## Resource

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.
