Ben Ennis and Brent Gunning wrap up the morning by chatting with NHL insider Frank Seravalli about the Stanley Cup Finals media day and the ongoing buzz around the Toronto Maple Leafs. They discuss the comments from Kelly McCrimmon and Kent Hughes, the Leafs' defensive stance, and what a Vegas victory would mean. They also touch on David Carle and the Leafs' coaching search, exploring potential candidates like Jay Woodcroft and the current status of in-person interviews. After the break, they speak with Canada Basketball's general manager (24:49) about the excitement of announcing the new roster, the significance of head coach Gord Herbert's experience, and the importance of Shai Gilgeous-Alexander for the upcoming summer.
