May 2025 - Sports Lunatics - 2025 NHL Playoffs, Handshakes, Jim Irsay, George Wendt and Rick Derringer

As the 2025 NHL Postseason heads into the Final series, Shawn and Howie look at how this year's Panthers-Oilers final series may be different from last year's. They also examine the handshake line, Paul Maurice's take on the coaches and other staff participating in it and how it has evolved from years past to what we see today. They also talk about how animosities in series can manifest themselves in the actual handshake line at the end of it all. They even discuss how some of their own handshake lines have devolved into strong words, coming just short of exchanging blows...even in pickleball! They also look at the passings of George Wendt and Rick Derringer and how both men connected with huge factions of sports fans. It was a fun and spirited conversation!
