Catch up on what you missed in the latest episode of “The Swing.” Another busy week in the sports world as Brandon congratulates the newly crowned champions in the NHL & NBA. He explains how the Panthers overpowered the Oilers for the 2nd straight year en route to their 2nd straight Stanley Cup. He then gives a quick recap on a Game 7 Finals win for OKC and a hell of a year for their star man and Canadian, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander.

Then, we get the latest coverage on the Canadian Men’s National Team at the Gold Cup from Author/Writer at canadiansoccerdaily.com & walkingthered.com, Thomas Hewitt. Thomas gives his thoughts on what he describes as a “lacklustre” performance in a draw against Curaçao. He also explains why this Gold Cup is so important for Jesse March’s squad ahead of co-hosting the World Cup in 2026.

As always, you get your “Bets of the Week.” After that, a good friend of the show, Writer & Podcaster at the FanSided Network, Mike Luciano, joins the show to speak about the new NBA Champions, the Oklahoma City Thunder and why he thinks OKC isn’t going anywhere. Mike also gives his opinion on the massive trade that broke ahead of Game 7 with Kevin Durant heading to Houston, and why this will instantly make the Rockets better.
