## Resource

Ben Ennis and Brent Gunning begin the second hour alongside Gord Stellick, former Maple Leafs GM and friend of the show! They discuss the Canadiens’ rapid rise to the Eastern Conference Final, what has made their rebuild successful, and how it compares to Toronto’s path over the past decade. They also examine how the flat cap may have impacted the Leafs, the long-term outlook for Montreal’s core, and whether this run could resemble the Canadiens teams of the early 1990s. The conversation then shifts to the Vegas Golden Knights’ decision to skip post-game media availability after reaching the conference finals, the league’s response, and whether the organization is gaining a competitive edge by blocking Bruce Cassidy from interviewing elsewhere. Ben and Brent close the hour by reflecting on the Leafs’ last decade.
