Lou Lamoriello fires Barry Trotz as New York Islanders head coach, Stanley Cup playoffs first round storylines, Josh Yohe joins the show to talk Pittsburgh Penguins, Multiple Choice Madness, and more

First, Ian and guest cohost Julian McKenzie dive into Monday morning’s breaking news that New York Islanders GM Lou Lamoriello fired head coach Barry Trotz after four seasons behind the Isles bench.

Then, the guys discuss a number of storylines from the first week of Stanley Cup playoffs action, including the high-scoring blowouts occurring seemingly every night, the Toronto Sun’s Steve Simmons asking Toronto Maple Leafs head coach Sheldon Keefe a loaded question about Justin Holl, Rod Brind’Amour’s ire over a non-goalie interference call in Game 4, Tony DeAngelo throwing his stick at Brad Marchand as he scored into an empty net, as well as thoughts on the upcoming NHL Draft Lottery set for Tuesday night.

Next, The Athletic’s own Josh Yohe joins the show to talk about the Pittsburgh Penguins taking a surprising 2-1 series lead over the initially-favored New York Rangers and discuss Sidney Crosby’s renaissance performance so far, head coach Mike Sullivan deserving more credit as one of the best coaches in the league, Tristan Jarry’s potential return to the lineup late in the series, and more.

Plus, to close things out, the guys answer a couple of Multiple Choice Madness questions about whether the NHL should automatically review every goal or not and which team would have the biggest offseason makeover if they lose in the first round.
