Stanley Cupdate - Hurricanes One Step Away - June 12, 2026

About this episode

The episode discusses the Carolina Hurricanes' victory in the fifth game of the Stanley Cup Final and the implications of player injuries and awards.

In Thursday's pivotal fifth game, the Carolina Hurricanes moved to within a victory of their first Stanley Cup title in 20 years drawing off from the Vegas Golden Knights during the second period en route to a 4-2 win. The loss for Vegas was compounded when forward William Karlsson went down to injury midway through the game and may be finished for the Final. Vic and Neil break it down and look ahead to Sunday's sixth game. Also of note: the Hart Trophy for Most Valuable Player has been announced and another long-time veteran is looking for a trade.
