We’ve got a shorter episode today, but we jump right into the chaos around the NHL. We start with Game 7 between the Tampa Bay Lightning and Montreal Canadiens — a wild finish where Montreal advanced despite recording only nine shots on goal. One of the strangest elimination wins you’ll ever see. Next, we break down the Toronto Maple Leafs hiring John Chayka as their new general manager and what this move means for a franchise that continues to spiral. From front‑office decisions to on‑ice results, the Leafs look like they’re heading straight down the drain. We wrap things up with a full look at Round 2 of the Stanley Cup Playoffs, touching on every series so far and how each matchup is shaping up. 🔊 New episodes drop every Sunday & Thursday @ 7 PM EST 🔥 🎧 Stay locked in for the hottest takes, bold predictions, and real talk from around the NHL. 🔥 Follow Us on Social Media: ▶ TikTok | https://www.tiktok.com/@checkfrombehindpod?lang=en ▶ Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/checkfrombehind/ ▶ X (Twitter) | https://x.com/CheckFromBehind ▶ Twitch | https://www.twitch.tv/checkingfrombehind 📧 Email | checkfrombehindzcp@gmail.com 🎙️ Presented by The Hockey Podcast Network 💰 Sponsored by DraftKings Sportsbook – The official sports betting partner of THPN: Spend just $5 you get $200 in bonus bets SIGN UP HERE: https://tinyurl.com/DKSIGNUP25 💥 Powered by DUBBY — Fuel your game at https://www.dubby.gg/ and use code CFBPOD to save 10% on your entire order. 00:00 Introduction 01:46 Mtl/Tbl Game 7 11:00 Leafs Talk 21:25 2nd RD Underway 37:30 Outro
