Bob and Steve talked to George about how he and other members of the organization were able to make that happen. The three also make some time to talk about present-day hockey and discuss the Knights' season opener and the teams' use of LTIR today before the end of the podcast.

This week Gary Lawless sits down with Golden Knights head coach Bruce Cassidy and President of Hockey Operations George McPhee as they recount the team's visit to West Point, where VGK owner Bill Foley graduated in 1967. Hear how the trip impacted the team, the history of the institution, and how West Point has been integrated with the Knights from the beginning. 

It's Bob, John, and George McPhee on the show today as we take a look at the NHL's New Year's Day Outdoor Game between George's Vegas Golden Knights and the Seattle Kraken. We get some behind-the-scenes looks at the game and get George's opinion on Outdoor Games in general before we shift gears to how the Golden Knights have been playing lately after a strong start to the season. We also engage in conversations with George about the growth of hockey in Vegas and get his take on the idea of the NHL adding an 'in-Season Tournament' similar to what the NBA did this year.

According to an interview on TVA, a French TV network, Jonathan Marchessault said there were often disagreements and a couple of shouting matches on the bench with head coach Bruce Cassidy. The Conn Smythe winner said "It hasn't always been sunshine and rainbows between us.' Marchessault added that they yelled at each other on the bench during games, during the playoffs. "But I think he wanted the best of me and we managed to be able to work together," according to the Original Misfit. We talked about a game in which we saw Cassidy bench Marchessault for a period or so against the Seattle Kraken. Marchessault also said there have yet to be discussions for a new contract with VGK - as his expires at the end of next season. Also on this episode: George McPhee says he feels VGK can repeat as Stanley Cup Champions with nearly everyone back. And, we break down the Penguins trade to pickup Erik Karlsson on Sunday. The Pens have won the off-season so far. FANDUEL DISCLAIMER: 21+ in select states. First online real money wager only. Bonus issued as nonwithdrawable free bets that expires in 14 days.

We talk about Saturday's Stanley Cup victory parade and especially William Karlsson's drunken profanity laced rant. Thousands of fans lined the Strip at the championship parade, which ended with a rally at Toshiba Plaza. The star of the show was William Karlsson who talked about waiting "six long years" for Jonathan Marchessault to win MVP. A shirtless Karlsson talked about beating Arizona in the first game and how he was "pretty great" in year one. Among our other highlights Bruce Cassidy starting the Back-to-Back chant. Adin Hill paid homage to the 1990 UNLV Runnin' Rebels national championship team by donning a Larry Johnson jersey.

The Vegas Golden Knights are the 2022-23 Stanley Cup champions and while Sin City celebrates, JPat and Wadden wonder if the Vancouver Canucks are even in the same league as the Golden Knights, after watching how dominating VGK was in the cup final, getting contributions from everyone in what has to be considered one of the deepest lineups in NHL history. The boys bat around how far off the Canucks are from Vegas, but also praise how George McPhee and Kelly McCrimmon built that team.  Scott Rintoul joins the pod to tell us about his 9-part documentary series Unreel: West Coast Express.

I am often asked what the best part was of announcing in the NBA for 32 years. I always answer the same way. Friendships and the people you meet along the journey. On today's episode I talk about 24 hours beginning last night with Denver's title against the Heat and what may be a championship for the Vegas Golden Knights tonight! I am thrilled for Michael Malone and share some stories of when he was coaching in Sacramento. Tonight, one of my closest friends, George McPhee has a chance to win his first Stanley Cup after being involved with the league for 41 years as both player and front office manager. George is the President of Hockey Operations for the Knights, and this is his 4th time in the finals during his long career. I talk about our friendship that began at Bowling Green State University in 1978. I share many stories over the many decades and seeing him hoist the Cup will be beyond words for me. 24 hours and so happy for the people who I've met along the way! Learn more about your ad choices.

Before moving to Vegas to cover the Golden Knights in their inaugural 2017 season, Gary Lawless was part of TSN's Winnipeg Jets coverage. Lawless spoke on his experience covering the Golden Knights, the ‘nothing expires in the fridge' cap approach of George McPhee & Kelly McCrimmon, and the perfect Game 6 win over the Stars that clinched the team's 2nd appearance in the Stanley Cup Final. Plus, why Mark Stone is the ‘Larry Bird of Hockey'. In Headlines, the Maple Leafs presumed hire of ex-Flames GM Brad Treliving leads things off, the guys examine what decisions are at the forefront of Treliving's to-do list, and Ray explains why Mitch Marner should be a lot higher on the list than people think. Head Coach vacancies are being filled around the NHL as Ray's former line-mate Andrew Brunette was announced as the new Preds bench-boss. Ray discusses what Brunette brings to the teams he coaches and the first major decision by Barry Trotz. Trotz' former team, the Washington Capitals, announced Spencer Carbery as their new HC; the guys look at the job ahead for one of the most coveted coaching candidates this year. Plus, the ongoing search for the new Calgary Flames HC, Gerard Gallant's name emerging, and why Darryl Sutter's contract might play a factor. With the BIG DANCE just a few days away, the guys preview the Stanley Cup Final between the Florida Panthers and Vegas Golden Knights, the battle for which team will capture their first-ever championship, and the key factors of the matchup.  Kris Abbott joins the pod and talks the MYRIAD of options to bet the finals on Betano.ca. The over/under on OT games, Panthers players favoured for the Conn Smythe, and the Golden Knights slight edge to win are discussed. Plus, Stanley Cup picks, and the quick but close series that Ray expects.   Follow us here!

We spend some time talking to George about the leagues scheduling format and get his opinion on the importance of developing divisional rivalries throughout the leage before digging into some trade deadline talk as the discuss George's plans leading up to the March 3rd deadline.

We dug up a 2003 story from the Washington Post on the firing of Bruce Cassidy. He was a young and inexperienced coach, and George McPhee gambled on Cassidy, who was fired after just 15 months with the Washington Capitals. Cassidy has obviously grown a lot since then, having made the playoffs in Boston in each of his six years there and winning the Jack Adams award in the 2019-20 season as the best head coach in the league. We also talked about the VGK odds to win the Stanley Cup in 2023. And, three players were drafted ahead of Colorado's Cale Makar three years ago - one was Nolan Patrick, who probably won't play again for the Golden Knights. Learn more about your ad choices.
