JD starts the show giving the Maple Leafs props for winning a big game against the Florida Panthers (00:00). Kris Versteeg, two-time Stanley Cup champion, breaks down the importance of Mitch Marner's clutch moment, trending positively at the right time, Bobby McMann's impact on the Leafs' second line, if this the best version of William Nylander, John Tavares aging like wine, the locker room motivation to chase the first seed, and concerns about the third line (8:00). JD then touches on the Blue Jays sweep of the Washington Nationals (44:00), before bringing on Sportsnet hockey analyst, Jason Bukala (50:00). Bukala discusses the pressure on the Leafs, the injury-riddled Panthers, where the Leafs have an edge on the Panthers, special teams margins, and takeaways for the playoffs (1:26:00).
