Chicago Blackhawks abuse allegations, Tampa Bay Lightning vs. Montreal Canadiens Stanley Cup Final preview with Dom Lusczyszyn, Multiple Choice Madness, and more

First, Ian and Hailey discuss the Chicago Blackhawks organization’s potential mishandling of the sexual assault allegations brought by a former player against former video coach Brad Aldrich, how Gary Bettman and the NHL will address the ongoing situation, the latest updates, and more.

Then, they break down the Stanley Cup Final matchup between the Tampa Lightning and Montreal Canadiens including whether it’s possible for the Habs to be a lovable underdog or not, the emotional appeal of rooting for Luke Richardson and his family, if Jon Cooper and the Lightning should sit Nikita Kucherov early in the series so he can be healthy as time goes on, and more.

Next, The Athletic’s Dom Lusczyszyn joins the show to address loyalty concerns amidst the budding rivalry between the Monday and Tuesday episodes of The Athletic Hockey Show, how the Canadiens have been able to punch above their weight to reach the Final, if the series will be referendum on the best goalie in the world right now, who wins, and more.

Plus, to close things out, Ian and Hailey run through a series of Multiple Choice Madness questions, including who should be the Conn Smythe winner if the vote happened right now.
