  • Why have guests

    Why bother having a guest on , when you answer your own questions. Especially when you have David Staples on you treat him very poorly, and really show your self centred bully mentality

  • Content great but formatting leaves a lot to be desired.

    I’d love to see you guys reformat content a little bit to fit the podcast format. I hate opening the app and seeing 4 or more clips for the same show. It makes me want to unsubscribe because it pushes my other podcasts down. You certainly aren’t the only sports radio program doing this which makes the issue worse in my view. Y’all please get together and figure this out.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

TSN & The Athletic's Pierre LeBrun (9/30/36)
Q: Just before we get into the real nitty gritty here, obviously the start of another season here. What's kind of the biggest story line you've been watching throughout the off season?
The biggest storyline has been the explosion of salaries and the rapid evolution of the market, with contracts like Kaprizov's and others forcing teams to rethink their long-term planning and cap strategies; it's a systemic shift rather than a single player issue.
NHL Hockey on Rogers' Elliotte Friedman (9/29/26)
Q: How do you see the Hellebuck situation affecting teams this season?
Friedman explains the complexity of the trade market, the need for a goalie, and how teams like Buffalo would have preferred different assets; trade dynamics depend on who can take on salaries and fit cap space.
NHL Hockey on Rogers' Elliotte Friedman (9/29/26)
Q: What are your thoughts on the Columbus Blue Jackets–Maple Leafs trade and the players involved?
Friedman describes the deal as a wow move for the eve of the season, with Maple Leafs prioritizing a high ceiling player and the Jackets anchoring the return around assets they value, indicating the trade made strategic sense under cap considerations.
NHL Hockey on Rogers' Elliotte Friedman (9/29/26)
Q: How's the excitement going for you?
Elliotte expresses that it is one of the best days of the year as the season approaches, with anticipation about the on-air handover and the lineup for the opening game.
100% Hockey's John Shannon with Ayden Ganam & Cam Moon (9/23/26)
Q: What's your overall take on the Oilers preseason so far?
The preseason is challenging to read due to roster parity and limited opportunities for prospects, but Levi's performance and the depth in defense offer reason for optimism.
