In this episode of Overtime Hockey Talk, hosts Mark Paul and Justin Baker dive deep into the NHL playoffs, sharing their analysis and predictions. We kick off by talking about the heartbreak of missing the playoffs for an eighth straight year for the Detroit Red Wings. We dissect all the Eastern Conference playoff match-ups with in-depth analysis on the Rangers vs. Capitals, Carolina vs. Islanders, Panthers vs. Lightning, and the heavily anticipated Bruins vs. Leafs.

The conversation takes a turn to the Western Conference, predicting the Jets vs. Avalanche as a highlight series. Throughout the episode, we discuss key players, team dynamics, and the importance of goaltending, concluding with their predictions for the matchups.

The Buffalo Sabres, New Jersey Devils, and Minnesota Wild have all been eliminated from the NHL playoffs. We perform funerals for their season (which is our version of a season recap 👀😂).

As more teams are eliminated from NHL playoff contention, we perform their 2023-24 regular season funeral to commiserate on the season that was. We analyze what went wrong (or in some cases for all-out rebuilding teams), what went right, and where these teams go in the off-season. We talk Arizona Coyotes, Montreal Canadiens, Seattle Kraken, Ottawa Senators, Calgary Flames, and the Pittsburgh Penguins.
