This podcast covers the Lightning and Panthers vs. Red Wings game recaps, & analysis of just why Todd McLellan's squad squandered their season in devastating fashion. (00:00) - Intro & Mickey Redmond's Broken Remotes Laughing through the pain as Ken Daniels and Mickey Redmond perfectly illustrated all of our reactions to Hockeytown's meltdown.
