Former NHLer and NHL Network analyst Mike Rupp (5:25) joins Nick Kypreos and Justin Bourne to chat about the New York Islanders hiring Peter DeBoer as head coach to replace Patrick Roy, if he can finally lead a team to a Stanley Cup win, the New York Rangers' late-season resurgence, teams who have had a great start to their year now dropping games during a playoff race, if the Ottawa Senators can go on a deep Stanley Cup run if they make it in, if playoffs dictate Macklin Celebrini's Hart Trophy case, and if 'coaching bump' is a real thing. Then, Nick, Justin and Sam McKee discuss the Columbus Blue Jackets dropping in the standings and race, and how the Ottawa Senators control their Wild Card destiny.
