Chapter 1: What is the latest update on the Stanley Cup Final between the Golden Knights and the Hurricanes?
Hour 2 Overdrive continues, powered by FanDuel, bringing you more ways to play your game your way. We're live at TPC Toronto, the RBC Canadian Open. Here all week, we got First Up was here this morning, right? Golf Talk Canada was here all day. Carlo and AK be just... They were absolutely on fire this morning, and they'll be here throughout the week. We're going to be here tomorrow, right?
I'm in the Pro-Am tomorrow, again, the annual event.
Are you nervous? Are you nervous?
I'm nervous about the first shot. That's what I'm always nervous about. I need to get it off the ground.
No, dude. In the air. It's not the driver. Because the driver, the tea goes in the ground. It's airborne. You sweep it. What I want for you... is a short-sided tight-lie lob shot around the green early.
Okay. I worry about that because that's where you can take a pro out. Dude, you saw me at St.
George's. I was 65 yards away, flat stick.
Yeah, Texas wedge, which you would never, ever do in a million years. Never.
But I want to see you with just a little sizzler shot where you're like, this could ā You know the one where you stick it in the ground and some weird stuff could happen.

Chapter 2: What does Mike Johnson think about Mike Babcock's potential future with the Oilers?
It's going to play long. You've got to hit fairways and greens, man.
He just got a flat-out hit of good. I don't think it favors a bomber. It's just a guy that can put it in the fairway and hit good iron shots. Nicky Taylor, I wouldn't be shocked if he had a great week this week.
Well, he had a great week last week, right? And if he's in the hunt, you know Nick Taylor's a guy that can close. So I expect a lot of Canadian content, certainly throughout the week. So more on that as we get cooking. We're going to get to our picks, right? We'll do that tomorrow for sure.
I just had a source tell me that Corey Connors on the range didn't miss a shot for 47 minutes straight.
Really?
Watch for him. Flushing golf balls? You have sources on the range.
A high-ranking source. High-ranking. Very high-ranking.
Well, we're in Doogie's butler cabin. That's what we're calling this.
Doogie is running the whole operation, like we said. We need a jacket. We need an RBC jacket. We're going to present it to the Gatman, who's been the Lifetime Achievement Award at TSN, and we're going to give it to him in the Doogie butler cabin.

Chapter 3: How does Connor McDavid's performance impact the Oilers' coaching decisions?
You lost. It's completely irrelevant that you stormed back and tied that game.
You said yesterday, though, and I thought of this, which is completely egregious because Marner had the game of his life. If Carolina wins that game, we're talking about him missing a penalty shot.
Not clutch enough.
The guy had a hat trick in six minutes.
And not knowing that they changed the goalie.
Yeah. That's the best part. Do you think he makes that comment if they lose the game?
I think he was joking. I really do think he was joking. I think he was just tongue-in-cheek, but he might not have been.
I don't know how any offensive player could not have recognized that a different goalie... Like, that's something any offensive player says, boys, new goalie's in. Like, it's just something that's said. New goalie, new goalie. Right, how about a coach? We've... You don't think guys sit on the bench, Grant Fears out, Noodles is in? Yes, believe me.
Guys would say, yes, guys, shoot from everywhere. That's what they'd be yelling on the bench. We've got bonuses. Shoot from everywhere. But I've played with players, I don't know if you have, where I swear to God they have no idea who they're lining up against, whatever. And this is regular season where it's like, who are we playing tonight?

Chapter 4: What are the latest insights from the Confirm or Deny segment?
Absolutely. Like, now it's a consmite, which I think he locked up the other night, if Vegas wins, with a just phenomenal all-time great game. Yes. You know, that now he gets to own, and it's his. And, like, we had Koepka in, and he immediately starts needling us about Marner.
Thanks for that.
Like, the whole sports world.
First he went for Marshan. And then to Marner, he knew the right needles to get after, didn't he?
Yeah, he did. But he did throw out the first pick overall is coming to Toronto, right? Gavin McKenna.
And then he had a wry smile and saying, you guys will screw that up too.
Or it'll come around in three or four years.
That's my biggest worry for Gavin is I still want him ā Like, he's going to... I think they're picking him, so I'm just... Feels that way, but we don't know for sure. But, like, you've got to allow him to settle into the NHL. Like, this is where... You know what's going to happen. He's going to score a hat-trick in preseason against a bunch of junior players and AHL players.
And the hype around him will just continue to grow. And I just want him to be able to settle in.

Chapter 5: What are Bryan's FanDuel Best Bets for the upcoming games?
Because I took a look at that cart video, and that was something to behold. That was Jeff O'Neill at his very best going after a hoagie mid-round bid interview. It was outrageous. It was so good. Well, speaking of that, dude, go back to John.
Donnie, because you look like you're at the Mandarin right now yourself.
Where are you? I'm sitting at the top of the press box at the arena at T-Mobile. I'm in the rink. Game starts in a few hours, so I had to get here early to talk to you guys. I love it. So I'm right in the rink. I got Patty Maroon, three-time cup champ, hanging right over my shoulder. Oh, yeah. Thanks.
There he is.
Patty Maroon. Yes. We got to get a headset on that guy.
He's basically a borderline. He's a quasi-golf pro on this trip. These guys golf every single day in Carolina and Vegas. They are putting the work in on the course.
I love it, man. Well, he was a tour professional down in Tampa, I think, when you were down there a month and a half ago, two months ago.
It's the worst slice ball fade off the tee you've ever seen in your life. But it's predictable and repeatable.
It is. Greg, he knows how to operate, man. Well, we were just talking about Gavin McKenna, Johnny, and ā You know, you had some, like Joe from the Bridge was tracking how many pull-ups he was doing. Fourteen. Fourteen pull-ups. And what does that mean for the, what is it, the VO2 test? I think so. Like, he's not a big guy. 5'11", 170. That's the official, like, number. That's not a big guy.

