On the NHL Stanley Cup Playoff podcast with Len Shapiro:

#1 It was a battle for the ages. It took six games and lots of anxious moments in a series which at one point up to Game 4 that was hard to predict an outcome. The Vegas Golden Knights, however, took Game 5 in Las Vegas past the San Jose Sharks and came back to San Jose with a 3-2 lead and clinched to advance to the Western Conference Finals on Sunday night with a convincing 3-0 shutout at SAP Center in Game 6.

#2 The Winnipeg Jets take a 3-2 series lead as they defeated the Nashville Predators 6-2 Saturday. This is a series where its been a win every other game for each team and don’t be surprised if this one goes seven.

#3 The Washington Capitals took a 3-2 series lead past the Nashville Predators with a three-goal 6-3 win and know after not being allowed to take a shot all game long for both the Pens’ Sid Crosby and the Caps’ Alex Ovechkin as both players were going all out in game five.

#4 The Tampa Bay Lightning clinched to advance to the Eastern Conference Finals with a win over the Boston Bruins to take a 4-1 series victory.
