Flaherty is the first player to win three Walter Cups, having won two with the Minnesota Frost before coming over in free agency this summer. Lina Ljungblom added a fourth.

The Offer Sheet Bowl: Looking ahead to the Eastern Conference Final -
Ryan Henkel joins the podcast from his regular station in Raleigh, Carolina. He has just come back from practice and we start by discussing coming off a Game 7 overtime win high versus an 11-day rest. There is some banter with regard to Jesperi Kotkaniemi before the conversation focuses more on the upcoming series.The Hurricanes’ greatest strength heading into this series is their ability to roll four lines without losing pace, structure, or pressure. Sebastian Aho’s top unit naturally draws the most attention, much in the same way as Montreal’s top line does. The Hurricanes have been winning through depth, especially the second line of Logan Stankoven, Jackson Blake and Taylor Hall which has emerged as a dominant force at five-on-five. Carolina’s third line becomes even more dangerous with Nikolaj Ehlers, whose elite skating and ability to create offence through the neutral zone make him a matchup nightmare. Even the fourth line contributes with speed, physical
