It's #NHL Draft Lottery season and the Vancouver #Canucks held onto their 15th overall pick in the 2022 draft. Point Shot Hockey is back for episode 41 and Bill Huan and Joshua Griffith are back to break down what happened with the lottery balls. This is not a joke, the New Jersey Devils once again will draft in the very top after moving up to the 2nd overall pick. The other big winners from the draft were the teams that didn't lose.

We chat about what the Canucks should do with the 15th overall pick. Is it time to trade or is it time to look toward the future? We both think the future is key despite the players not being the best in this year's #NHLDraftLottery. 

The Norris and Vezina nominations are in and we discuss what it really means to have a top defenceman or goaltender. Does it lead to playoff success? It didn't for the Nashville Predators and it is not looking good for the New Yrok Rangers. This moves on perfectly to the NHL Playoff series and who is in trouble. Can the Calgary Flames show they are the team they were in the regular season? Can Sidney Crosby push the Pens past the Rangers? We also chat about if Crosby is the Tom Brady of the NHL? How many people have written him off over the years? Could he win another championship?

Also, the Toronto Maple Leafs take game 5 against the Tampa Bay Lightning and I react a bit more positively this week. Then we wrap up around the rest of the NHL and much more on this week's episode!

Point Shot Hockey is back for episode 40 as Joshua Griffith and Bill Huan break down the end of the Vancouver Canucks season. We chat about the media availability with the players, including the situation with Brock Boeser answering a very personal question from the media. How do we feel the role of media is and where is that line between asking hockey and personal questions.

It seems to be "Just The Two of Us" as Patrik Allvin and Jim Rutherford met with the media and held nothing back. Including chastising their coach's zone exits, playing to the kids by talking about walking away from any "Whack" contracts for JT Miller, and a strong commitment to the message they sent when they were first introduced to the Canucks. Bill and Joshua discuss how they feel about the cutthroat approach and what it could mean in the future for the Canucks.

Then we move into the rest of the #NHL and Stanley Cup Playoffs. What series do we like and who do we think is going all the way this season? I curse out my Leafs several times watching them live while Bill laughs.

Joshua is rejoined by Sean, Malcolm, and Bill to firstly have Malcolm announce the impending arrival of a baby girl(!) before jumping into the swirling rumours regarding Brock Boeser, JT Miller, and others. How much of this is posturing and how much of what is said is genuine intentions going forward? 

As the Canucks have started to show familiar and subpar tendencies in their game, even under Bruce Boudreau, the roundtable covers what those flaws are and how they need to be addressed with the trade deadline and offseason. 

Joshua set the over/under for Canucks trade deadline deals at 2.5. Sean, Malcolm, and Bill take the over and Joshua the contrarian takes the under but everyone agrees that's a good line. Would you take the over or under?

With the Canadian Women's Hockey Olympic Gold, we touch on Marie-Phillip Poulin's clutch-ness, Canada's dominance at the tournament, and the vast interest in the final game. Women's hockey needs this kind of stage and even more of them as their game rightly deserves better investment and opportunity to grow. The interest is clearly there and strong.
