Canes Closing in on the Cup + Doug MacLean
About this episode
The episode features a discussion on the Hurricanes' Game 5 victory and insights from former NHL executive Doug MacLean.
Guest host Gord Stellick is in for Nick Kypreos, joining Justin Bourne and Sam McKee following the Hurricanes' Game 5 victory over the Golden Knights in the Stanley Cup Final. To help break it down, former NHL President, GM, and head coach Doug MacLean (8:41) joins the guys for Off-the-Rails Friday! Mac shares his takeaways from Game 5 and discusses Rod Brind'Amour's impact, John Tortorella's goalie decision for Game 6, why he's not a fan of Mike Babcock in Edmonton, and Dylan Larkin's trade request. Then, he weighs in on what the Leafs should do with the first-overall pick, and whether Vegas and Carolina's roster construction will prompt more teams to trade top draft picks. Finally, Justin, Gord and Sam react to Nikita Kucherov winning the Hart trophy and take your questions and comments on the text line!
