About this episode

The episode discusses Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Final between the Hurricanes and Golden Knights, featuring insights from guests and reactions to recent NHL news.

Nick Kypreos, Gord Stellick and Sam McKee look ahead to Game 2 between the Hurricanes and Golden Knights in the Stanley Cup Final. To help tee it up, the Athletic's Jesse Granger joins the show (5:31) to share his impressions of Game 1, John Tortorella's impact, how William Karlsson's return balances Vegas' lineup, and the team's confidence in Carter Hart. Then, Nick, Gord and Sam react to Dylan Larkin requesting a trade from the Red Wings. Finally, Canucks Central's Satiar Shah stops by (34:25) to discuss Manny Malhotra being hired as head coach in Vancouver, the organisation's process, what he brings to the bench, whether the hire pushes them to pick Caleb Malhota in the draft, and the pressure on the Sedin twins.
