Tkachuk Brothers Unite in Florida + Wyndham Clark Wins the US Open

Ben Ennis and Brent Gunning kick off the week by reacting to the Senators’ decision to trade Brady Tkachuk to the Panthers. They discuss the timing of the move, the return Ottawa received, and the significance of Brady joining his brother Matthew in Florida. They also examine some broader NHL issues, including the appeal of tax-free states, the challenges Canadian and smaller-market teams face in retaining players, and whether the Senators acted too quickly. The conversation then shifts to the Blue Jays’ series split featuring by a dramatic comeback win Saturday that could serve as a turning point for the season. The hosts also discuss Kevin Gausman’s rough outing Friday, Shane Bieber’s anticipated return and potential impact on the pitching staff, and Vladimir Guerrero Jr.’s performance at the plate. After the break, they recap Wyndham Clark’s U.S. Open victory, the fan reaction at Shinnecock, the role of course conditions, and Sam Burns’ struggles on the greens.
