Dan and Shawn are joined by NHL.com's Brian Compton to talk about both semifinal series. Compton explains what exactly needs to happen for the Islanders to win the next two games and the adjustments he'd like to see Barry Trotz make. The Lightning have dominated the last 4 periods of play and have scored the last 10 goals in the series, so is that it for the Islanders? The guys marvel at Brayden Point and discuss why Jon Cooper doesn't get enough credit. They also look at the awesome story that is unfolding with the Montreal Canadiens and how Carey Price has a knack for getting in opposing shooters heads. They talk about Pete DeBoer's decision to start Robin Lehner in Game 4 and the amazing growth that Chandler Stephenson as shown from the 2018 Stanley Cup Final when he was the designated blogger for NHL.com to now as the top center on this Vegas team.  They wrap up the episode talking about the marriage between Gerard Gallant and the New York Rangers and the task at hand for Chris Drury to get his roster built for playoff hockey. Finally, they recognize the passing of Tom Kurvers and the impact he had on the hockey world.
