Live From The Five Hole

Now that this hell toilet of a season is behind us, the entire crew – Rose, Hess, Pullega, Slak, Feather, Sam, and some dickhead – all take stock of what was, what is, and what should never be, and of course we wait til the very end for everyone to give their favorite Patrick Sharp moment. That’s called a “tease” in the radio business. This one’s a behemoth, but it’s worth the listen, and of course it’s free to all with the audio after the jump.

After a serious push and some back and forth from the Bruins in the Flortheast division, ultimately the division and the top record in the east were held by the favored, well-rounded, and supple Tampa Bay Lightning, doing what they were supposed to do during the regular season. Their opponent, however, is somewhat unexpected in the New Jersey Devils, who managed to fall ass backwards into a playoff spot after a hot streak that saw them leading the Metro division even around Christmas time even in the middle of a supposed rebuild.

At the beginning of the season, most observers would have marked this game as being between one team who is scrapping to maintain a wildcard spot and another who is getting a look at some kids in a season that has been in the shitter since the end of January due to shoddy goaltending, and they would still be correct. Cue Twlight Zone music (or is Black Mirror the more appropriate reference?) .

After splitting a home-and-home with a decent if injury-depleted Bruins team, the Hawks take another step towards ending this miserable ass season tonight in Winnipeg, where they’ll face a Jets team that might have finally gotten its shit together, but probably hasn’t.
