Summary
JD previews Canada’s opening matchup against Bosnia and Herzegovina and ponders what the fan ratio might be in the home-opener. JD then talks about the Blue Jays series against the New York Yankees before. Two-time Stanley Cup champion Kris Versteeg (08:30) joins the show to react to the Stanley Cup Final, the chippiness of Game 5, what Vegas can do in Game 6 to stay alive, who needs to step up for Vegas Conn Smythe favourites, Jordan Staal turning back the clock, and the play of Brandon Bussi. The week ends with JD and Versteeg debating Dylan Larkin's list of trade destinations.
