Episode Notes
John Shannon and Daren Millard break down the latest developments in the Stanley Cup Playoffs on 100% Hockey.
The conversation focuses on the Vegas Golden Knights’ dominant performance against the Presidents’ Trophy-winning Colorado Avalanche, including the impact of the team’s coaching change and the contributions from depth players like William Carrier and Brett Howden.
The guys also discuss Montreal’s surprising run through the Eastern Conference playoffs and what the Canadiens’ rebuild under Jeff Gorton and Kent Hughes says about patience, structure, and organizational direction.
They debate how long fanbases should realistically wait during rebuilds, and why Montreal’s process has been received differently than similar situations in Toronto, Edmonton, or Vancouver.
The episode also touches on Carolina’s position in the East, playoff momentum swings, and the ongoing debate around which remaining team could truly be considered “Canada’s team.”
A full playoff conversation as the Stanley Cup race starts to narrow.
