To start today’s show, JD Bunkis has to address Jacob Trouba's huge hit on Timo Meier in Game 7 between the Rangers and Devils, before turning his attention back to Leafs fans! His shares his pep talk ahead of Game 1, telling fans to keep their confidence up against the Florida Panthers because there is good reason the Leafs are now the odds-on favourite to win the Stanley Cup (00:01). To help break down this series, JD brings on Anthony Petrielli of Yahoo! Sports Canada & Maple Leafs Hotstove to discuss Toronto's strengths on the ice, where they can take advantage of the Panthers, and the biggest keys to moving on (12:32). As always, JD’s offers his best bets of the day, sponsored by Betano. On the podcast-only portion of the show, JD gives his thoughts on the Blue Jays following a tough loss to the Red Sox, and Darryl Sutter being let go as head coach of the Flames.
