The Golden Knights beat the Hurricanes in a back-and-forth Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Final. Sean, Frank and Sean dissect the game, praise the Golden Knights’ resilience, the accidental blocked shot by Mitch Marner, the struggles of the Hurricanes’ first line and the indifferent play of goalies Frederick Andersen and Carter Hart. The NHL’s new All-Star Game format and Gary Bettman’s status as NHL commissioner caught the attention of Sean and Sean in what they learned this week.

And I just gotta say, as Gentille, you do a lot of traveling, so maybe this will resonate with you, anyone who's listening who does a lot of traveling. No one prepares you for life after pantry, LAP as I call it. Are you aware of the pantry at some of these hotels? It's a 24-hour room, and it's stocked with coffee, water, chips, fruit, banana bread.
