"I'm getting all choked up."
The Vegas Golden Knights are returning to the Stanley Cup Final for the third time in their nine-year franchise history, despite Mike Ryan guaranteeing before the series that the Colorado Avalanche would win the Stanley Cup. Is that a worse mistake than Dan saying Sandy Alcantara is unhittable? Plus, a Greg Cote cough for the ages, more Giannis-to-Miami trade rumors, Jason Williams going after his alma mater, and Greg Cote's eulogy of Manny "lovingly called 'Taco'" Fernandez.
Today's Cast: Dan, Zaslow, Greg, Chris, JuJu, Mike, Trysta
