Kings-Oilers Opener + Avalanche's Dominance

Hockey Hall of Famer and L.A. Kings President Luc Robitaille joins Nick Kypreos and Justin Bourne (7:01) to break down the Kings’ mindset heading into their first-round playoff match-up with the Edmonton Oilers, if this is the best version of his team, Darcy Kuemper’s Vezina-caliber performance, and how his game-day routine has evolved since moving from the ice to the front office. Later, Nick, Justin, and Sam McKee react to Jim Rutherford’s comments on Quinn Hughes’ future in Vancouver and whether mentioning the Hughes brothers playing together qualifies as 'tampering.' Finally, former NHLer and current Avalanche analyst John-Michael Liles (29:30) jumps on to shares his take on Colorado’s dominant Game 1 performance vs. the Dallas Stars, their improved center depth, the potential return of Gabriel Landeskog, and Jared Bednar’s steady hand behind the bench.The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the hosts and guests and do not necessarily reflect the position of Rogers Sports & Media or any affiliates.
