Can the Avalanche rebound from their Game 5 collapse, will Connor McDavid reach 40 points in the playoffs, and ugly jersey numbers

Ian Mendes and Sean McIndoe talk abut the St. Louis Blues' comeback win Wednesday night versus the Avalanche, will the Avs be able to rebound from Game 5's collapse? Also, if Edmonton and the Avalanche advance to the Conference Finals, could McDavid vs. MacKinnon be among the greatest "Star vs. Star" matchups? 

Then, a discussion on choosing between McDavid or Vasilevskiy in a hypothetical Game 7, with Jesse Granger also weighing in, before discussing home ice advantage trends in "Granger Things". To wrap up, a listener brings the data on league parity, "ugly" jersey numbers, and to wrap up, a look back with "This Week in Hockey History"
