## Resource

Dan and Shawn are joined by TNT lead analyst Eddie Olczyk (17:15) to preview the upcoming conference finals between Montreal and Carolina in the east and Colorado and Vegas in the west. The guys open the show with reaction to Monday night’s game seven in Buffalo, as Alex Newhook’s second game seven winner of the playoffs propelled Montreal through to the conference final, and debate whether nearly two weeks of rest will help or hurt the Hurricanes versus the Canadiens. The crew wraps the show with debate about Edmonton's decision to dismiss head coach Kris Knoblauch after a pair of Stanley Cup Final appearances and discuss options for his replacement.
