Episode Description

Jeff Marek and Greg Wyshynski break down a massive night around the Stanley Cup Playoffs as the Vegas Golden Knights take Game 1 against the Colorado Avalanche and shift the conversation around the Western Conference Final. The guys dive into Nathan MacKinnon’s dominant performance, his postgame frustration, Cale Makar’s absence, and why Vegas looked so locked in defensively. They also discuss Mitch Marner’s incredible playoff run and why his game looks different in Vegas compared to his time in Toronto. Then they preview Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Final between the Montreal Canadiens and Carolina Hurricanes, touching on Carolina’s lengthy layoff, Montreal’s momentum, Lane Hutson, Frederik Andersen, and early Conn Smythe conversations. Plus, newly crowned Walter Cup champion Aaron Ambrose joins the show after Montreal Victoire captured the championship to discuss the celebration, Marie-Philip Poulin, and the growth of women's hockey.
