Bruce Cassidy wants his name on the Stanley Cup, Calgary Flames implode vs Chicago & is Matthew Tkachuk a Hart Trophy candidate?

On the Wednesday roundtable, Rob Pizzo, Jesse Granger and Mike Russo look back on a busy week in the hockey world, as the playoff picture becomes clearer and the regular season winds down. The guys talk about Calgary losing to Chicago in a must win game, the overachieving Nashville Predators and how Florida, led by Matthew Tkachuk have vaulted past Pittsburgh and the NY Islanders in the East wild card race. Bruce Cassidy, the head coach of the Vegas Golden Knights joins Jesse Granger and Michael Russo to discuss how Vegas is 'enjoying the moment', qualifying for the playoffs after missing out last season. Coach Cassidy talks about the Knights winning games with mostly backup and journeyman goaltenders, the loss of Captain Mark Stone to injury, the maturation of Jack Eichel, playoff bound for the first time, and how his Bruins team loss to the St. Louis Blues in the final in 2019, continues to motivate him to get his name on the Stanley Cup.
