With the Stanley Cup in the building, the Carolina Hurricanes eliminated the Vegas Golden Knights, capturing their second Stanley Cup in franchise history. Max and Shayna look back on a memorable Stanley Cup Final, Jordan Staal winning the Conn Smythe, the disappearing act by the Golden Knights’ Jack Eichel and Mitch Marner, and the storybook ending for Brandon Bussi, who won three straight games in relief of Frederik Andersen in the Final.

The Carolina Hurricanes are one win away from their second Stanley Cup in franchise history after a 4-2 win over the Vegas Golden Knights in last night’s Game 5 in Raleigh. Today, the guys break down the historic play of Canes captain Jordan Staal, Brandon Bussi’s improbable return to the Carolina net, and what the VGK must do to force a Game 7 on Wednesday night. Plus, thoughts on where Oilers defenseman Darnell Nurse could play next season after requesting a trade out of Edmonton and Nikita Kucherov very narrowly edging out Connor McDavid for his second Hart Trophy as league MVP.

The Carolina Hurricanes, led by captain Jordan Staal, evened-up the Stanley Cup Final at two games apiece. Sean, Frank and Sean break down another nail-biter in Vegas, if Staal has done enough to enter the Conn Smythe Trophy race and how Brandon Bussi did in his first career playoff start. They discuss Mike Babcock potentially joining the Edmonton Oilers, the NHLPA asking the NHL to delay the hiring until a proper investigation can be done and the bad press that Dylan Larkin has received since demanding a trade out of Detroit.
