We're in conversation with Craig Wyshynski from ESPN here on Canucks Talk Sportsnet 650.

And, you know, Wish, one thing we do around the NHL after the Stanley Cup champion is crowned at the end of every year is we look for what is the rest of the league going to be aping and taking away from that win.

And one of the things I found fascinating about this series is in Vegas and Carolina, you have probably the two most...

distinct in some ways teams in terms of how they go about their business building their team right like Vegas's mo and hyper aggression I think stands apart from the rest of the NHL since they've entered the league Carolina we know with Eric Tulsky and even up to the ownership level and you know the style that Rod Brindamore has them playing very unique as well I don't want to get ahead of myself but if it is Carolina if they find a way to get it done in the next two games what do you think the rest of the NHL will choose to learn or take away from a

a Carolina hurricane Stanley cup victory.

A couple of non Stanley cup questions that I want to chat with you about wish here.

And of course the big story, other than the Stanley cup this week in the NHL was the Mike Babcock story or whatever you want to call it debacle.

I don't know if the Edmonton Oilers potentially trying to hire Mike Babcock.

Of course, the NHL PA wants an investigation into whatever happened in Columbus when he didn't even make it to training camp with the team.

Frank Cervelli has reported there's,

Significant details that or complaints levied against Mike Babcock from his time in Columbus that were never made public.

And those could be much more relevant than the stuff about going through the phone.

I mean, it's kind of wild coming off the heels of trying to talk to Bruce Cassidy, not being given permission, firing their coach.

And now they're even in an even more bizarre situation with a potential head coaching candidate.

What do you make of Edmonton's decision to go down this road?

What's unfolded since then?

And and where do you think we're headed with this story?

It just seems like pouring gasoline on a fire in some ways, right?

Like you've already got the looming storyline of Connor McDavid and his potential free agency or, or choosing to leave Edmonton.

And if there's one thing with Mike Babcock and again, leaving aside any of the sort of like ethical considerations, um,
