Jeff kicks off the Wake Up Hour by questioning whether Giancarlo Stanton news is actually local news or not. The Blues had a little bit of a different look at practice yesterday and it might be a welcome respite from how things have been over the last few weeks. A large part of the Wake Up Hour focuses on Alex Ovechkin's creation of "PutinTeam," and a conversation about how that's likely to be perceived in both the US and abroad. A major Russian player is in St. Louis and it could be a major story. Are we allowed to be excited about the new Royal Wedding? Probably.
