In this week’s episode of Upon Further Review, we break down the first half of some key Round 1 matchups (0:21), and then dive deep into the analysis with Sportsnet’s Nick Alberga (18:50). Next, we discuss the NHL’s playoff structure, including whether a “Play-In” tournament should be added (34:41) and if the NHL should revert back to the old conference-style structure (40:29). Building off our Round 1 predictions from last week’s episode, we each pick who we think will end up making it to the Stanley Cup Finals (46:13). We end off this episode by discussing Mark Scheifele’s comments after the Jets’ last game and whether this was his last season in Winnipeg (53:07); we also include Patrick Kane and Jonathan Toews in this discussion (1:04:05).
