Mitch Marner is likely gone from the Maple Leafs and the team might fire head coach Sheldon Keefe as well.

Mitch Marner didn't show up. He makes too much money. I think he's gone. And I think that, that they might let the coach [Sheldon Keefe] go. I know I just went long-winded about this shit show. But they should've, I think if they're fully healthy, the whole series, they win it and now it's just gonna be a, it's gonna be a fucking gong show.

Sheldon Keefe was fired on May 9th, 2024, but Mitch Marner remained on the roster through the start of the following season.

Anthony Edwards is the next upcoming superstar in the NBA

Anthony Edwards is the next upcoming superstar in the NBA. I know we talked about superstars when it came to Jalen Brunson... Anthony Edwards is 22 years old and what he's doing through the first five games in these playoffs for him have been just outta this world.

Anthony Edwards led the Timberwolves to the Western Conference Finals in 2024 and is widely considered one of the top faces of the league.

The Michael Jordan comparisons for Anthony Edwards are not forced or crazy

He's an absolute killer. And people are throwing around the [Michael Jordan] comparison and like, it's not, it doesn't feel forced. It's not crazy.

While comparing a 22-year-old to Jordan is high praise, it remains a subjective matter of playstyle and trajectory.

The Timberwolves are clearly a better team than the Lakers, debunking the idea that the Lakers were the Nuggets' toughest matchup.

Sadly, we have to put to bed the narrative that the Lakers gave the nuggets the best matchup. I think we can officially say... Turns out the timberwolves is a little bit better than the Lakers as a basketball team. I never thought the Lakers were the second best team in the NBA. Only behind the Denver Nuggets.

The Timberwolves pushed the Nuggets to 7 games and won the series, whereas the Lakers lost in 5. Minnesota proved to be a much tougher out.

The NHL should move to a longer 3-on-3 overtime to avoid shootouts

I actually think that they should move to a longer three on three. Even if you added two extra minutes... I think would, would make a lot more games end in in in overtime as opposed to going to a shootout.

Shootouts remain a divisive topic in hockey, and many fans/players share this sentiment.

If Team USA and Canada meet in the final, it will go to overtime

I'll say that the way that the Olympics have gone so far, as far as the hockey, I think it's going to overtime. I think it's gonna be Canada, us.

The gold medal game outcome is unknown.

Hockey is on the rise and the Four Nations tournament will be a high-stakes precursor to the Olympics

Hockey's on the rise man. On the rise. Hockey's on a heater as we always say on the podcast, the last two years. And on top of that, boys we're heading into an Olympic year. With all that Four Nations... precursor to the Olympics coming up. It ain't the Olympics. We all know that. But don't act like they weren't playing for something. They were playing for pride.

This is an inherently subjective opinion about the state of the sport and the prestige of a specific tournament.
