Description
Nick Kypreos, Justin Bourne and Sam McKee begin with a post-mortem on the Blue Jays season. Are there similarities between John Schneider and Sheldon Keefe in terms of decision-making autonomy and which player in the core four most resembles Vladimir Guerrero Jr.? Next, the guys get into preseason talk. How much can you read into the results and performances so far and how impressed have they been by Fraser Minten and Easton Cowan? Looking ahead to the season, the guys discuss what is making them hopeful. Will making it past round one last year impact the Maple Leafs' mindset moving forward, how will Max Domi, Ryan Reaves and the new additions fit in with the group, and should we be concerned with the Leafs' depth on the blueline? The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the hosts and guests and do not necessarily reflect the position of Rogers Sports & Media or any affiliates.
