## Resource

On this hour of Flames Talk, Pat Steinberg is joined by Eric Francis for another edition of The Eric Francis Hour...this time coming live from Vegas for the Stanley Cup Final! He talks about how he believes this is one of the best Stanley Cup Finals we've had in recent memory, how impressive Carolina has been, and how difficult of a decision it must've been for Rod Brind'Amour to go to Bussi amid the struggles from Andersen. (26:24) Later, Pat and Eric continue to talk about the Stanley Cup Final and how they feel Rasmus Andersson has performed in his slightly less prominent role with the Vegas Golden Knights, and why Eric believes the Calgary Flames will be one of the biggest stories coming out of the NHL Draft.
