Matthew Barnaby on Leafs-Panthers Edges + Blue Jays Optimism and the Best Debuts w/ Ben Ennis

JD and Ben Ennis, co-host of The FAN Morning Show, dive into the positives of the Blue Jays' start to the 2025 season including Andrés Giménez' surprising offensive output, Bo Bichette's return to form, and the strength of the bullpen, before getting into how the offence will look going forward, how the fifth starter spot should be managed with Max Scherzer on the shelf, and Giménez' spot amongst the best starts as a Blue Jay (00:00). Later, they shift to the Leafs, and the importance of winning the Atlantic Division to having playoff success (44:20). Then, former NHL forward Matthew Barnaby jumps on to discuss his new podcast The Blue Line, and continue the conversation around the Leafs ahead of their latest matchup with the Panthers, who has the edge if they meet in the playoffs, Anthony Stolarz' struggles against his former team, the effect Brad Marchand can have in Florida, and the prospects of a Battle of Ontario first round series (52:46). Finally, JD and the producers take a look at “What We Missed” (01:29:38).
