UNAPOLOGETIC! McCrimmon defends bold move, hiring of Torts

GM Kelly McCrimmon defending his firing of Bruce Cassidy and the hiring of John Tortorella late in the season.  McCrimmon, in an NHL.com interview said the Golden Knights were sinking from first to third place and could have been slumping out of the playoffs entirely, so he had to make a change. Torts has dramatically revived the season and has led VGK to its third Cup Final in nine years.  The team has seen a shift in culture and has been relentless in its pursuit of its second Stanley Cup.  We also talk about the ECF, as Carolina looks to wrap up its series against Montreal.  And its W-T-F time, What The Friday, with fan comments.  FANDUEL DISCLAIMER: 21+ in select states.
