How to breakdown and preview the NHL's 2nd round playoffs with Dale Cory and Complete Sports Media

Complete Sports Media welcomed back Dale Cory into our podcast forum to discuss the NHL playoffs. This breakdown comes just as we have started the second round of the NHL playoffs.

The Vancouver Canucks had a crushing 5 to nothing beat down at the hands of the Las Vegas Golden Knights in game one. This was definitely not the way the Canucks faithful wanted the series to start but they were exposed for their shortcomings and played their worst game of the playoffs. This is only one game so it is definitely not time to panic but they must turn in a much better game two to give hope and confidence to themselves and their fans. The Canucks young guns Bo Horvat, Elias Petterson, Brock Boeser and Quinn Hughes all struggled mightily in game one. The Canucks MVP of the season and playoffs Jacob Markstrom also seemed to really be fighting the puck and wasn't positionally strong in the Canucks net. The entire team needs to put forth a better effort in the next game and series. Coach Travis Green needs to put a game plan in place and make a series of this one.

We spoke about all of the other series as the top eight NHL teams are still alive and fighting for the Stanley Cup. Enjoy the breakdown.

Take care

Love yah

Bye for now!
