Description
The Stanley Cup Final brings together the Florida Panthers, who have ridden a wave of recent success to build a loyal fanbase, against the Edmonton Oilers, a team with a deep history but little success in the last decade. Those different paths are on display as the series moves to Edmonton. ESPN’s Emily Kaplan joins the show to break down the narratives on and off the ice, and opine on who will be the big movers this offseason. Plus, Front Office Sports’ David Rumsey checks in from the US Open at Pinehurst, Paramount pulls the plug on a major media deal, and Nike was denied a trademark.
