Tampa Bay Lightning even up series with New York Rangers, Boston Bruins might be unrecognizable next year and who's better, Makar or MacKinnon?

Rob Pizzo from CBC Sports and Sara Civian and Jesse Granger from the Athletic discuss the Colorado Avalanche long layoff after sweeping the Edmonton Oilers. We debate who is better, Cale Makar or Nathan MacKinnon and can the Oilers improve on the surprise final four finish from this season with 40 year old Mike Smith in net?

The roundtable welcomes Mike Russo from the Athletic who is covering the Eastern final between Tampa Bay and New York which saw the Bolts even up their series with the blue shirts at two games a piece.

Plus we discuss what the Bruins may look like next season after the team relieved Bruce Cassidy of his coaching duties, Marie-Philip Poulin's new job with the Montreal Canadiens and Chris Driedger's injury at the World Hockey Championships which will see him miss the majority of next season for the Seattle Kraken.
