Vegas Golden Knights desert soap opera is a must-watch, Tampa Bay Lightning torch the Florida Panthers, is Phil Kessel a Hall of Famer?, Multiple Choice Madness, and more

First, Ian, Hailey, and guest cohost Sean Gentille discuss the must-watch Vegas Golden Knights soap opera unfolding in the desert, with the team blowing a late two-goal lead to the San Jose Sharks over the weekend in the latest episode, eventually losing 5-4 in a shootout and putting their playoff hopes in serious jeopardy, Robin Lehner’s confusing injury status and future with the club, the “players are expendable” storyline, their yet-to-be fixed salary cap woes, and more.

Then, the group talks about the Tampa Bay Lightning downing the Florida Panthers 8-4 in a Sunday drubbing over the weekend and discuss who would be favored in a Lightning-Panthers playoff matchup, Steven Stamkos’ legacy, and the frontrunner for the Masterton trophy.

Plus, to close things out, they open up the mailbag and answer listener questions about the NHL-equivalent to MLB’s 3,000 hits, if Phil “The Thrill” Kessel should be a hockey Hall of Famer if he plays 1,000 consecutive games and scores 1,000 points, if Jack Eichel is the new Matt Duchene, and a couple of Multiple Choice Madness questions about Evgeny Kuznetsov’s shootout stick-twirl and which Eastern Conference playoff team is most likely to miss the tournament next season.
