July 4, 2024 - 5:04 PM ET

Follow me on Twitter Follow @TheJeremyLaura Worth a watch if you have the time. The biggest question mark has been Berggren. I’d heard and passed on rumors of a separation. He was big for GR in the first round of the playoffs owning all 3 game winners in that round. Whether things were patc...
