Nick Cotsonika joins; Conference Final storylines

from NHL @TheRink · host National Hockey League

Dan and Shawn are joined by NHL.com columnist Nick Cotsonika for his perspective on the postseason dominance by the Vegas Golden Knights, as Vegas stuns the NHL with a sweep of Presidents’ Trophy winner Colorado to reach their third Stanley Cup Final in the franchise’s nine-year history, and the influence of VGK’s late-season hiring of head coach John Tortorella on the team’s current run. The guys open the show with reaction to Wednesday’s dominant 4-0 win by the Carolina Hurricanes, as the Canes take a 3-1 lead on the Montreal Canadiens in the Eastern Conference Final, and wrap the show with discussion about Colorado’s future after their postseason exit.
