In this episode, we break down the entire Sabres vs Bruins first‑round series, including the wild baseball‑swing slash from Charlie McAvoy on Zach Benson and how Buffalo completely took over the matchup. We also dive into the comments from Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl about the Oilers’ management and what it means for Edmonton moving forward. From there, we shift into our full 2026 NHL Stanley Cup Playoffs Round 2 preview and predictions. We start with the Sabres’ upcoming matchup against either the Lightning or Canadiens, then move to the Hurricanes vs Flyers series in the East. Out West, we break down the Avalanche vs Wild showdown and finish with a deep look at the Golden Knights vs Ducks series.
