Episode Notes
In Episode 470 of The Rundown, Jason Gregor and Mike Rupp begin with a heartfelt conversation about the life and legacy of Claude Lemieux following his passing at the age of 60. The discussion goes beyond hockey, touching on mental health, life after professional sports, the challenges many men face after retirement, and why these conversations matter.
The guys then shift to the Stanley Cup Playoffs, where the Montreal Canadiens are facing elimination against the Carolina Hurricanes. What has gone wrong for Montreal, why has Carolina been so dominant, and is there any path back into the series for the Canadiens? Jason and Mike break down the matchup and what Montreal must change to extend its season.
They also discuss the Vegas Golden Knights' impressive sweep of the Colorado Avalanche, why Vegas may be the most complete team remaining, and what a potential Stanley Cup Final matchup between the Golden Knights and Hurricanes could look like.
Plus, Fill in the Blank with Pat Puff, surprising teams for next season, the future of the Golden Knights behind the bench, and which players the crew would most like to see lift the Stanley Cup this year.
