This edition of 32 Thoughts is dedicated to the late, great Bob Cole.

Jeff Marek and Elliotte Friedman delve into the Florida Panthers taking a 3-0 chokehold on the Tampa Bay Lighting (11:26). That makes way for conversation about the Islanders-Hurricanes series where Carolina has also taken a 3-0 lead (19:26). The fellas park the game-talk for a moment to focus on William Nylander's absence (23:28) and the firing of David Quinn in San Jose (26:35). Elliotte reveals some information about the Ottawa head coaching job (31:38). Jeff and Elliotte talk about Patrick Kane and his good-bye tweet (32:45) and they also highlight the Utah NHL fan event where they introduced some of the players (37:08).

The guys answer your questions in the Montana’s Thought Line (40:46).

Jeff and Elliotte dive into the Bruins-Leafs series (51:45) and the Oilers-Kings series (56:04). They also talk about how dominant the Vegas Golden Knights have looked against the Dallas Stars (58:04). The fellas ponder over what's up with Alex Ovechkin's play (1:02:14), and they wrap the podcast with a look at Jets-Avs (1:04:30) and Canucks-Preds (1:06:12).
