Last Word on Sports is proud to present their hockey podcast, On the Powerplay with Ben and Dave. Join Ben Kerr and Dave Gove each week as they take a look around the Hockey World focusing on the big issues of the NHL and elsewhere.

Its the most wonderful time of the year, the start of the Stanley Cup Playoffs. Sixteen teams enter the tournament for Lord Stanley’s Mug, full of hope, and ready to do battle. Dave and Ben are here to go On The Powerplay and break it all down for you in their Stanley Cup Playoffs Preview.

The boys go series by series giving their breakdowns and predictions.

Can the Ducks defeat the Winnipeg Jets and the white-outs at the MTS Centre to go on to the next round? Who will prevail when the Canucks and Flames do battle once again? With the Kings eliminated is it the Blackhawks turn to take back the Stanley Cup, or will Pekka Rinne and the St. Louis Blues stand in their way? And what of the St. Louis Blues and Minnesota Wild, will two goalies be able to stop the Wild led by Devan Dubnyk?

Out east its Hart Trophy favorite Carey Price and the Montreal Canadiens going up against the hottest team in hockey, the Ottawa Senators. Can the Hamburgler pull the victory, or will Price lead the Canadiens to the second round? In the battle of the Steve Yzerman Cup, will the Detroit Red Wings have enough to take out Stevie Y’s new team in Tampa Bay? And in the Metropolitan division can Sidney Crosby and the Penguins form a challenge to President’s Trophy winning New York Rangers? Will the Islanders and Capitals re-create the playoff magic from their epic 1987 encounter?

To wrap up the show, the boys give their predictions on who will win the Stanley Cup.

All this and more as we go “On the Powerplay.”
