Welcome to Daily Faceoff Live!
The Vegas Golden Knights have struck first in the Stanley Cup Final.
After falling behind early, Vegas stormed back to take Game 1 on the road, becoming the first team to overcome a multi-goal deficit and win the series opener. We break down the comeback, key performances from Nikolaj Ehlers and Tomas Hertl, Shea Theodore's bounce-back effort, and the turning points that helped the Golden Knights take a 1-0 series lead.
We also play The % Game and debate:
The chances this ends up being the highest-scoring game of the Stanley Cup Final
Whether Mitch Marner could emerge as the Conn Smythe favorite if Vegas goes on to win the Cup
Reactions to the NHL's new All-Star Weekend format
The possibility of Russia returning for the World Cup of Hockey
Why the NHL is not currently pursuing expansion
Later, Max Bultman joins the show to discuss the Detroit Red Wings and take a closer look at the Yzerplan. Has Steve Yzerman made meaningful progress in Detroit, and what comes next for the Red Wings as they try to become a Stanley Cup contender?
