Are the Canadiens the team of destiny? And talking Vegas w/Jesse Granger
On today's episode of the Cross-Check NHL Show, co-host Mary Clarke is still on vacation, so Locked On Canadiens host Laura Saba joins Andrew Berkshire to break down the biggest stories in hockey. Speaking of big stories, the Montreal Canadiens have gone from the 18th-best regular season record to the Stanley Cup favourites? What? How? Laura and Andrew break down the keys to their shocking Game Five win against the Vegas Golden Knights, including the trifecta of their young guns in Nick Suzuki, Jesperi Kotkaniemi, and Cole Caufield all having big games, and the absolute force that Corey Perry has been on and off the ice. After looking at the Montreal side of the equation, the hosts welcome Jesse Granger from The Athletic to explain how Vegas found themselves in this situation, the goaltending carousel that we've seen in the playoffs, why the Golden Knights' forwards have been so silent offensively, and whether Max Pacioretty can be the answer. We also ask Jesse why Mark Stone has been so neutralized, and whether DeBoer might be in trouble due to his lack of adjustments. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
