Episode Details

Dan Riccio, Lindsay Dunn, and Cabbie Richards are back with another edition of Off The Roster, breaking down the biggest stories across Toronto sports and beyond. The crew recaps the Toronto Raptors falling behind 2-0 to the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Will Lou, host of Hello and Welcome, excoriates Brandon Ingram’s disastrous game 2 performance (who finished 3-for-15 from the field) while crediting Head Coach Darko Rajakovic for scheming ways to get Ingram quality looks. A heated discussion about DeMar DeRozan’s worse game vs Ingram’s worse game emerges, while Will emphasizes that the media cannot be to blame for either result. Scottie Barnes is being outplayed by Evan Mobley and RJ Barrett is producing on the offensive end. Will expects Jamal Shead and Sandro Mamukelashvili to step up in Game 3 on Thursday, April 21st at home.

Later, Tyler Yaremchuk stops by to tee up the NHL playoffs, discussing the biggest storylines around the league and whether Connor McDavid and the Edmonton Oilers can make a push for a third straight Stanley Cup Final appearance. Tyler unpacks the Canadiens vs Lightning series, Brady Tkachuk's performative antics and the Utah Mammoth pushing for a lengthy series against Vegas.

Plus, the crew reacts to the Toronto Blue Jays winning 5-2 in their opening game against the Los Angeles Angels and examine elite relief pitching from Dylan Cease, Louis Varland and Jeff Hoffman.
