Noodles (FULL INTERVIEW)

About this episode

The episode features an interview with Jamie McLennan discussing the Stanley Cup Final and coaching controversies in the NHL.

Boomer, Pinder and Rhett are joined by TSN's Jamie McLennan for a loaded edition of The Insider Hotline as the Stanley Cup Final takes another dramatic turn. The guys start with Carolina's impressive Game 4 win over Vegas and Rod Brind'Amour's bold decision to start Brandon Bussi, a move that paid off as the Hurricanes evened the series and turned the Final into a best-of-three. Noodles shares his thoughts on the goalie switch, what has changed in the series, and why some of Vegas' biggest stars need to find another gear heading into the pivotal final stretch. The conversation then shifts to the increasingly chaotic Mike Babcock situation in Edmonton as reports continue to emerge surrounding the Oilers' interest in hiring him as their next head coach. Noodles weighs in on the controversy, the NHLPA's involvement, and whether Edmonton is making the right call. To wrap things up, the guys discuss the latest Dylan Larkin rumours after reports surfaced that the Red Wings captain requested a trade, what it means for Detroit moving forward, and whether this situation is as serious as it appears.
