The Bolts face elimination, and we'll have tampabaylightning.com beat writer Chris Krenn, the great Phil Esposito, and Chris Johnston of Canada's TSN to help us get ready. We don't forget what the Rays did last night in defeating the Angels, and we chat with Bally Sports and MLB Network analyst Xavier Scruggs about that and more. Plus Pick to Click and a Look Ahead to Friday!
We ramp up the Lightning talk as Ian and Jay start off Thursday's last hour from Amalie Arena with hockey icon Phil Esposito! Then Chris Johnston from TSN in Canada stops by Ian and Jay's location to give us a Maple Leafs perspective on Game 6. We close out Thursday's show with Pick to Click and a Look Ahead to Friday.
In the second hour Thursday with Ian and Jay, the guys don't forget about baseball, talking with Bally Sports Sun and MLB Network analyst Xavier Scruggs as the Rays return home from their successful west coast trip. Then the boys bring the Halftime Heat, ask you for your best wrestler and Tampa athlete comparison, and Judge Beckles rules on Lewis Cine and pre-draft promises.
