Penguins eliminated & two Game 6 previews!

In this Thursday edition of Locked On NHL, Nick Zararis (Locked On Oilers) and Hunter Hodies (Locked On Penguins) break down a catastrophic night in Pittsburgh and look ahead to two pivotal Game 6s. Hunter explains why the depth scoring from Anthony Mantha and others completely dried up when it mattered most. With several UFAs like Mantha and Stuart Skinner likely out, what does "rebuilding on the fly" actually look like this summer? Hunter and Nick also discuss how Rick Tocchet’s 1-1-3 system neutralized the Penguins and why it might be a recipe for disaster against the Hurricanes. After that, they discuss why the Stars haven't scored a 5-on-5 goal in 187 minutes. Can their power play keep them alive against the Minnesota Wild? Finally, they get into why Connor McDavid is clearly not 100%, and the Oilers' penalty kill is at a dismal 50%. Is an upset by the Ducks inevitable?  04:01 Early playoff series struggles  08:13 Flyers' unexpected series win  15:17 Big Stars need more support  16:10 Concerns about team strengths   23:34 Player's health and team depth  27:50 Oilers' strategy against LaCombe and Trouba  28:26 Oilers vs. Anaheim matchup analysis    Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
