He mentions the Toronto Maple Leafs and the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/hockey\/2021\/04\/11\/report-toronto-maple-leafs-acquire-nick-foligno-from-columbus\/\" target=\"_self\">trade that brought Nick Foligno<\/a> to the team. The boys discuss the move and all agree this is a good move for them as they add another depth forward. In addition, Jim talks about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/a\/anderfr01.html?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Frederik Andersen<\/a> going on LTIR and how they are in the market for a goalie. They also touch on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/n\/nashri02.html?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Riley Nash<\/a> trade as well.<\/p>\n<h3>Tampa Bay Lightning<\/h3>\n<p>Jim transitions the show over to the defending Stanley Cup Champion Tampa Bay Lightning. The boys break down the weird trade that saw <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/hockey\/2021\/04\/10\/columbus-blue-jackets-trade-david-savard\/\" target=\"_self\">David Savard traded<\/a> to the Lightning from the Columbus Blue Jackets via the Detroit Red Wings. They all agree the champs are going for it again this season. Tampa Bay is the best team in the division and only getting better especially with the return of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/k\/kucheni01.html?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Nikita Kucherov<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>Colorado Avalanche<\/h3>\n<p>The show then looks at the trade that saw <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/hockey\/2021\/04\/10\/san-jose-sharks-trade-devan-dubnyk\/\" target=\"_self\">Devan Dubnyk traded<\/a> to the Colorado Avalanche. Coach Jay likes the move for the Avalanche. They have a quality backup for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/g\/grubaph01.html?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Philipp Grubauer<\/a>. The boys mention the Avalanche do not want to go through what they went through last season having to rely on their third-string goalie to win an important playoff game. They all agree just like the Lightning are in it to win it this year.<\/p>\n<div>In addition to the topics above the boys discuss other topics include the New York Islanders trade for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/p\/palmiky01.html?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Kyle Palmieri<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/z\/zajactr01.html?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Travis Zajac<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/search\/search.fcgi?pid=hallta02,hallta01&amp;search=Taylor+Hall&amp;utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Taylor Hall<\/a>, and so much more!!<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Enjoy!<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Find Old episodes\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/anchor.fm\/last-word-on-hockey\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Right Here<\/a><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Main Photo:<\/div>\n<div><a id=\"lIRrTx8QSeBt8lxShFxQxQ\" class=\"gie-single\" style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.ca\/detail\/1310356714\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'lIRrTx8QSeBt8lxShFxQxQ',sig:'iCkp96XuCoORBTrdBUN56J0ufucEyHpLduKCt0s-Hg0=',w:'594px',h:'402px',items:'1310356714',caption: true ,tld:'ca',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-31\">\n<div id=\"snack_ldb\" class=\"mobile-unit\">\n<div id=\"div-gpt-ad-1599140178187-0\" data-google-query-id=\"CN-2zL74-e8CFc-ghwod8RULfA\">\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Another week in the NHL means The Last Word on Hockey Show is back on the MAD Radio Network\u00a0and North East Streaming Sports.
