The Firebirds have never lost a first-round playoff series (knock on wood) in their four-year history and with a team as healthy and loaded as its been all year, the confidence-level is high. Of course Bakersfield will have something to say about it. Another guy with something to say about this series is Gustav Olofsson, the Firebirds defenseman who has been on the team all four years of its existence.

And as fate would have it, the Fire & Ice Podcast hosted by Judd Spicer has the player affectionately known as "Goose" as its guest in the episode that just dropped. Enjoy some postseason prep via a visit with Olofsson, and stay tuned for a playoff-centric "Desert Shootout" segment with Shad Powers, sports & leisure editor for The Desert Sun. You can listen to the award-winning podcast sponsored by Desert Willow Golf Resort right here.
