Stanley Cupdate - Captain Staal Makes Final a Best-of-Three - June 10, 2026

About this episode

The episode discusses the Carolina Hurricanes' pivotal game in the Stanley Cup Final, highlighting Jordan Staal's performance and the challenges faced by the Vegas Golden Knights.

In a game they needed to have, the Carolina Hurricanes turned to their captain to even the Stanley Cup Final with the Vegas Golden Knights at two games apiece. Jordan Staal, a champion with the Pittsburgh Penguins in 2009, tallied twice, including the game winner early in the third period. In doing so, he became the first player 44 years to score in each of the first four games of the Final. Vic and Neil break it down and also note where the VGK need to elevate their game having lost home-ice advantage. We also have coaching news, a disgruntled captain specifying trade demands and a most worthy Masterton Trophy winner.
