On the NHL podcast with Marko:

#1 Marko, with just less than ten minutes left in the game and the Vegas Golden Knights trailing the Florida Panthers the Knights made good use of their last and final period of the first game of the Finals. With the game tied 2-2 the Knights came roaring back with three goals to take game 1, 5-2.

#2 The Knights Jonathan Marchessault said that the Knights were ready mentally and breaking it open like they did in the third period was a show of their character to kick off the finals.

#3 The Knights Zach Whitecloud scored a critical goal and Mark Stone got an insurance goal but the goal was reviewed for a high stick and the goal turned out to be confirmed.

#4 Marko, the Knights had scored their third and final goal when Reilly Smith scored an empty netter to make the final look like there was never a tie score.

#5 The Panthers goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky stopped 29 of 33 shots and allowed four goals. As you saw this first game did the Panthers just seem to loose confidence in the third period or the Knights just started working their offensive plans and pulled it off on Florida.

#1 Charanbir, the Finals tonight will be the first time since 1994 that the Finals will be on cable. TNT who is under the umbrella of Warner Brothers Discovery Sports in their second season televising the NHL.

#2 TBS has done the NCAA men’s basketball finals only three times and the NHL and NBA Conference Finals and MLB league championship series but this for TNT is a historic plateau, reaching the mountain top if it were doing the entire finals all on cable as first.

#3 Charanbir, turning the Vegas Golden Knights this is their sixth year in the NHL since their first year going to the finals and nearly becoming pro sports first expansion team to win the championship in their first year which they lost to the Washington Capitals.

#4 For the finals this week the Knights who are hosting during the morning skate Thursday fans were directed to the overflow lot and were hoping to get in the rink where the lines were 30 deep to get in at T Mobile Center.

#5 The Knights William Carrier who was on that original team one of six remaining players says this team says this Knights team says this team is better overall and the original team were mostly on a contract year.

#6 Charanbir, the puck drops at 5:00pm tonight at T Mobile Center for game 1 of the NHL Finals between the Florida Panthers and Knights how do you see this one opening up the series?

On the NHL Stanley Cup Finals podcast with Len:

#1 Both the Vegas Golden Knights and Florida Panthers had their shares of six game or seven game thrills this post season. For the Knights they held their own against the surging Dallas Stars who were making a comeback after being down 3-0 and making it 3-2 before the Knights came back to win game 6 to eliminate the Stars and advance to the finals.

#2 For the Florida Panthers they were on life support during the first round of this post season down 3-1 and came back eliminate the Boston Bruins 4-3. They went on to eliminate the Toronto Maple Leafs and the Carolina Hurricanes to advance to the NHL Finals.

#3 The Panthers in their last series with the Hurricanes swept them clean in four games 4-0, the Panthers Matthew Tkachuk had quite an offensive series scoring two goals in game four that polished off the Hurricanes 4-3.

#4 Which goaltender do you feel has the advantage going into this Final the Knights Adin Hill or the Florida Panthers Sergei Bobrovsky.

#5 So now it’s game 1 of the Finals with the puck dropping at the T Mobile Center on Saturday night as the Knights host the Panthers it’s almost a miracle that both teams are here how do you see them facing off Saturday night?

NHL Stanley Cup Western Conference podcast with Marko Ukalovic: Can Stars even series?; Knights badly want to end it tonight

Dallas Stars left wing Jason Robertson (21) celebrates after scoring against the Vegas Golden Knights during the second period of game 5 of the Western Conference Finals at the T Mobile Center in Las Vegas on Sat May 27, 2023 (AP News photo)

#1 Marko, how shocked are you that the Dallas Stars down 3-0 now are in a position to tie it up on home ice tonight in Dallas. What helped turn it around for the Stars?

#2 Taking a look at that game 4 come back by the Stars did they get rejuvenated by Joe Pavelski’s overtime goal that saved them from eliminaton.

#3 Ty Dellandrea who was a healthy scratch for the Stars got into the line up in game 5 and ended up scoring two goals that help give the Stars a two goal win over the Knights and cut Vegas’ lead by one game. Dellandrea sat for those two games but was sure motivated in game 5.

#4 Marko, if you had to point to any one thing that put the Knights behind the eight ball after dropping that overtime game 4 was it their confidence has lacked or the Stars just are getting after it more authority?

#5 Marko, the Knights are going to have to rely on their go tos for tonight’s game to find the back end of the net, Mark Stone, William Karlsson, Jonathan Marchessault, and Jack Eichel.

On the NHL Stanley Cup Western Conference Finals:

#1 The Dallas Stars came out on Thursday with a overtime win 3-2 against the Vegas Golden Knights in Dallas. The Stars came into the contest with their backs to the wall down in the series 3-0 and got a lot of motivation to come back and avoid elimination.

#2 Matt, you got to know Joe Pavelski when he skated with the San Jose Sharks before going to the Stars he’s one player that’s been clutch and it really doesn’t surprise you that he got the game winning goal.

#3 Pavelski and Stars head coach Peter DeBoer were the crux of the Sharks back when they were in San Jose during the 2019 playoffs. It’s hard to believe that the Sharks organization let not only Pavelski and DeBoer go but they let a lot of their key players go and turned into a last place club.

#4 The Stars come in tonight down two games and know they are long odds -750 to come back and win this Western Conference. Who has the most pressure on them going into tonight Coach DeBoer, Pavelski or goaltender Jake Ottetinger.

#5 The Knights have some heavy hitters in their own right William Karlsson, Jonathan Marchessault, and Jack Eichel who can find the back end of the net can the Knights take game 6 on home ice or do you smell a miracle for Dallas?

#2 The Stars got help from Jason Robertson who scored two goals for Robertson’s first post season multi goal game in his career.

#3 Len it really seemed like the Stars were up for this game, they had to play the game of their lives and they did it without suspended Jamie Benn.

#4 The Stars got some great goaltending help from Jake Oettinger who had 37 saves and allowed just two goals. Oettinger was yanked in game 3 in the first 7:10 minutes for allowing three goals on five shots but sure turned it around on tonight.

#5 Game 5 goes back to Las Vegas Saturday night the Knights have the upper hand home ice and a 3-1 series lead how do you see the match up between the Stars and Knights at T Mobile Center?

#3 Marko, talk about the advantage of having home ice at the T Mobile Center for the Knights and quickly jumping to a two game lead going back to Dallas.

#4 Taking a look at game 3 of the Eastern Conference Finals between the Florida Panthers and the Carolina Hurricanes. The Panthers were neither intimidated or feeling under pressure opening up their series in Carolina in taking the first two games.

#5 Both wins for the Hurricanes were one goal wins and on the road now they open the next two games, games three and four on Sunrise Florida ice can the Panthers wrap this series up or can the Hurricanes turn things around and take one or maybe two games or is that a stretch and would you assume based on what’s in front of you the next two games it’s gonna take a miracle for the Hurricanes to get back into this?

The Canes and Panthers are two rough and tumble teams how do you see this match up.

#4 The Oilers seem to have trouble generating offense against the Knights which was one of the reasons why they couldn’t get past the Knights. Despite being so talent rich the Oilers are facing one of the best defenses in the NHL.

#5 The Hurricanes can be a huge factor going into what could be one of the best conference finals in recent memory. The Canes are loaded going into their match up against the Panthers with Sebastian Aho who leads with ten points and five goals, and Jordan Martinook with seven assists.
