Back to EpisodesThe Book on the Leafs with Keith Yandle + Siakam vs. DeRozan
Description
JD Bunkis kicks things off comparing the Raptors and Maple Leafs fanbases and the very different feelings surrounding both in the early weeks of the season. Sportsnet's basketball analyst Michael Grange checks in from Miami to discuss how Pascal Siakam's hot start raises the team's ceiling and where Siakam ranks in all-time Raptors history, before switching gears to go over the similarities between LeBron James and Tom Brady as both legends wind down their careers (12:34). JD then welcomes in former NHL defenseman and current holder of the NHL's Ironman streak, Keith Yandle (51:31)! He shares how he feels with Phil Kessel en route to surpassing his consecutive games record and how much pride he took in not missing a game, before looking into how opposing teams approach the Leafs and how the Buds can counter it. Later on, the guys look ahead to this week's most intriguing betting lines, presented by DraftKings (1:10:23), before sorting through the biggest stories they missed today including Carey Price, the Yankees' Game 4 prep, and Serena Williams' statement.
