The gloves are off and the stakes couldn’t be higher—this is our first-ever 2026 NHL Stanley Cup Playoff Preview, and we’re treating it like the Super Bowl of hockey talk. We’re loading up the bench with heavy hitters as we welcome back former NHL goaltender Steve Passmore and fan-favorite enforcer Doug Smith—better known to many as the real-life inspiration behind the cult classic Goon.

We dive headfirst into the first-round matchups, breaking down every series with bold predictions, hot takes, and a few disagreements you won’t see coming. Who’s built for a deep run? Who’s getting bounced early? And which underdog is about to wreck everyone’s bracket? This isn’t just a preview—it’s a full-on playoff war room. Big personalities. Big opinions. Big moments. 🎙️ It’s the 1973 Podcast like you’ve never heard it before. 🏒 Buckle up… playoff hockey starts NOW.
