The NHL’s Final Four is locked in with the Montreal Canadiens and Carolina Hurricanes in the Eastern Conference Final and the Vegas Golden Knights and Colorado Avalanche set to begin the Western Conference Final tonight. Today, the guys looks ahead to both series and discuss how the Canes’ long layoff could impact Game 1 against the Habs and how Mark Stone’s absence and Cale Makar’s seemingly-injured shoulder will affect both teams. Plus, thoughts on the NHL upholding (for now) the VGK’s forfeiture of their second-round draft pick, their refusal to let other teams speak to former head coach Bruce Cassidy, and the guys tell us what they’ve learned about Adam Foote and Alex Tuch this week to close things out.
