Around the NHL with Elliotte Friedman: Sin City Silent Treatment

Matt Marchese and Mike Futa begin with a look back on Montreal's pivotal victory in Game 5 over Buffalo and Mitch Marner's continued playoff excellence as the Golden Knights marched onto the Western Conference Finals. Elliotte Friedman, Sportsnet NHL insider and host of 32 Thoughts, joins the conversation to discuss John Tortorella declining to speak to media following the win, if it's related to Brayden McNabb's one-game suspension served last night, the impact of Mark Stone's injury, and how they match up with the Avalanche. The boys also break down what's ahead for the Ducks this summer with a potentially thin off-season trade market. Friedge wraps up with thoughts on the deciding moment in the Sabres' loss last night, Ivan Demidov finally breaking through, Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen’s difficult night in goal, and expectations for Saturday’s Game 6.
