John Buccigross, NHL play-by-play announcer and studio host for ESPN, joins the show to discuss John Tavares’ struggles so far against Tampa, the pressure on Auston Matthews to elevate his game, the Lightning's championship acumen, and the value of having a type-A personality in the dressing room. Afterwards, JD, Blake and Ailish sift through some more texts from listeners. Later, the team tees up the betting lines for tonight’s Blue Jays-Yankees matchup and Game 5 between the Leafs and Lightning. They also assemble their daily Wake and Rake parlay (25:01)!
