Episode Details

Dan Riccio, Lindsay Dunn, and Cabbie Richards tee up a massive Game 6 between the Toronto Raptors and Cleveland Cavaliers with Toronto's season on the line. The crew breaks down tonight's X-Factor, Brandon Ingram's availability, Donovan Mitchell potentially going nuclear, key defensive adjustments and what it’ll take for the Raptors to extend the series to a Game 7.

Plus, veteran Toronto Sun columnist Steve Simmons is stunned by the leaks coming out of the Toronto Maple Leafs President and GM search. John Chayka’s credibility as a GM is questioned (controversial tenure in Arizona), which makes the Mats Sundin part of the equation, as potential Vice President of Hockey Operations, with his pristine reputation, palatable. Chayka’s reputation in league circles needs fixing, is a priority in order for him to operate as the Maple Leafs GM. Known for his analytics background, Simmons recalls a scathing story about computers in Chayka’s office. Finally, Simmons offers players would could quickly reshape Toronto’s Defensive core and forward group, which the Maple Leafs should pursue in the off season.

Then, they shift to the Toronto Blue Jays after a brutal loss to the Minnesota Twins, diving into what went wrong, ongoing inconsistencies, and which player returning from injury will have the most impact: Alejandro Kirk, Jose Berrios and Addison Barger.
