On this edition of Wut The Puck?!, Sean Baligian and Mike Iavasile dissect Florida’s relentless forecheck that has Toronto looking lost, pile on the mounting scrutiny of Poppy’s playoff pedigree, and preview Game 5 of the Panthers–Leafs series. We also weigh Ken Holland’s new challenge in L.A. against Pat Verbeek’s Anaheim rebuild, unpack the mental game behind today’s hottest goaltenders, and deliver rapid-fire picks—from Panthers vs. Leafs to Oilers vs. Vegas—plus answer your burning fan questions. Tune in for the chatter, the takes, and everything hockey!

Sean and Mike can’t believe the NHL lottery turned into a math nightmare—should picks just go by finish? They then debate a controversial hit and suspension standards in today’s fast-paced game, before breaking down the Leafs-Panthers series and the grit that could swing it.

Sean Baligian and Mike Iavasile unpack Steve Yzerman’s testy season-ending presser—echoing the GM’s blunt verdict that Detroit lacks a true game-changer and won’t mortgage the young core just yet. The guys debate where the Wings can actually find star power, why free-agency splashes may wait, and how a brutal Atlantic Division compounds the rebuild. Then it’s a tour around a chaotic first round: Tampa wilting, Edmonton-LA on a knife-edge, and Toronto’s Core Four wearing that thousand-yard stare as Ottawa smells blood. Grab your headphones (and maybe a jalapeño-cheddar sausage) for 45 minutes of unfiltered puck talk.
