today we are pumped to share part 1 of our 2 part conversation between Matt Robinson and Julian McKenzie of The Athletic as we discuss the vibes around his hometown of Montreal as the Canadiens go deep in to the NHL Playoffs, whether the idea of cheering for the last Canadian team standing in the Stanley Cup Playoffs is valid, feedback on Julian's book Black Aces, great stories from his book tour and signings and lots more.

There's plenty more to discuss with Julian surrounding the season that he just finished covering for the Ottawa Senators so we'll have part 2 of our chat dropping for you on the Thursday edition of TCA.
