Sportsnet’s Kyle Bukauskas

from Inside Sports Hosted by CHED / Curiouscast

The Conference Finals are here and there’s no shortage of storylines across the NHL. Brenden Escott and Kyle Bukauskas dive into the fallout from the Edmonton Oilers moving on from Kris Knoblauch, the growing speculation surrounding Bruce Cassidy and whether Vegas is playing hardball by blocking interview requests from Edmonton and Los Angeles. We also discuss why Knoblauch may not rush back into another NHL head coaching opportunity and what the next chapter could look like for him. Out West, we break down how the Vegas Golden Knights can slow down a heavily favoured Colorado Avalanche squad in a must-watch Western Conference Final. In the East, we examine what made the Montreal Canadiens-Buffalo Sabres series so razor-close and what to expect now that Montreal faces the relentless pressure of the Carolina Hurricanes. We also touch on coaching changes in Vancouver, where Manny Malhotra has emerged as the rumoured frontrunner following the departure of Adam Foote, plus a little road-trip flavour from Raleigh as playoff hockey takes over the city.
