The Talk Before Puck Drop -
from Amalie Benjamin of the NHL's website,The Carolina Hurricanes have become very familiar with waiting in these Stanley Cup Playoffs. There were those 11 days between the end of the Eastern Conference Second Round and the start of the conference final, days of practicing and biding their time, thinking about what was to come next.But there is no anticipation quite like the lead-in to Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Final, which will be played against the Vegas Golden Knights at Lenovo Center on Tuesday (8 p.m. ET; ABC, SN, TVAS, CBC).“Yeah, it was a long day,” Hurricanes captain Jordan Staal said after their morning skate Tuesday, the final preparations for their first game since May 29, a 6-1 win against the Montreal Canadiens in Game 5 of the conference final.Which was why both teams were doing all they could to welcome the butterflies -- and to keep them at bay -- before puck drop....The Golden Knights haven’t played since May 26,

via Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet,Good Stanley Cup morning everyone, quick blog with a major development:According to several sources, the Nashville Predators have permission to talk to Colorado GM Chris MacFarland. But, according to these same sources, the biggest question is: what exactly is the title, role and offer?A lateral move is unlikely to result in a zip code change for MacFarland, who was promoted to his current position in July 2022. He was elevated to that role when Colorado desired to keep him instead of allowing him to interview for Anaheim’s then-vacant GM position, eventually hiring Pat Verbeek.But Nashville has an open window, so it’s time for the Predators to make their case, do their best Don Draper: “One great idea can win someone over.”

The Opinion Of One -
from Steve Simmons of the Toronto Sun,- Before you hand Mitch Marner the Conn Smythe Trophy, understand this: He scored seven playoff goals and 11 assists against Utah and Anaheim. Since then, he had no goals, three assists, in the one-sided Western Conference final against Colorado.- If you took the names off the back of the Carolina Hurricanes jerseys, you might not know one player from the other. They’re almost like an assembly-line hockey team. They all do their jobs. They all take care of their widgets. They should have all the name ‘Brind’Amour’ on the back of their jerseys. They are their coach’s team.- I really thought the Montreal Canadiens were ready to challenge for the Cup. I thought wrong. They were blown out in the Eastern Conference final. After one big period in Game 1, the Habs were outscored by Carolina 17-7 and outshot 151-76. There wasn’t a single moment in the final two games when they looked anything like a contender.
