Happy Friday! On the eve of the Stanley Cup Playoffs, Ben and Brent dive into the Maple Leafs’ first-round matchup against the Bruins. They discuss the Bruins’ unique goaltending deployment, their current confidence level in Ilya Samsonov, why starting on the road might benefit the Maple Leafs, Sheldon Keefe’s impending lineup decisions for Game 1, and which players could be the biggest X-factors for each team. Afterwards, Ben and Brent discuss their expectations for Yariel Rodriguez as he prepares to make his second MLB start on Friday, how John Schneider might deploy his bullpen this weekend, the sustainability of Daulton Varsho’s recent offensive surge, and if Orelvis Martinez is on the precipice of a big-league call-up (38:55).
