Daren is joined by Vancouver Canucks head coach Bruce Boudreau to get the coach's perspective on the Stanley Cup Final after Game 1. Boudreau worked for the NHL Network before getting hired by the Canucks so he put back on his analyst hat to talk about the storylines surrounding the Cup Final, the matchups between the Avs and Lightning, the goaltending advantage for the Lightning and the luxury that Jon Cooper has over Jared Bednar with Vasilevskiy in net.  He explains why it's so difficult to hold a lead in the NHL these days, the one player that would concern him the most as a coach, the detailed preparation and adjustments made by each team after Game 1, and whether or not home ice advantage matters in a series like this. He also talks about the Golden Knights hiring Bruce Cassidy and the whirlwind that Cassidy is dealing with as he quickly hired after being let go by the Boston Bruins.
