Pushing Through the Playoffs with The Moose, Mark Messier
4/27/202650 min
Nick Kypreos and Justin Bourne are joined by Hockey Hall of Famer, 6-time Stanley Cup champion and current ESPN analyst Mark Messier (0:39) to chat about what went wrong for the Ottawa Senators as they get swept by the Carolina Hurricanes, the increased physicality and intensity in playoff games compared to the regular season, the Ducks' keys to gaining a 3-1 advantage over the Oilers, whether Maxwell Crozier's hit on Juraj Slafkovský had a major impact on their series, and why Brandon Hagel has been invaluable for the Tampa Bay Lightning. Then, Nick, Justin and Sam McKee weigh in on the controversial Ducks' OT winning goal, the Buffalo Sabres taking a commanding series lead over the Boston Bruins, and the L.A. Kings getting swept by the Colorado Avalanche.
