JD is joined off the top by Frank Crupi, a.k.a. Hockey Illuminati, to react to the Toronto Maple Leafs advancing past the Ottawa Senators in the first round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs (00:00). They discuss the relief of moving on, Max Pacioretty's game-winning goal, contributions from up and down the lineup, the effect of Craig Berube on this team, and Anthony Stolarz' play to secure the win, before looking ahead to the second round matchup against the Panthers. Jackie Redmond from NHL on TNT and the NHL Network jumps on with the guys to recap her experience covering Game 6 in Ottawa including the impressive response by Toronto after giving up a two-goal lead (31:37). Later, former NHL forward and NHL Network analyst, Brian Boyle, joins JD to continue the conversation around the Leafs, the difference between this year and previous seasons, and how Toronto can beat Florida this time around (52:55). Finally, JD previews the Leafs-Panthers series before taking a look at “What We Missed” (01:22:11).The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the hosts and guests and do not necessarily reflect the position of Rogers Sports & Media or any affiliates.
