Pete and Rob get ready for the Stanley Cup Final by previewing the Lightning-Stars series and the biggest storylines from betting and general hockey lenses. The guys discuss key matchups and stats, X-factors, each team’s adaptability, Brayden Point’s return and the potential availability of Steven Stamkos and/or Ben Bishop down the line. The guys focus on Tyler Seguin’s bounce-back appeal, whether this will be a high or low-scoring championship series and give their leanings for Game 1 on Saturday and picks for which team will hoist the Cup. They also give shoutouts to some friends of the show who predicted this Cup Final matchup last October.
