## Resource

Today we chatted about the Stanley Cup Final and the NHL coaching carousel, from John Tortorella and Ryan Craig to Jim Hiller, Peter Laviolette, and (somehow still) Mike Babcock. We then moved on to some scintillating PWHL awards discussion and a retrospective on the expansion process and entry draft, which was happening as we recorded.
