Episode 0230: SCF Recap; Tarasenko Wants Out; Etem, Stewart Now Owners; Shanny Snubbed; Johns Skates Across America; Next Boudreau Up; Vasy’s Pads and More!

We have reached the end of another NHL season and Tampa Bay have repeated as champions.  Congrats to the franchise!  We start with a recap of the Stanley Cup Final and venture into what the champions will look like next year as well as the runners up.  Is Perry back?  Will Point be traded?  Tarasenko wants out of Saint Louis and he could use a change of venue, but will the return be enough for the Blues?  Will Vladimir be the same player he was prior to three shoulder surgeries?  Tkachuk wants out of Calgary.  Is there a deal to be made there?  Also, it has been written that the Maple Leafs should get in on Tkachuk, but do they really need him?  Emerson Etem and Chris Stewart are now owners of hockey franchises, Stewart in the NA3HL and Etem in the USPHL.  This is a great sign of the diversity needed in the game of hockey and hopefully a trend that will continue to rise in the coming years.  Brendan Shanahan was snubbed by Rick Vaive when he was 14 years old and 4 years later exacted a measure of revenge by fighting him in an NHL game.  Stephen Johns is skating across America to raise awareness for people who suffer from concussions and the seriousness of post concussion symptoms.  He has retired at 29 for the same reason and still has symptoms to this day.  Ben Boudreau, son of Bruce Boudreau has won the Kelly Cup in the ECHL.  Is he ready to make the jump to the NHL?  Mattias Kivlenieks has passed away at the age of 24.  We extend our deepest condolences, thoughts and prayers to his family, friends and teammates at this difficult time.  We also touch on rumors brought up on Twitter about the size of the pads on Andrei Vasilevskiy during the playoffs.  So much to discuss and comment on so let us know what you think and Enjoy the Show!
