Previewing Game 5 of Lightning-Rangers, disrespected fanbases, and a new bar is set for listener voicemails

With Ian Mendes on vacation, Jesse Granger is back in the host's seat as he and Sean McIndoe preview Thursday night's Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Final. Has Tampa Bay figured out the key to the playoffs? Also, standout players on both teams. And obviously with no relation to one of these teams, a chat about disrespected fanbases, and Jesse and Sean's successes in The Athletic's playoff picks thus far. Then, a new standard has been set with listener voicemails, the merits of the Mark Messier Award, and to wrap up, a look back with "This Week in Hockey History".
