The Coach likes the way Detroit attacks the opposing zone, and he's got nothing but love for the inspirational powers of Gary Roberts. But Don is still concerned about the amount of punishment Sidney Crosby absorbs.

Grapes has an idea how to improve the game: change the glass along the boards.

Don says Tomas Holmstrom is paying the price for past sins. Plus, the Coach reveals the key to Pittsburgh's potent power play.

Don is speaking from experience when he says that home teams like the Dallas Stars and Philadelphia Flyers turn it up with their seasons on the line at home. Grapes shows why you'll never get in trouble if you put the puck in deep and salutes Brenden Morrow, an old-time hockey player that's had a great post-season with the Dallas Stars.

Pittsburgh's Marc-Andre Fleury is a young goaltender with little playoff experience, but Grapes likes the way his teammates treat him like a veteran before the game to loosen him up.

Don thinks the Dallas Stars have got to start hitting the net with their shots if they want to get back into the Western Conference final against the Detroit Red Wings. Grapes also has a few choice words for the Colorado Avalanche after they fired head coach Joel Quenneville this week.

Don is sure that Paul Maurice will bounce back as a head coach in the NHL, but he isn't as confident in the Toronto Maple Leafs' search process for a new general manager. Grapes also doesn't understand the current infatuation with Fabian Brunnstrom and thinks that the fans of Hockeytown are craving more action despite their team's success.

Don stands up for the much-maligned Joe Thornton, and praises the San Jose Sharks for playing old-time hockey.

Don Cherry, Hockey Night in Canada's resident former coach of the year, unveils the candidates for this year's Jack Adams Award: Guy Carbonneau, Mike Babcock and Bruce Boudreau.

Cherry said several deserving coaches - including Claude Julien, Joel Quenneville, Michel Therrien, Barry Trotz, John Stevens - didn't make the cut, which speaks to the depth of quality bench bosses in the NHL

"I have never seen, ever, such (a number of) worthy candidates in all my life, but unlike when I won it, it was a foregone conclusion," quipped Cherry, who won the award in 1976 with Boston.

If Dallas goes on to win the Stanley Cup, it?ll be because of the play of Marty Turco, who Grapes calls the smartest goaltender in the NHL.
