The Best and Worst of the 2021-2022 NHL Season

The Colorado Avalanche won the Stanley Cup last night with a 2-1 victory over the Tampa Bay Lightning, and Nick and Ann talk about the interesting (and surprisingly unique) path the Avs took to become the NHL champs. What can the Predators learn from Colorado's success? Now that the season is officially over, Nick and Ann take a look back at the highs and lows of the 2021-2022 season. We break down the top stories from the year including the NHL's handling of one of the most troubling stories in the league's history, the coaching changes over the last nine months, and the drama between one of the NHL's struggling franchises and the city that hosted them. It wasn't all bad news this season though. Nick and Ann also discuss the biggest positives in the NHL including a look at one specific member of the Avs front office, the rise of the youngsters, and the addition of the Seattle Kraken. Finally we take a look at our top positive takeaways from a very up and down season for the Nashville Predators. BetOnline Today's Episode is brought to you by BetOnline.