Chapter 6: How do the hosts analyze the performance of Canadian golfers at the RBC Canadian Open?
I was expecting less. He's very thin. He's still very young. And I know they work out in college quite a bit, but I thought his numbers were good. He skipped the World Championships, presumably to prepare for that. Looked like he put in the work. And that's what you want is a guy who's going to put in the work. I was thinking, what a good cop for him, guys. The Artemi Panarin.
As far as current NHL guys, like, you know, Panarin's been a brilliant player for a really long time. Smaller guy, play-driving winger, as opposed to saying a Kucherov or Patrick Kane, but, you know, Panarin's done it more recently. I expect him, when he gets picked...
to play and be good not perfect but be good and he's going to play with better players so you know the bedard comparison i would expect him to almost look better than bedard because he won't be asked to do as much he'll be playing with better players and a better sort of infrastructure around him he'll be a good producer and he'll have moments like oh he doesn't look fast enough oh he doesn't look strong enough but he'll put up plenty of points and plenty of goals the way you'd want him to
Johnny, please tell me you agree with me, and this is kind of a little bit off topic, but I need to bring it up. I think that fitness testing is a creepazoid fest, and I think it needs to be done behind closed doors. And if you want the result, there's no reason that those guys should be doing that testing in front of people with the sawed-off shirts on. I don't like it.
It should be done in private. Why do you want, like, a petting zoo where everyone's just like, no way? Agreed?
I never thought about it, to be honest. I think there's too many eyes on that. It's professional sports, though.
Johnny, do you like it or not?
I would have hated it, but do we like the NFL Combine? Why is it different? I haven't heard you have that take about the Combine.
You anti-Combine now, too? You don't want to see linemen run the 40? It's a televised event. It does serious numbers in the States.

Chapter 7: What are the implications of the latest NBA Finals games on the series outcome?
This is the sport.
This is today's life. Everybody wants content. It's all about content.
I'm fine with it.
Go ahead, Johnny. You don't have to go. You don't have to go if you're uncomfortable. Listen, put some sleeves on them, then, O, if you want to have, not the tank tops on, but if you want to go there, they prepare for it. They're going to go play pro sports. Like, I don't know. And the good news is, O, how about this? Compromise. It's the last time they ever have to do it.
There are no more testings. There's no testing in training camp. No, they'll never have to jump on a VO2 in front of someone, yelling at them to go harder or longer or whatever, or do pull-ups or bench press or any of that stuff. It's all gone. There's no testing. So it's the last time they have to do it. I actually think the NHL doesn't do enough. We could... augment the dress code, whatever.
I wish they would do stuff on ice and we can establish a baseline. When McDavid did his blue line to blue line burst, he took him this long, he was going this fast. When Jeff O'Neill did it, it took him this long, he was going this fast. And you have a standard comparable throughout the years to maybe think, okay, is this guy a fast skater or not a fast skater?
I think that would be interesting and worthwhile to do. Do I need to see a guy do bench press with the pulleys on it?

Chapter 8: What final thoughts do the hosts share about the sports events discussed?
I don't, but I'm not anti, but I think they should probably, I think they could do a better job with it actually.
Yeah, they could. Listen, there's a lot of opportunity for content out there, right? If you want to put a camera inside the rink in Edmonton while they're talking about hiring Mike Babcock, I think a lot of people would pay for that kind of access.
I would.
Right? The idea of John Chayka throwing out ā why don't we go ā Chat with Joe Pavelski. We're going to look at a guy who's a U15 AAA coach in Wisconsin who played in Dallas and San Jose throughout his career. If you had to pay, let's say, $29.99, you could have access to the Babcock chatter or the Pavelski chatter. Which one would you pay for?
I'm paying for Babs all day long. All day long. Because it's so much spicier. I mean, Joe Pavelski is a smart guy. He's an incredible player. Lots of confidence. Bright. Been around forever. He would probably sound pretty polished. Probably pretty boring, actually. And that's why they're considering him, I guess, in a Marty St. Louis-like hire.
But the Bab Cop thing, guys, is, to me, thinking about it, and the news took this Stanley Cup final by storm yesterday. It was the first thing anyone wanted to talk about. And it's not a debate about whether he's a good coach. I think we all could sort of accept that he's a very good coach. That's not the thing. But he had to have the perfect storm of a desperate club to win.
Players that were so desperate that they would take on this personality that he's going to bring. An owner, an organization who doesn't care about if there's going to be any backlash. And I don't think Edmonton is in that spot at all. And a team maybe good enough that would warrant Mike Babcock to come out of retirement and to do it. And it all came together. I don't know, guys. Like...
If he's learned, if he's changed, does he realize the world's a different place, you can't treat people the way you once did, even if it worked back then? You guys say yes, but you probably thought he should have learned before he got the job in Columbus, instead of going through people's phones. And so, I would be curious to see and hear from him, What's different?
How are you going to be different? Can you still be as good of a coach if these tools, these sort of mind game stuff you like to do is removed from your toolbox? Can you still motivate? Can you still get the most out of guys? Have you changed? Have you learned? Does Connor like this? Seems like everyone is suggesting that the leadership, without saying Connor McDavid and Leon Drysaddle,
