In the 56th episode of Around The Waves on KCOU 88.1 FM, Luca Vitale, Ben Schmidt, and Ryan Waelterman begin the day with the NHL Stanley Cup Playoffs. Ryan and Luca recap the St. Louis Blues and Minnesota Wild series and its storyline. Furthermore, they discuss if the Toronto Maple Leafs can eliminate the Tampa Bay Lightning in a must-win Game 7. Toronto hasn't won a playoff series since 2004. Also, Ryan and Luca debate if the New York Rangers can steal Game 6 against the Pittsburgh Penguins as Penguins star Sidney Crosby is ruled out with an upper-body injury sustained in Game 5. Next, Ryan and Luca debate which player has impressed the most throughout the NHL Stanley Cup Playoffs thus far. Around The Waves transitions to Mizzou Softball where the crew discusses if the Tigers can advance to the SEC Championship following their victories against Auburn and Alabama. The crew then transitions to the NBA with "Ben's Basketball Brief" where Ben discusses the storyline of the Boston Celtics and the Milwaukee Bucks series. Lastly, the crew then transitions to the MLB where they discuss if the Los Angeles Angels are a legitimate threat in the American League.
