In this episode of the podcast Area exita collaboration between The Press and the 98.5 is a lot about the playoffs. Starting with the series that saw the Tampa Bay Lightning sweep the Florida Panthers.
Posted at 6:00 p.m.
Will we see a dynasty like the Islanders of the 1980s at the Lightning? And how to explain the crushing of the Panthers?
Mikaël Lalancette: “Vasilevskiy is intimidating on his own. He has just beaten the Panthers and the Leafs, who had scored 337 and 311 goals this season. He looks too strong for everyone. »
Also on the menu: the outrageous racist remarks suffered by Nazem Kadri, of the Colorado Avalanche. For Guillaume Lefrançois, “the Blues should have published a press release to dissociate themselves from the racist remarks of the fans against Kadri. The silence of the Blues disappoints me. » What can the NHL do? Moreover, on the hockey side, is Kadri a candidate of choice on the autonomy market?
At the Rocket, everything is going like clockwork thanks to the course of goaltender Cayden Primeau. When we wonder which player can help the Canadian, should he come back into the conversation?
Finally, rumors are circulating that Gary Bettman’s contract will be renewed. Good news or not?
Host Jérémie Rainville receives Jeremy Filosa, from 98.5, Guillaume Lefrançois, from The Press, and Mikaël Lalancette, from Sun.

What disappoints me is that it’s pretty clear that for some players, and probably some teams, if we have an opportunity to bring out a good player on the other side, we do it.
Jeremy Filosa
There, defensively, it’s complete performances, it’s real games series he has played in the last games. When he plays like that, there is no one who can stop Connor McDavid.
