Mark Messier, Hockey Hall of Famer, six-time Stanley Cup champion, and current ESPN analyst, joins the show to discuss the Oilers being on the brink of a berth in the conference finals, his personal experience competing in the Battle of Alberta, Connor McDavid’s torrid playoff production and his broader influence on the sport of hockey, and what lessons the Leafs can derive from their first round playoff loss to the Tampa Bay Lightning. Later, it’s time for the Wake and Rake, presented by Unibet! JD, Blake and Ailish tee up the betting lines for tonight’s Blue Jays-Angels series opener and Game 5 between the Oilers and Flames. They also assemble their daily Wake and Rake parlay (24:20)
