Chapter 1: What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
The other thing I'll say that happened in this game I thought was really notable was McKinnon got nailed for diving, embellishment, right?
Chapter 2: What are the highlights from the Senators vs Hurricanes playoff game?
Yes. And we talk about Crosby in the Pittsburgh segment, what happened with him. And you know what that says to me when Crosby and McKinnon get called for embellishment on back-to-back nights?
What?
What's going on in Coal Harbor?
That's number one. Welcome to 32 Thoughts, the podcast presented by your Canadian Toyota dealers and the 100% electric BZ. Available now during Red Tag Day, Sramati, Friedman, Bukowskis alongside once again. So, Elliot, the Ottawa Senators seeming like they were doing...
Chapter 3: How did the Sabres manage to take the lead against the Bruins?
Everything right to rid themselves of any bad juju after a tough ending to Game 2 in Carolina. They sent one of their fans, Kyle Ivan, who's considered among the fan base, bad luck, all the way to Taiwan, the furthest away possible from the Canadian Tire Center. Tom Green was in the house. Great interview with Sean McKenzie, Ottawa product. Yeah, absolutely. Ottawa fan, it was not enough.
They are in the hole big time down 0-3 and the big concern around Jake Sanderson leaving the game with injury.
Chapter 4: What were the key moments in the Kings vs Avalanche matchup?
He took the hit from Taylor Hall that was given two minutes for a legal check to the head. You guys had wondered on the panel as well, was it blocking the shot off the hand? Did that contribute to his injury?
absence as well but as travis green said in the post game it was the hit to the head as the major driver behind all of that so ottawa in major trouble and down their most important defenseman carolina all the credit for the way they've played they've throttled the sanders bottlenecked them prevented them from doing absolutely anything i do want to say about that
injury to Sanderson. Yes, we did wonder on the air if it was more the hand than the head, simply because of the timing and the way that unfolded. But as Travis Green and you mentioned, it was the head, and Ottawa was pretty angry, I heard. They talked a little bit about it publicly, but I heard behind the scenes, too. They were pretty angry about how the Brady Kachuk play with Martinuk got...
Chapter 5: What updates are there on the NHL coaching vacancies?
called a major and reviewed, and there was nothing similar that happened with Taylor Hall and Sanderson. They were pretty mad about that, and I think they made their complaints heard both publicly and privately. Sanderson is a huge loss. Ottawa's been battling defensive injuries all playoffs. Clevin came back. Shabbat has come back earlier.
I don't know about you, Kyle, but Shabbat simply does not look right to me. And I think he's been on the ice for six goals against that Carolina scored in this series. And there were a couple times we were watching him in game number three, and you can tell that he's not comfortable doing certain things. that he's just not there.
So I'm wondering if he's got some sort of protection on there or the injury is still – because remember, he came back way earlier than expected. He talked about how he beat the odds to come back, and I will never criticize a player for that.
He is trying to do the best for his teammates and his organization, and that is to be applauded and mentioned and not mocked or ridiculed in any way, shape, or form. But I just wonder if he's not – I wonder if whatever he's dealing with in terms of injury or brace or whatever he's doing is preventing him from doing things because he just doesn't look right.
Chapter 6: What is the latest on Steve Yzerman's situation in Detroit?
He just doesn't look like himself. But now if you lose Sanderson, you're really stuck. He's your best defenseman.
Chapter 7: What changes are coming to NCAA eligibility rules?
He's one of your best players. And it's not like they're able to do a lot anyway. Yeah. The Hurricanes deserve a lot of credit. There's a reason they generally win two rounds of the playoffs. They're disciplined. They play a certain way. They buy in. They understand the way it's going to go.
Chapter 8: What were the significant takeaways from the playoff action on Wednesday?
And they have owned Ottawa this series. Kyle, the last pod, you mentioned how successful they were on the penalty kill and how they completely figured out Ottawa's power play. That hasn't changed, and it didn't change on Thursday night with a really ugly five-on-three. But the other thing is, Kyle, when Ottawa had the extra man at the end of the game trying to score the tying goal –
They were completely outmanned and outgunned. They dumped the puck in. It was like one on three or one on four. It's crazy. Carolina did whatever they wanted to defensively. Somebody texted me and they said, I refer to the 2014 semifinal game of the Olympics between Canada and the U.S., where Canada won 1-0, and I said that they could have played for three days and the U.S.
wasn't going to score, somebody who listens to the pod compared it to that game. They said that was one of the best defensive games they ever saw someone play, and they said that Carolina knew what Ottawa was going to do, and they couldn't be broken down. They just stopped them however they wanted to.
And even beyond that, I mean, yes, full credit to Carolina and, and how they've gone about things. The penalty kill. Perfect. Ottawa is over 12 in the series combined. Could Chuck say in post game, it was the power play that cost us the game. Um,
But beyond how aggressive Carolina's playing and forcing Ottawa into situations that make them uncomfortable, there just felt like there was a disconnect in large stretches. And maybe that's the frustration starting to really seep in. Sanderson's now...
not around, he's not an option, you're looking at being down a goal, you're seeing the clock tick away minutes towards being 0-3 in the series, that can all, I'm sure, factor into where the headspace was at. But for a team that got themselves back into the
The playoffs down the stretch, largely because they were one of the more connected teams going in the league in terms of being able to execute a game plan. It's just looked far opposite for too much of this series so far. But again, I think a big reason behind that is how Carolina plays. They have been so, so aggressive in every area of the ice and Ottawa just hasn't had an answer.
You know, it was interesting. Green in the postgame was asked about Kachok and Stutzla, and he called them average.
Yes. Now, he also said, he goes, this is one of those series where great players can look average because of how tight checking it is. But I know what he was saying.
