About this episode
Ahead of Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Final, Nick Kypreos, Justin Bourne, and Sam McKee start with some news around the league with the Canucks promoting Manny Malhotra to head coach, and Chris MacFarland leaving Colorado to be the Predators' GM. Then, MSG analyst and CEO of Clear Sight Analytics, Steve Valiquette, stops by (11:16) to help tee up Game 1 between Carolina and Vegas. Vally reflects on each team's path to the Final, who has the edge in net between Freddie Andersen and Carter Hart, whether the Hurricanes' top line can break through, and how K'Andre Miller and Taylor Hall have found their fit in Carolina. Later, they play a Cup Final-themed game of Grill Marks! Finally, Nick, Justin, and Sam wrap up with their series picks, Zach Werenski winning the Norris, and the Leafs-centric reporting around Mitch Marner.
