Marchand Makes Panthers Debut + Jays' Opening Day Dejection

Justin Cuthbert and Jesse Rubinoff kick off with their thoughts on the Blue Jays' 12-2 loss to the Baltimore Orioles on Opening Day and whether or not Jays Nation should be overreacting after a morose start to the 2025 season. They shift gears to the ice with 32 Thoughts' Kyle Bukauskas (10:08), who sets the stage for Brad Marchand's Panthers debut tonight against the Utah Hockey Club and looks at the playoff picture in both conferences with 10-odd games remaining in the regular season. Later, Fox Sports MLB analyst Ben Verlander (25:45) shares his takeaways from the Jays' opener, what to expect from the AL East this season, Vladdy Jr's contract drama, why Shohei Ohtani is poised for an even bigger season than his monster 2024 campaign and who - if anyone - is stopping the Dodgers from going back-to-back.The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the hosts and guests and do not necessarily reflect the position of Rogers Sports & Media or any affiliate.
