Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Kawhi Returning To The Six + Derek Van Diest (World CUP/Oilers) - June 30th, 2026 - Hour 2
Q: What have you made of Messi's performance so far?
Messi has been unreal, scoring in every game and showing he can still impact matches at the highest level; his movement and finishing are elite, and Argentina has a strong supporting cast that amplifies his impact.
NHL, World Cup, CFL Talk + Aaron Grymes (Elks) - June 26th, 2026 - Hour 2
Q: What has been the key to the Elks' early success this season?
Grymes attributes the early success to continuity on the defensive backfield, strong work from the D-line, and a culture that prioritizes finishing games and learning from past mistakes.
Around the NHL (SCF/Oilers) + Justin Dunk (CFL) - June 9th, 2026 - Hour 2
Q: What can we expect from Chad Kelly this season after missing a year?
Dunk suggests Chad Kelly is overrated and needs to prove himself as a legitimate elite quarterback, with concerns about consistency and returning from injury.
Canes Win Cup! + Tosaint Ricketts (World Cup) - June 15th, 2026 - Hour 1
Q: What needs to improve for Canada in the next game against Qatar?
Canada needs to improve their set-pieces and finishing in the final third, as well as maintain depth in the squad to manage rotations and injuries, ensuring players like Davies can be managed wisely.
Canes Win Cup! + Tosaint Ricketts (World Cup) - June 15th, 2026 - Hour 1
Q: What was your initial take on Canada's World Cup performance against Bosnia?
It was historic for Canada to earn their first World Cup point on Canadian soil, and while the result was important, the team now has to translate that moment into consistent performance, with Kyle Lahren and others improving in finishing and tactical setups.
