JD gives his thoughts following the Maple Leafs' two losses to the Panthers down in Florida over the weekend, drawing their second round series at two (00:00). Two-time Stanley Cup champion, Kris Versteeg, joins the show to break down the stars' struggles, Matthew Knies' break through as a playoff performer, the importance of matchups to create more offence, how Craig Berube should adjust to the momentum swing, and the unflappability of William Nylander (09:04). JD shares a note from Auston Matthews' first professional playoff experience in Zurich (49:51). Mike Futa, co-host of The FAN Hockey Show, jumps on with JD to continue the conversation around the Leafs, the differences between Games 3 & 4, the importance for Auston Matthews and Mitch Marner to produce offensively, Joseph Woll's ability to settle into the series, and the likelihood Max Domi receives supplemental discipline for his hit on Aleksander Barkov (51:31). Finally, JD details his time in Montreal for UFC 315, before getting into “What We Missed” (01:29:56).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.
