In a game they needed to have, the Carolina Hurricanes turned to their captain to even the Stanley Cup Final with the Vegas Golden Knights at two games apiece. Jordan Staal, a champion with the Pittsburgh Penguins in 2009, tallied twice, including the game winner early in the third period. In doing so, he became the first player 44 years to score in each of the first four games of the Final. Vic and Neil break it down and also note where the VGK need to elevate their game having lost home-ice advantage. We also have coaching news, a disgruntled captain specifying trade demands and a most worthy Masterton Trophy winner.

In the midst of the Stanley Cup Finals, plenty of off ice news. In this edition of Quick Takes, Neil gives his thoughts on the Kings hiring of Peter Laviolette and potential hirings of Joe Pavelski in Toronto and Mike Babcock in Edmonton.

After three games of the Stanley Cup Final, we all get an extra day before Game 4 to exhale in what has been an exhilarating first three games. Saturday, an extraordinary four-goal third period comeback by the Carolina Hurricanes fell short in overtime as Shea Theodore's fortunate bounce off Brandon Bussi's skate has the Golden Knights in a position to take command of the series Tuesday. Vic and Neil are joined by TSN analyst Craig Button to review the epic, look ahead and also pay tribute to a pair of long-time executives lost over the weekend.

After managing to qualify for the Stanley Cup Playoffs as a wild card in 2024-25, Le Club de Canadien took another step forward winning two post-season rounds in the spring of 2026. With one of the most dynamic top lines in the NHL and led by star sophomore Lane Hutson on the backline, the Habs have emerged as one of the most entertaining teams in the NHL. With their goaltending apparently set with Jakub Dobes emerging as a clear number one, the management team of Jeff Gorton, Kent Hughes and head coach Martin St. Louis will look to strengthen further to keep the trajectory headed north.

For 50 minutes, the Vegas Golden Knights had control of a game which would have given them a 2-0 lead in the Stanley Cup Final. However, in a most improbable ten minutes, the Carolina Hurricanes managed to score three goals in 5:05 before getting tied in the final minute. And on a power play, Seth Jarvis became an overtime hero turning the Final into a best-of-five. Also, the third time's a charm for Tampa Bay Lightning head coach Jon Cooper as he wins his first Jack Adams Award as NHL Coach of the Year. Previously nominated in 2014 and 2019, Cooper narrowly beat out Lindy Ruff from the Buffalo Sabres and rookie bench boss Dan Muse of the Pittsburgh Penguins.

Only 12 minutes into the opening game of the Stanley Cup Final, it appeared as is the Carolina Hurricanes were going to cruise in a manner similar to what we've seen in the first three rounds. However, their Vegas opponents are a veteran team. Battle-hardened and only three years removed from a championship. Once they get their legs under them, the Golden Knights pressured the 'Canes in a manner that they have yet to see in the playoffs and used a late goal to take home-ice advantage away. Vic and Neil break it down and discuss the adjustments Rod Brind'Amour may need to make for Thursday's second game. We'll also talk about the GM moves affecting the Avalanche and Predators, a new head coach in Vancouver and the awarding of the Norris Trophy.
