Canes Closing in on the Cup + Doug MacLean
6/12/202650 min
Guest host Gord Stellick is in for Nick Kypreos, joining Justin Bourne and Sam McKee following the Hurricanes' Game 5 victory over the Golden Knights in the Stanley Cup Final. To help break it down, former NHL President, GM, and head coach Doug MacLean (8:41) joins the guys for Off-the-Rails Friday! Mac shares his takeaways from Game 5 and discusses Rod Brind'Amour's impact, John Tortorella's goalie decision for Game 6, why he's not a fan of Mike Babcock in Edmonton, and Dylan Larkin's trade request. Then, he weighs in on what the Leafs should do with the first-overall pick, and whether Vegas and Carolina's roster construction will prompt more teams to trade top draft picks. Finally, Justin, Gord and Sam react to Nikita Kucherov winning the Hart trophy and take your questions and comments on the text line!

They showed it closed circuit- Yeah ... and our neighbor was the public relations director. And I, I like, you know, when you happen-- I was in a bar, like, I don't know, eight years ago, 12 years ago.
