The Stanley Cup Playoffs continue to deliver storylines everywhere you look, and Brenden Escott is joined by Cam Moon for a breakdown of a dominant showing from the Vegas Golden Knights after they completed a sweep of the President’s Trophy-winning Colorado Avalanche in the Western Conference Final. We discuss whether injuries finally caught up to Colorado, the impact of stars like Mitch Marner and Jack Eichel and the steady goaltending Vegas continues to get from Carter Hart.

We also dive into the remarkable turnaround engineered by John Tortorella, who now sits on the verge of joining rare company with a chance to win a Stanley Cup after taking over a team midseason. Over in the East, we examine how the Montreal Canadiens are somehow still hanging around in their series with the Carolina Hurricanes despite being heavily outshot and chasing the play for long stretches.

Plus, thoughts on Evgeni Malkin returning to Pittsburgh for a 21st season, why it never felt right imagining him anywhere else and a look ahead to another busy summer sports season in Edmonton with both the Edmonton Elks and Edmonton Riverhawks back in action this week.
