2:05 – Starting Lineup
Canada brings home another win this morning in Moose Jaw. Saskatchewan WHL teams are not doing well in the playoffs. The Carolina Hurricanes showed the Washington Capitals why they will be a threat come the playoffs. The Toronto Maple Leafs clinched their playoff spot for this year. Is this their year?!? And Ovi Watch is down to three!
2:35 – Ben Nicholson-Smith, Sportsnet
The first game of the season for the Toronto Blue Jays was an ugly disaster. But since then, they have turned things around, including sweeping the Washington Nationals. Are the Blue Jays going to be a team that will continue to bounce back all season long?
3:05 – Matthew Cauz, TSN
We chat with TSN’s Matthew Cauz as the Toronto Maple Leafs have clinched their 9th straight playoff birth. Is this their year?!? Their former captain, Jonathan Tavares, is on fire since the 4 Nations break and that could earn him a nice new contract. Mitch Marner has earned his first 100-point season. Will he get an off-season offer from the Leafs that he can’t refuse?
