Mike Commodore, former NHL defenceman, 2006 Stanley Cup champion, and current hockey analyst for Sportsnet 960, joins the show to discuss the unique intensity and aura that comes with playing in the Battle of Alberta, Calgary’s wild Game 1 win over Edmonton, the pressure and excitement that stems from playing in a Canadian market, and why Leafs fans should remain optimistic about the team’s future. Later, JD, Blake and Ailish tee up the betting lines for tonight’s Blue Jays-Reds game and assemble their daily Wake and Rake parlay (24:10).
