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. Hosts: Max Bultman and Corey PronmanExecutive Producer: Chris FlanneryProducer: Chris FlanneryWatch full episodes on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@theathletichockeyshowJoin our Discord Server: https://discord.gg/VTm9VjkFSubscribe to The Athletic: https://theathletic.com/hockeyshow Hosted on Acast.
