Episode 99 - Stanley Cup Playoffs Conference Finals Preview - May 19, 2026

Outplayed or not, the Montreal Canadiens took the last seat at the Conference Finals table with an overtime win in Buffalo and keeping the dream alive for the first Canadian team to win a Stanley Cup in 33 years.

Neil and Vic once again welcome in TSN Analyst Craig Button to go over that seventh game and and look ahead to both the Canadiens-Hurricanes series as well as the Western Final pitting Colorado and Vegas.

IN THIS EPISODE:

[01:23] - Recapping Canadiens-Sabres Game 7. Discussion expands to Alex Tuch as a pending UFA and a similar goal which knocked out the Sabres in the second round 25 years ago.

[09:57] - Carolina vs. Montreal

[17:40] - Craig weighs in about the perception of the Vegas Golden Knights. Despite their media violation following the second round clincher and other things that didn't break any rules yet drew some ire within the public, it is fair to a franchise that has been successful since their first game in 2017?

[19:55] - Colorado vs. Vegas

[29:23] - The current standings of the "Expert" picks.

[31:08] - Closing segment including Conference Final TV schedule.
