Plus, the journey of Jack Eichel: His recovery from neck surgery, to being a key factor in the Golden Knights win.  Ray provides a player perspective on just how hard it is to win the cup, the folklore behind the trophy itself, and what it meant to even see the cup in person for the first time.

Biron provided insight on the Stanley Cup final goalie-duel between Adin Hill and Sergei Bobrovsky, why Devon Levi's ‘embracing chaos' philosophy should provide stability in the Sabres crease, and he identifies two intriguing goalies for NHL GM's to target this off-season.

In Headlines, the guys discuss a Game 3 to remember as the Panthers secured their first-ever Stanley Cup finals victory.

Undisciplined play by the Panthers and if Paul Maurice's club can recover after a blowout Game 2 loss. Two HUGE collisions in the contest have the guys asking, Dirty or Clean?

Plus, why Mark Stone is the ‘Larry Bird of Hockey'.

Sam Bennett is an absolute MENACE to play against, and if you need evidence of that, look no further than THE HIT on Jaccob Slavin in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Final. Bennett spoke to Dregs on the monumental opportunity of advancing to the final round of the playoffs, the confidence a HOT Sergei Bobrovsky gives the Panthers, and Matthew Tkachuk's 'clutch' gene. Plus, his legendary playoff beard, and pro-golfer Brooks Koepka's 'P's' fandom. In Headlines, the guys discuss the Florida Panthers clinching a Stanley Cup finals berth, and Matthew Tkachuk's MVP calibre performance in the 3rd round.
