay Lightning, the impact of successive trade deadline acquisitions JG Pageau and Kyle Palmieri, if the Islanders are boring and/or bad for hockey, and much more.


Next, The Athletic’s Arpon Basu calls in to discuss how the last three weeks have been for the Montreal Canadiens, working their way back from a three-games-to-one series deficit against the Toronto Maple Leafs in round one to now finding themselves in the Final Four, the Canadiens embracing their role as an atypical underdog, Carey Price’s play in the playoffs, and much more.


Plus, to wrap things up, Ian and Hailey run through a series of Multiple Choice Madness questions including whether you’d rather start a franchise with a $10 million player or a $5 million coach, which Boston Bruins UFA stays or goes, and if Sabres fans should be concerned about Owen Power’s likely NCAA return next season.
