Welcome to our 139th edition of the pod! We continue with Kouleas and Button all over the Stanley Cup Final as the series shifted to Florida for game 3 Thursday between the Vegas Golden Knights and Panthers.

Florida now trails 2-1 in the best-of-7 series as the Cardiac Cats stay alive coming back from a 2-1 deficit to win 3-2 in overtime!

Continuing to come up clutch for the cats: Matthew Tkachuk with a late tying goal, Carter Verhaeghe OT GWG and Sergei Bobrovsky who made 25-saves (5:00 )

• How we got here/What happens next? (7:27 )
• Officiating + calls in game 3?(15:49 )
• Looking ahead to Game 4 (20:22 )

* The late rally allowed the Panthers to claim their first-ever win in the Stanley Cup Final, doing so in the first such contest played at FLA Live Arena. It came exactly 27 years after the state of Florida hosted the Final for the first time (Game 3 of 1996 SCF was played at Miami Arena).

......

In the Silly Season Department (23:47 ) we share our thoughts on Damon Severson traded to the Columbus Blue Jackets by the New Jersey Devils on Friday after signing an eight-year, $50 million contract. As part of the trade the Devils received a 3rd-round pick in the 2023 NHL Draft.

• What do we make of the money and term?
• What is the plan for the NJD summer?
• CBJ decisions and plan for playoffs?
