Episode Description from the Publisher

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.Host: Sean Gentille and Sean McIndoeWith: Frank CorradoExecutive Producer: Chris FlanneryProducer: Jeff DometWatch 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.
