Resident thespian EverythingOShauN takes a deep dive into why Denzel considers himself a theatre actor first, before a Hollywood one.

They get into the flurry of action in the third period that saw Auston Matthews pot two goals and Mitch Marner dance around the ice to help him out - how timely was it for Craig Berube to reunite them? They discuss how you approach the coming deal for Marner, and chat about the continuing up-and-down play from Pontus Holmberg and Nick Robertson. Plus, they chat the Four Nations roster unveiling for Team Canada, including a few surprises, and do Leafs Talk Wrapped to end the show.
