## Resource

On this episode we turn our focus outward to the Stanley Cup playoffs, and invite Zach Staden of the Dump and Chase podcast on YouTube to power rank each of the 8 match-ups in the first round. After that, we dive into some contrast between the opening game press availability and the final game press availability, before concluding with a brief comment and reflection on Dylan Larkin's tenure as captain.
