Vally's View: Can Carolina Flip the Final?
6/9/202650 min
Nick Kypreos, Justin Bourne and Sam McKee kick off with the news out of Edmonton as the Oilers seem poised to hire Mike Babcock as their next head coach. Then, MSG analyst and CEO of Clear Sight Analytics, Steve Valiquette (8:25), stops by to help tee up Game 4 between the Golden Knights and Hurricanes. He breaks down the first three games by the numbers, why Carolina should turn to Brandon Bussi, and why Mitch Marner has found more playoff success in Vegas than in Toronto. After, they get into a Stanley Cup Final-themed edition of Grill Marks! Finally, Nick, Justin and Sam discuss Bruce Cassidy's narrowing options, Michael McCarron signing a six-year extension with the Wild, and potential trade packages for Dylan Larkin.
