The Masters was just too good not to talk about it so we brought in Golf Pro Jonathan Gee to discuss Rory's amazing win and the incredible last round of this year's Masters. We then discussed all the latest hockey news including Rogers' new TV deal and what it will cost to go to Leafs playoff games. Plus we have a guess at this year's trophy races.
