With the Stanley Cup playoffs about to drop, Sean Baligian welcomes Northville head coach, Coaches‑Association president, and Team Michigan co‑GM Ryan Ossenmacher for a rink‑side preview of this weekend’s Juniors‑vs‑Seniors showcase in Novi. They break down the selection gauntlet (400+ try‑outs), spotlight future stars such as Ian Castamore, Owen Hall, Callan Ray, and Aiden Cook, and explain why Michigan high‑school hockey is deeper than ever—catch the broadcast on State Champs and Local 4 Plus.

Then Sean and analyst Mike Iavasile lace up for a coast‑to‑coast playoff round‑table:

• Can Toronto finally silence the Senators—or will Craig Berube’s crew bruise its way to an upset?

• Why the Lightning might out‑grind Florida, and how Vasilevskiy still owns the big‑save spotlight.

• Dallas vs. Colorado: late‑night must‑watch or insomnia cure?

• Kings’ last stand against McDavid’s Oilers, plus dark‑horse paths for Winnipeg and Vegas.

Expect brisk banter, watch‑party barbecue plans (Tuesday and Saturday—BYO wieners!), and plenty of sponsor shout‑outs to Legacy Partners, Wealth Advantage Group, and Broadwell Homes. Popcorn ready? Pull up a seat—this episode of Wut The Puck?! serves sizzling Michigan talent and playoff predictions hotter than rink‑side nacho cheese.
