## Resource

Any thoughts the Carolina Hurricanes might have a bit of rust after a week since finishing off Ottawa, were quickly dispelled in gaining a quick upper hand over Philadelphia to kick off round two. Vic and Neil review that game and preview two games on opposite sides of the playoff schedule as the Canadiens and Lightning conclude their epic opening round series in Tampa while the Wild and Avalanche open their second round series in Denver. Finally, the urgency level is officially approaching DEFCON 1 in Edmonton and Charlie McAvoy may be on the sidelines to start 2026-27 after his antics at the end of the Bruins season ending loss to Buffalo Friday.
