Summary

Jeff and Producer Matt react to the potential “no-tax” Cup final matchup and how Florida managed to get there. Garry Galley discusses the impact of playing in warm weather climates, Jack Eichel’s improved two-way game and what Dallas needs to do to get back in their series (11:48). Bill Lindsay looks back on Florida’s sweep of Carolina, how the team is seemingly built on having a bunch of castoffs and memories of the 1996 Cup final run for the Panthers (33:17). We hear from Jim Nill and his sitdown with Jeff before Producer Matt jumps back on to give his thoughts on Vegas-Dallas Game Four (53:18). The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the hosts and guests and do not necessarily reflect the position of Rogers Sports & Media or any affiliates.

0:47.8	penalty we're going to go on the the gold tender interference controversy in a

1:04.3	to get into Carolina a little bit later on in the program. This is a fascinating
