## Resource

Ben Ennis and Brent Gunning open this episode with thoughts on the Golden Knights advancing to the Western Conference Finals behind a standout postseason from Mitch Marner. The boys take a closer look at his playoff redemption story and discuss how his success outside Toronto may reshape perceptions of his time with the Maple Leafs. The guys also react to John Tortorella declining to speak to the media after his team clinched a conference finals berth. Ben and Brent then break down the Canadiens dominating Game 5 victory over the Sabres, before debating if Nathan MacKinnon has surpassed Connor McDavid as the world’s best player. The hour wraps with discussion around Sidney Crosby joining Team Canada at the World Championship without being named captain, potentially signaling a changing of the guard for Hockey Canada.
