Daren is joined by Dallas Eakins (1:20) to talk about the Conference Finals and how the Golden Knights and Panthers have taken surprising 3-0 series leads. Eakins discusses why he'd prefer to coach teams that feature depth rather than a few star players and why Paul Maurice has had success wherever he goes. He looks at the undisciplined play by Jamie Benn and tries to explain why NHL players sometimes lose their cool even in crucial situations, such as the playoffs. Plus, thoughts on how the Golden Knights are  winning with their 3rd string goalie and what has stood out from Jack Eichel's play. He talks about what his future looks like in coaching and why he loves working in television . He says he doesn't have many superstitions, but he makes sure he has a certain type of beverage with him when he's on the bench... what is it and how did the routine begin?
