    This week on Enjoying Orange Slices with Jeff & Ian 🍊🏒 It's Round 2, the league feels wide open, and Bagg is back with Sharps for a wildly entertaining tour through the biggest storylines—starting with Toronto's latest self-inflicted boardroom circus, then bouncing through Montreal's "find-a-way" run, Carolina's relentless pressure, Vegas vs Anaheim, and what Edmonton has to fix right now with McDavid and Draisaitl basically putting the organization on notice. In This Episode: Toronto talk: "steady into the storm," the press conference disaster, and why the new direction feels like it came without a shield Matt Sundin as the bridge: the role, the expectations, and what Toronto actually needs right now Montreal vs Tampa recap: how the Habs won with almost no shots, the "Hagel stop" debate, and why pace matters more than ever Montreal vs Buffalo preview: size, mobility, goaltending, and what Buffalo brings that Tampa didn't Philly vs Carolina: why the Canes are a one-of-one matchup, and what Philly has to do at home to make it a series Anaheim in person: why the Ducks look like a future Pacific monster (and the young pieces that jumped off the ice) Vegas spotlight: why Mitch Marner looks freer and how his vision is starting to click in a new system Edmonton's offseason crossroads: coach/roster dominoes, cap reality, and the "slow down to speed up" idea Colorado vs Minnesota: 15 goals, no safe leads, and why the sport's speed is at a different level now Playoff pool updates + Emmy's Ferrari segment (periwinkle blue or nothing) 🏎️ Shoutouts: Ted + family in Boulder City, and the Axelsons in Terrace for being elite community people ❤️ ⚠️ Content note: some strong language.
