Will the Stanley Cup Final put Connor McDavid on the map in the US?

On today’s Monday edition of The Athletic Hockey Show, Ian and guest cohost Sean McIndoe discuss the Stanley Cup Final schedule, the misnomer that all Canadians are going to root for the Oilers, how Flames fans must feel watching the Panthers’ success, how Leafs fans feel about Zach Hyman’s success, historic 50-goal scorers in the Final, and whether No. 97 can join No. 99 and No. 66 as the only players in playoff history to record 40 points. Plus, The Athletic’s NHL insider Chris Johnston joins the show to talk about whether Connor McDavid can become a US star now that he’s on the sport’s biggest stage, Zach Hyman as maybe the best free agent signing in the salary cap era, Sam Reinhart’s impending UFA status, and more, and The Athletic’s own Jesse Granger talks to the guys about the 2024 USA Hockey National Goaltending Symposium, if Sergei Bobrovsky is a Hall of Famer if he wins the Cup, the latest Stanley Cup odds, and more.
