We welcome back Louis DeBrusque from NHL Hockey on Rogers. Louis, how you doing? Doing well today, Bob. How are you? Doing all right. Interesting stuff on Darnell out there. We'll get to that in a second. Pretty good game one of the Stanley Cup final, wasn't it?
You know what? Exciting game. Two really good teams going at it. And rightfully so. Two teams that have worked their way to have an opportunity in the final. And, you know, what a start for Carolina with Ehlers coming out scoring the first two goals. But as the Vegas Golden Knights have done throughout these playoffs, patient, poised, little conversation by John Tortorella seemed to settle things down. And this is a veteran team that there's no question playing their best hockey. Best hockey in years. Vegas Golden Knights right now, and they couldn't peak at a better time.
You know, it's interesting, Louie. You know, you did the series last year between Edmonton and Vegas with Jack, and Cam and me were on the radio side. And before that series started, I remember going on Spittin' Chicklets with Gary Lawless and, you know, was... You know, I think it was fair to say that Vegas was the favorite in that series, especially since Calvin Pickard started that series in goal and Stuart Skinner kind of lost the crease a bit. Then Pickard gets hurt in the game two overtime game that Drysaddle finished off in the setup for McDavid. And Evans is out 2-0 right from the get-go. The owners won in five.

They have. You know what? I would say if you're looking at the two best teams run organizations in the last handful of years would be the florida panthers and the vegas golden knights i don't think he can really argue it um george mcphee to start with um you know obviously when when vegas came in as a as an expansion team they kind of wrote the book on kind of what they wanted to do in that regard as far as the type of players they had the picks they acquired they used those picks to make changes immediately if they had to they didn't uh you know, they didn't sit on their hands. That's the one thing about the Vegas Golden Knights. Kelly McCrimmon, once he took over as a general manager, same thing.
I mean, if they needed something, they went out and got it. And this year was no different. You know, you look at the players they brought in from Nashville, just from Nashville, Cole Smith, especially, and then Colton Sissons. I mean, two very veteran players that, you know, come in. I mean, obviously Sissons has been around for a lot longer, but you know exactly what you're going to get from those players. They know exactly what their roles are. And similarly,
