First-Round Goalie Evaluations

Nick Kypreos, Justin Bourne and Sam McKee start with a review of what has been a lopsided first round for the favourites before they are joined by Rangers analyst Steve Valiquette (3:21) to break down New York's sweep over Washington. Then, he discusses the significance of 'bad goals' in the playoffs, the Islanders' goalie dilemma, how to explain Hellebuyck's struggles, the Canucks' outlook without Demko (or DeSmith) and more goalie situations around the first round. Finally, they regroup with Sam for news & notes - Stamkos' future in Tampa, what the summer's coaching carousel might look like and the two goalie interference calls in the Bolts/Cats' series-deciding game.
