JD reacts to the Toronto Maple Leafs losing 6-1 on home ice to the Florida Panthers in Game 7 (00:00). He's joined by James Mirtle of The Athletic (11:40) to digest the failures of the "Shanaplan", where blame lies for the growing toxicity in hockey's biggest market, the likelihood of Mitch Marner and John Tavares' tenures in Toronto coming to a close, and the potential for organizational changes coming beyond the "Core Four". Afterwards, JD digs deeper into the Leafs' disappointment with two-time Stanley Cup champion, Kris Versteeg (54:05). Together, they discuss Toronto's accountability culture, the responsibilities of players and management to uphold that standard, and postgame remarks from key figures on either side of the Game 7 result.
