Ben and Blake look back at the Rays/Jays series, Alek Manoah’s struggles continue but even more surprising, the Rays were dominated by both Kikuchi and Berrios. Later, how this rivalry will only grow this season. Then, Ben takes in a Jays game with his kids and they didn’t make as much of a mess as Anthony Bass’ on an airplane. Next up, we kick off the Stanley Cup Playoffs with NHL Deputy Commissioner Bill Daly (27:02). He addresses scoring on the rise, if playoff games should be called the same as regular season, the treatment of Michael Bunting and some details from a zoom call with the coaches and GMs of the 16 playoff teams and setting the tone for how games are called and supervised. Finally, cap counting, if teams are abusing the system with the use of LTIR and ATOs and how fixing things doesn’t require additional collective bargaining.
