Wild card races coming down to the wire, players working in rival's front offices, NHL Playoffs betting lines

Ian kicks off this episode with a travel pitch for Sean, then asks him how he would feel if Mats Sundin ended up working in the Senators' front office. Then, as the regular season nears its conclusion, and the wild card spots come down to the wire, should we be pulling for the Predators to make the playoffs? Next, Jesse Granger joins the show for "Granger Things", discussing the technology used in Bauer's Konekt goalie skates, NHL awards being pulled down from betting sites, and serves up some playoff lines for Ian and Sean. To wrap up, some listener emails, and a look back with "This Week in Hockey History".
