Leafs End of Season Storylines with Jason Bukala + Vladdy's Leadership

Ben Ennis and Brent Gunning open the second hour by discussing Vladimir Guerrero Jr.’s growing leadership role with the Blue Jays. They chat about Vlad's slow start to the season and how much responsibility he carries for the team’s early struggles, before debating the extended pitching warmup time granted for Shohei Ohtani. Is it fair? The boys also get into Ron Francis' potential fit in Toronto, the celebrity presence at Augusta, and how it changes the atmosphere at The Masters. After the break, Sportsnet NHL analyst Jason Bukala (27:41) joins to break down the Leafs’ recent performance, what to expect down the stretch, and the depth players that stood out. He also weighs in on the team’s front office structure, the influence of organizational leadership and PR, as well as the Oilers’ dominant stretch led by Connor McDavid.
