Summary

Jeff and Elliotte kick things off breaking down the mood in Sunrise Florida ahead of Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Final. They discuss why tonight might be the biggest game in NHL history and reflect upon some of the other games in contention for the biggest of all time, before getting into Kyle Okposo's return to the lineup in place of Nick Cousins. The pair weigh in on the extra day between Games 6 and 7, as well as the mindset that the Panthers need to have heading into tonight's matchup. Later, Jeff and Elliotte chat about what went wrong in the relationship between the Winnipeg Jets and top prospect Rutger McGroarty, the trade talk surrounding his future, Matvei Michkov reportedly heading to North America, and when we can expect him to join the Flyers. 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.
