Former NHLer Luke Gazdic kicked off today's show, and we dived straight into the hockey world. We started in the East, breaking down the dominant play of the Carolina Hurricanes and why this feels like their year to go all the way. Moving out West, Luke shared his thoughts on the Vegas Golden Knights locking up their spot in the Stanley Cup Final, and how they stack up against either Montreal or Carolina. We also talking coaching, specifically looking at Jared Bednar's future and whether his seat is getting warm. Finally, Luke pulled back the curtain on his time at Sportsnet, giving us a fun behind-the-scenes look at why he loves his broadcasting gig.
