What happened in Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Final between the Hurricanes and Golden Knights?
What do you think of the way he's dressed? Would he fit in around here? He's looking a little rural for us.
Welcome to 32 Thoughts, the podcast presented by your Canadian Toyota dealers and the 2026 Tacoma. Get yours before red tag days are over. Happy Friday. Tom, Elliot and Kyle back with you. As the late Bob Cole would say, and the series is a brand new one. All squared. through two games of this Stanley Cup final as we now head out to Vegas for games three and four. It was Taylor Hall who said on the off day, things can change on a dime at this time of year. It looked like the machine that is the Vegas Golden Knights was going to roll on through to not one, but two wins. Victories on the road and absolutely grab hold of this Stanley Cup final almost as soon as it got underway. But, Elliot, what did Jordan Stahl say in the aftermath about the Vegas Golden Knights?
They're human. Yes, they are human. Because Carolina, you could certainly see it on their faces at certain points through the first, I don't know what, 50 minutes of that game, that they looked like they were facing a team that maybe was inhuman. No matter what they tried, they could not find an answer.
When I was watching you do that interview with Jordan Stahl, I was actually wondering if... Stahl initially was trying to tell us the hurricanes believe they were another species, the Golden Knights. They were not human.
I don't even know where you come up with half of those.
What are the implications of Dylan Larkin's trade request from the Detroit Red Wings?
But, you know, and the reason why I think it was relevant and certainly noteworthy for Stahl to say, say that line that they are human because, I mean, hey, we're certainly wishing all the best for Braden McDowell. I mean, that was horrifying. The shot that caught him up high there off Nikolai Ehlers had really no chance of getting out of the way. But he leaves the game in the first period, Vegas down to five defense, and it was looking very much like one of the all-time great defensive clinics possible. by Vegas on the road, no less, really, up until Logan Stankhoven, an incredible individual effort to... Get the first goal to change the feeling in the building and ultimately, you know, flip this game on its head.
It was a clinic. There was not much going on there. I mean, first of all, it turned out to be a great finish and everybody left saying what a great game and what a great series it is after two games. We had an incredibly entertaining game one and we had an incredibly entertaining last 15 minutes of game two and And, you know, honestly, it's better for the Stanley Cup final and the overall quality of entertainment that Carolina won this game. Vegas goes up 2-0. I think people are starting to check out of the series, to be perfectly honest, Kyle. So there were a couple of things that really changed this game, Kyle.
What is the future of Darnell Nurse with the Edmonton Oilers?
Do you know what they were?
Well, I thought that we know Rod Brindamore loves to stick with his lines. He continues to trust the game plan, but he did make some changes.
What updates are there on the coaching searches for LA and Toronto?
And I felt that helped spark Carolina a little bit. Seth Jarvis alluded to as much in the postgame. And I don't know. I mean, maybe this is a little one here, but I'm looking at, you know, Stankoven just before his goal, he actually gets waved out of the faceoff. And does that set him up? in the end, in a better position to go track down Rasmus Andersen behind the net to then win the battle, to then get the puck back, and that leads to the first goal for the Hurricanes. Those are two that come to mind for me.
So you're right.
What is the significance of the Barrie Colts sale in the OHL?
Both of those things are right, but those are not the answers I was looking for. The answer I was looking for was the tarps off and Bonnie Tyler.
What were the highlights of the NHL Awards announced recently?
So about 10 minutes to go before Carolina starts the comeback, they ask for tarps off in the crowd and people start. There were a lot of people in that crowd who took their shirts off. I was surprised at how many people jumped into this with two feet. Now, I will say this. I'm going to make a bit of a public service announcement. Some of you in Carolina, when you take your shirts off, you have to make sure that your pants are pulled up because there were some close scenes with people sitting right behind them.
