This week, Brock and Tony go through the 'Three Stars of the Week' highlighted by Jorian Donovan's hat trick from the blueline, and the duo also discuss the Tampa Bay Lightning's lone prospect in the OHL, Roman Schmidt.

With NHL draft rankings starting to be released, the guys talk about their top five OHL draft eligibles, debating the merits of Luca Pinelli, Colby Barlow, Cal Ritchie, and Quentin Musty among others.
