Chapter 1: What historic comeback did the Carolina Hurricanes achieve in Game 3?
We're both gonna be 95 years old, quarreling at the old folks' home with the rest of the senior citizens, and we are gonna remember this night.
Welcome to 32 Thoughts, the podcast presented by your Canadian Toyota dealers and the 2026 Tacoma. It's time to Toyota. Elliot Friedman, Kyle Bukoskis, producer Christian filling in for Dom here on this edition of the show. Elliot, you and I are sitting here in the depths of T-Mobile Arena. Local time, it hasn't hit midnight yet, but it is late into Saturday evening.
I don't know if we're watching the Stanley Cup final or the NBA final through three games. It has been three games of runs back and forth, back and forth. Now, at the end of this one, game number three, I don't know if I need to go as far as saying I need a cigarette fridge, but I certainly could use a snack.
Yes, and you got one. That is a great, great segue into where I wanted to lead the pod. Before we talk about this gift of a game on Saturday night, the marvelous third performance of this Stanley Cup final, I wanted to shout out a fan by the name of Aaron. She came to the game tonight with her son, Lorenzo. And first of all, she had a sign she was carrying, Kyle.
And the sign, which also, by the way, made it on to the pregame of the broadcast, said, Stank Friedman, Vegas Raccoons want to be friends. And they had three raccoons on the front of it. And then she handed me a dairy milk and allow me to present you with the Kit Kat that Aaron and Lorenzo gave for you.
Yes. And I can't even, I'm diving into this right away.

Chapter 2: How did the Vegas Golden Knights secure their double-overtime victory?
I'm not even waiting.
So I ate the dairy milk during the game because Dave was eyeing it and he was hungry. So that did not make it to the post game. How is it good?
Excellent. This is hitting the spot. Excellent. Especially now. Thank you, Aaron.
The only thing that went slightly sideways with this, and they were lovely people, was is that Lorenzo did look at Dave and say, hi, anonymous caller.
Chapter 3: What updates are there on the Toronto Maple Leafs' coaching search?
And Dave didn't find that as funny as I did.
Chapter 4: What is the current status of the Los Angeles Kings' hiring process?
Those are two listeners that get it. Aaron Lorenzo, thank you so much. Hope you had a great time at the game here on Saturday. How cool is that?
Who didn't have a good time at this game?
Well, I mean, there was a couple, but those that certainly brought golden night sweaters left in a great mood. I don't even know where to start here, Elliot.
Let me just say this. Kyle, we get into this business and you hope for nights like this.
Chapter 5: What insights were shared about the NHL Draft Combine in Buffalo?
I said to Amber after it was over, we're about the same age. I'm a year older than Dave. That we're both going to be 95 years old, quarreling at the old folks home with the rest of the senior citizens. And we are going to remember this night. Like this is one of those nights that you will never forget as long as your career exists. This is the kind of thing that you hope you get to see a lot.
A great game, incredible comebacks. record-setting performances. Mitch Marner may have had the greatest period in Stanley Cup playoff history, in the entire history of the National Hockey League. And
Chapter 6: What are some memorable moments from the Stanley Cup final so far?
We got double overtime and you knew it was going to be a fluke goal because I don't know how you felt, Kyle, but watching that second overtime, everybody on the ice looked exhausted. Nobody could make a play. Nobody could skate more than three feet with the puck. Everybody who dressed in that game gave it everything they had.
There's no question. I mean, really, after the first period, there wasn't a ton going on. You kind of thought, all right, you need something to happen here. And then everything happened. Thank you very much to the late Bob Cole. And it was just a night where you mentioned like multiple things. Examples of history right before our eyes.
That Mitch Marner hat trick, fastest ever in Stanley Cup final history. The three goals that Carolina scored in the third to get them right back into the game. Fastest three goals scored by one team. in the history of the Stanley Cup final.
If the Hurricanes managed to come back, had they won here on Saturday night, that would have been the first time ever erasing a four-goal deficit in the third period of a Stanley Cup final. The only comparable, really, when you look at the history of the entirety of the Stanley Cup playoffs, over 100 years' worth of examples, was the miracle on Manchester.
if you're trying to find any kind of precedent. And it's funny, Elliot, so you met two Toronto fans, David and Al, from Thornhill before the game.
That's where they were from?

Chapter 7: What are the hosts' final thoughts on the episode's topics?
They were from Thornhill?
Yes.
Oh, okay. I didn't realize that.
They were from where Mitch Marner grew up. They were both wearing Mitch Marner Maple Leaf jerseys. And David had a very clever sign. I think it made the rounds on social media that... What did it say? My therapist thought this would be a good idea?
Yes. Yes.
So they were sitting up in the 200s and early in the third period, we actually went up there to interview them because Marner's having the game of his life. It was basically that third period at the start, it felt like a victory lap for Vegas. And as we're walking up there- He gets the penalty shot. Brandon Bussey stops him. And so I go over, introduce myself.
I say, hey, Elliot, you know, told told us about you guys and said that he met you. And they were very friendly and like they're in support of a Mitch. Like they still love the Leafs, but they are big Mitch Marner fans. And so I said, would you mind in a little bit here to do a quick interview with us? And they were like, no problem. And then it was 4-1.
Like as we're waiting there, we're just waiting for a commercial break. It's 4-1, 4-2, 4-3. And I'm like, oh my gosh. I'm sorry. That's fantastic. We're going to have to put this one on hold here for now, gentlemen, because the complexion of the game completely changed. So that was how my third period went.
That's hilarious. I didn't know you were waiting up there to talk to those guys and it got blown up by the three goals. Oh, that is so funny. You know, I have to say this. So the game, the whole, like Marner, when he had the penalty shot at the beginning of the third period, everybody in that building thought he was going to score.
