Marner's Cup Final Moment + Coaching Market Movement

About this episode

The episode discusses the Stanley Cup Final and coaching market movements in the NHL.

Nick Kypreos, Justin Bourne and Sam McKee look back on Vegas' dramatic win over Carolina in Game 3 to go up 2-1 in the Stanley Cup Final. They discuss Mitch Marner's hat trick, why he's found more playoff success with the Knights than with the Leafs, Vegas' blown four-goal lead, whether Brandon Bussi's relief appearance earned him the start in Game 4, and Brayden McNabb's toughness. Then, they discuss the LA Kings hiring Peter Laviolette as head coach, what it means for the Leafs in their coaching search, Joe Pavelski emerging as a candidate, what a Calder Cup win would mean for Easton Cowan, Dylan Larkin revealing his list of preferred teams to be traded to, and the Oilers' reported interest in Mike Babcock for head coach.
