Maple Leafs on the precipice, Sidney Crosby’s injury a hurdle for Penguins, and the Avalanche advance

On this episode of The Cross-Check NHL Show, the final days of the first round are upon us. Hosts Andrew Berkshire and Mary Clarke dissect the awesome first round matchup between the Toronto Maple Leafs and Tampa Bay Lightning, with two heavyweights with two incredible narratives duking it out. Next, the New York Rangers and Florida Panthers have punched back in their series, but the biggest news out of the Eastern Conference is Sidney Crosby’s injury. Will the Pittsburgh Penguins have what it takes to overcome another potential devastating injury to their team’s core? Plus, the Colorado Avalanche advanced to the second round, sweeping the Nashville Predators. While this result was expected, the true test is yet to come for the Avalanche in the next round.
