Episode notes

The Vegas Golden Knights are just one win away from eliminating the powerhouse Colorado Avalanche from the playoffs and advancing to the Stanley Cup Final for the third time in nine years as an NHL franchise. Today, the guys break down how Vegas is putting it all together at the exact right time and how injuries to Cale Makar and Nathan MacKinnon have derailed the Avs. Plus, thoughts on the Carolina Hurricanes dominating the Montreal Canadiens in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Final and one Conn Smythe pick for each of the final four teams left in the playoffs to close things out.
