Around the NHL with Elliotte Friedman: Sunny Days in New Jersey + Allvin Out in Vancouver

Matt Marchese and Mike Futa open Friday's show setting up the playoff matchups that were locked into place last night. Elliotte Friedman, Sportsnet NHL insider and host of 32 Thoughts, checks Matty's homework of countries around the globe, before getting into the latest news in the hockey world. He breaks down Patrik Allvin's dismissal in Vancouver, Sunny Mehta's hiring in New Jersey, and Mats Sundin's interview in Toronto. Later, the boys chat about how different the playoffs would look with alternate format, Macklin Celebrini passing Joe Thornton's Sharks single-season scoring record, the teams facing the most pressure in the first round, and the Maple Leafs' GM search.
