Rolling with the Playoff Punches with Blake Wheeler

Nick Kypreos and Justin Bourne welcome in former NHLer Blake Wheeler (5:35) to chat about his transition into working as an analyst for the Stanley Cup Playoffs coverage, Auston Matthews' playoff scoring struggles, the potential cause for Connor Hellebuyck's poor road-game performances, and the key to cutting out the outside noise. Then, Nick, Justin and Sam McKee weigh in on the coaching changes with Rick Tocchet joining his former team in Philadelphia, while Adam Foote gets promoted in Vancouver. To wrap up, Pro Hockey Group and Sportsnet's Jason Bukala stops by (31:49) to chat about the Canucks signing Tom Willander to an entry-level contract, if the Flyers are ready for the playoffs next year, and if the Edmonton Oilers have risen back to Stanley Cup favourites.The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the hosts and guests and do not necessarily reflect the position of Rogers Sports & Media or any affiliates.
