Welcome to the Hotstove! As always, I'm your host, Travis Yost. On Wednesday, I was joined by Aaron Musick of the Colorado Avalanche and John Jaeckel of the Chicago Blackhawks to discuss the Stanley Cup Quarterfinals.

Blackhawks defenseman Johnny Oduya considered each question with almost as much poise and patience as he handles the puck with an opponent bearing down on him. His main message? All he wanted to do after he was acquired from the Winnipeg Jets was fit in and contribute. So he doesn’t quite know what to make of all the adu

The Blackhawks, of course, said everyone will need to step up to compensate for Duncan Keith’s absence. But if there’s one defenseman who will have more opportunities to make an impact with Keith suspended for five games, it’s Johnny Oduya. While not exactly like Keith, Oduya is still a good-skating puck-mover who ca
