Stanley Cup Playoffs weekend recap, how is Leon Draisaitl still underrated?, revisiting which series is going to Game 7, inaugural Conn Smythe Winner of the Week, Multiple Choice Madness, and more

On this Monday edition of The Athletic Hockey Show, Ian and Julian are joined by The Athletic’s own Mark Lazerus to recap a great weekend of playoff hockey and discuss how Leon Draisaitl is somehow still underrated, who should start in goal for the Edmonton Oilers in Game 5, if people are sleeping on the Carolina Hurricanes, which series is going to Game 7 a week into the playoffs, whether a Toronto Maple Leafs first round win or loss to the Tampa Bay Lightning is the more compelling storyline, Dallas Stars-Minnesota Wild as the best series so far, the Seattle Kraken really competing with Colorado Avalanche, and more.

Plus, to close out the show, the guys hand out their first Conn Smythe Winner of the Week award and play a round of Multiple Choice Madness.
