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.

We are less than a month away from the NHL Draft and on today’s episode the guys deep dive into their annual GM mock, where they play general manager for every first round pick, making decisions based on their own lists and their given team’s needs. Before that, they take a look at Corey’s scouts and execs survey to get a sense of where the league is on the draft’s top 10 picks, and to close things out, they break down this year’s goalie and overager crop.
