The Drop presented by @Discover is back with Phil Murphy and Greg Wyshynski as they break down the biggest stories from around the Stanley Cup Playoffs — from Winners and Losers across the league, including Toronto’s GM shake‑up, Carolina’s Beer Skates takeover, and the ongoing Gritty‑Stormy mascot chaos, to whether we’re headed toward a brand‑new Stanley Cup champion with several contenders chasing history.
