About this episode

JD Bunkis discusses sports topics including the Blue Jays' performance and the Stanley Cup Final with guest Ray Ferraro.

JD tips off the show with his thoughts on the Blue Jays' 5-2 loss in their series opener against the Philadelphia Phillies. He breaks down the hot streak Ernie Clement is on, the poor play of George Springer, and the never-ending disappointment of Vladimir Guerrero Jr. JD and Ray Ferraro, NHL analyst for Sportsnet and ESPN, discuss the incredibly exciting ride that the Stanley Cup Final has been, a potential goalie decision for Carolina ahead of Game 4, the Mitch Marner saga, and the impact leaving Toronto has had on him. They wrap things up with NHL Combine chatter, as Ray shares his opinion on who the Leafs should take with the No. 1 pick. After the break, JD shares his thoughts on Game 3 of the NBA Finals, Victor Wembanyama's ability to wreck the game, and the pressure the Knicks now face ahead of Game 4.
