Ian Mendes and Sean McIndoe discuss the Tampa Bay Lightning winning back-to-back championships, Nikita Kucherov's legendary post-game press conference, and let it rip about that whole salary cap thing. Plus, Patrick Maroon wins his third championship in a row, and is it time now to name Jon Cooper the best coach in the game? Also, the offseason could be more interesting as Vladimir Tarasenko requests a trade from St. Louis, and Duncan Keith from Chicago.
Then, Ian and Sean answer listener questions including an idea about higher seeded teams being able to chose their opponent in the offseason, and as always, a look back with "This Week in Hockey History."
