Vegas' Game 1 Statement + Leafs Coach Search Update
6/3/202650 min
Nick Kypreos, Justin Bourne and Sam McKee look back on the Golden Knights' win over the Hurricanes to open the Stanley Cup Final. They discuss Shea Theodore's bounce-back after an early mistake, John Tortorella's effective timeout, and the Hurricanes' top line running out of time to get going. Hockey Night in Canada analyst Craig Simpson joins the show (11:10) to share his thoughts on Game 1, Vegas' star power, how the Canes can wake Sebastian Aho up, and whether Game 2 is a must-win for Carolina. Later, Nick, Justin and Sam assess Peter Laviolette and Patrick Roy's potential fit as head coach in Toronto.
