On hour two of Flames Talk, Pat Steinberg and Logan Gordon react to Sweden’s round robin finale at the World Championship and bring you Mikael Backlund’s conversation with Aaron Vickers. Backlund weighs in on Sweden’s performance and his season with the Flames, while Pat makes the case that, even at 35, Backlund remains one of Calgary’s most reliable and effective two-way players.

(29:24) The guys then dive into the fallout in Toronto after another early playoff exit for the Maple Leafs. Is this really the end of the core group? What happens with Mitch Marner and Auston Matthews? Pat and Logan also tee up the Conference Finals with their thoughts and predictions.
