Positive thoughts for eliminated teams, locked in playoff matchups, ballots for NHL player awards

Ian Mendes and Sean McIndoe kick off this week discussing Sean's piece sharing positive thoughts for the teams eliminated from the postseason. Which teams were to hardest to come up with nice things to say? Also, the guys discuss a few playoff matchups that were already locked in, and the potential for a Penguins- Panthers contest in round one. As the season wraps up, so does voting for the major awards, and the guys discuss their perfect ballots for some of the categories. Then, a dip into the mailbag to answer listener questions, and "This Week in Hockey History" tries to motivate Sean to finish his piece for Friday.
