The Panthers are the Stanley Cup champions. What exactly led to this result? Our experts analyze this final and talk, among other things, about Leon Draisaitl, who has not been seen very often. Connor McDavid, for his part, continues to stir up controversy for his decision not to compete for the Conn Smythe Trophy… Despite all this, Canadian clubs have not had a trophy since the Canadian Cup in 1993 and we try to find explanations for this situation.
In the meantime, the Canadian is preparing to move for the draft (or not), some big names may have to move to the NHL, and we come back to Jean-François Houle, who was supposed to stay in Laval before deciding to leave.
Moderator: Jérémie Rainville Guests: Richard Labbé, Simon Olivier-Lorange and Antoine Roussel

Obviously he’s the coach that won the Stanley Cup, nobody’s going to take that away from him, and I think he’s a good coach, Paul Maurice, but I don’t know to what extent he really won the Stanley Cup coaching battle in this series.
Simon-Olivier Lorange
It is against my company’s policy to award the Conn-Smythe to a player who loses in the final. […] However, he was on such a different level that we had no other choice.
Antoine Roussel
He has so many draft picks in his hand […]I think Kent Hughes has to make compromises.
