expertise time okay does carolina find a way to get back into this thing in a few minutes let me just tee up jesse granger from the athletic uh golden knights coverage does a terrific job he'll he'll join us as well and sat shaw will join us in about 35 minutes because uh a lot of news out in vancouver led by manny maholtra but uh let's tee up game one gourd
Carolina, off to that fantastic start, which had people thinking this is their year, their destined. We saw the shift in the second period of Vegas. What can we expect in the first five or ten minutes?
Well, there's no question it is rather dire if you go down 0-2. But you're talking about a team that's only lost. They've only lost two playoff games so far. So you put that in context. But... It is similar to the challenge that they realized against Montreal when they came back.
And I think, I don't know what you think, Kippy, but Rod Brindamore, it's kind of like Connor McDavid's put the Edmonton orders on notice in a big picture. When Rod Brindamore got asked the question about the line, the big, the supposed big line, the line that gets the most minutes, Ajo, Svechnikov and company and Jarvis.

Chapter 3: What are the implications of Dylan Larkin requesting a trade from the Red Wings?
kind of said, yeah, they got to start doing something. And I got to think he's putting them on notice and everyone to notice that he's not going to wait long. You know, maybe he'll try to get Nick Ehlers on that line or something. Like they got to get secondary scoring from what's supposed to be their first line to go along with the Stankoven line.
So when I say it's that simple, I don't mean it that way, but I think that's the one big thing that Carolina will look to address tonight in game number two.
Oh, here we go. Absolute must win. There's just no way around it. You can't lose two, go down. I mean, it's not obviously over, but it just feels like going back to that building. Have to win, and their top guys have to be better, like you said. And he's called them out multiple times, but you can only do it so many times.
If it's not working, I don't know what you do as a coach, but you just hope that your top-line guys can come through. Should be a good game tonight. Really good team, Carolina, up against the wall. You know, I'm looking forward to it.
Sebastian Ajo is their best player for the most part, right? At least he's the highest paid. Okay, we can go down to that blue line and certainly talk about who's more important with the likes of a Slavin. But that guy is the guy. He's the face. He's the highest paid at almost $10 million. He's locked in for probably another five, six years on a contract.
Sveshnikov doesn't appear to be going anywhere with his contract still up around 28, 29. But we did experience it for many years in Toronto when the big boys don't go. They hear it. And I don't know where you are on Montreal, but there's no question that Suzuki and Caulfield felt the noise when it wasn't going well.
But they may be in the best market for the star players having an off-season or an off-series here so far.
Well, no, you're right. You're right. Like, I mean, first of all, you're right. These guys are locked up long-term. They got a good core there. And the thing is, when they lost to Montreal, it came up that graphic, oh, they're 1-17. in their last 18 championship series game. They've been swept 4-0 twice. They lost 4-1 once. Then all of a sudden, you got that pressure again.

Chapter 4: How does John Tortorella influence the Golden Knights' strategy?
And these are the guys that are wearing it. It's not like saying the Leafs haven't won a cup since 1967. The grandparents of these guys don't wear it. These guys were wearing it. So all of a sudden, they got over that hurdle.
kippy and sammy and the next one now you're one step further down and yeah this is great you got into the final you got over that hurdle but why you hadn't gone over the hurdle in previous years those guys aren't doing it again it was the new guys stan coven and taylor hall and and blake that were doing it and the other thing i will say quickly about montreal cole caulfield uh
maybe fell on his sword a little bit too much, but there wasn't enough of that with the Toronto Maple Leafs playoff disappointment after playoff disappointment, particularly when they blew the 3-1 series to the Leafs and they talked about the process and we're just going to go back at it again.
No, that's where you could have had more of, this is unacceptable, this is untenable, we can't let this happen again.
Covering the Stanley Cup playoffs, let's welcome in Jesse Granger, Golden Knights coverage for the Athletic NHL Network, Vegas correspondent. Jesse, how are you?

Chapter 5: What factors could impact Carolina's performance in Game 2?
Yeah, we're just fighting through the traffic like the goalies in the Stanley Cup playoffs.
Exactly, exactly. So just your quick thoughts, Jesse, of... Vegas certainly has the reputation for never being out of a game and their comebacks in their third period, but just the surprise in the first few minutes of Carolina getting out of the gate and maybe eventually... it catching up to Vegas. But what did you get out of game one? That, that leads us into game two tonight.
Speaker 3 6,0 Yeah. I mean, that's what Carolina does. They will jump all over you with their four check early in the game. And they certainly did against the golden Knights. This, this golden Knights team has come back so many times this year. I've, I've said the stat before it's, they trailed more than any team in the league, except for the Vancouver Canucks this season and the Canucks.
And all those other teams at the top of that list didn't make the playoffs. And the Golden Knights are using that experience. They have gotten comfortable playing from behind. And I think it's not just the mentality of it, but they know how to play from behind. I talked to Mark Stone yesterday, and he said, it's hard.
The human nature is to try to make plays, to try to take chances, to get back into a game. And you've got to fight that urge. And the Golden Knights have done it so much that they've gotten good at it.
and fighting that urge and i think that they also just have a really high iq team that they they can process in real time in a game what is costing them and how to turn it around and you watch early in that game both of the early goals by ehlers were preceding them were risky lateral passes across the ice kind of hope place that's what players like to call them and
They both ended up in the back of their net really quickly. There's a TV timeout. John Tortorella calls him over. He didn't have any major changes to make. He said, just play our game. Let's not take chances. Let's chip the puck over their defenseman if we need to. And they just stuck with that. And they came back again. I mean, this team just keeps doing this. And it is really simple.
You just have to keep playing your game and not let that score dictate you taking more chances than you need to. Because if you do that, you can get buried real quick in a hurry.
So, Jesse, from afar, like, tell me, being close to the team, you mentioned that style of play, which really wasn't that evident for the first, what, 60 games. And it's kind of like Connor McDavid did us a favor with the pillow fight division as we said, wow, look at the central division with Minnesota, Dallas, Colorado.
