The Swing - May 5, 2025 - Blue Jays Early Season Check-In w/Tom Ruminski, Leafs-Panthers ECSF Preview w/John Viveiros

Catch up on what you missed in the latest episode of “The Swing.” The guys discuss what to expect in this Round 2 series between the Leafs and Panthers. They also get into how the Leafs can learn from their Round 1 series win over Ottawa, as well as the series loss to this same Florida team just two years ago.

Then from the ice to the diamond as we review the Jays’ below-average start to the year with Baseball News Editor at TheScore, Tom Ruminski. Tom stresses the struggles at the plate for the Blue Jays, and which Jays sluggers need to be bringing in more runs.

As always, you get your “Bets of the Week.” Following that, we get you ready for Game 1 of the Leafs and Panthers with a more in-depth preview with a good friend of the show and Host of “Hot Take Hockey” on YouTube, John Viveiros. John explains how the Leafs can overcome the defending Stanley Cup Champs. He also talks about Florida’s 5-game series win over Tampa and why the Panthers may be taking Toronto too lightly.

And lastly, in overtime, we put a bow on this Maple Leafs-Panthers preview episode with Brandon and Jacob’s predictions for the series.
