  • Never Know…

    Listen daily from Raleigh, NC. Love hearing O’dog on a regular basis. As somebody born in ‘93, he was a rockstar to youth hockey players my age growing up a Canes fan. Warning: you will pick up the ridiculous lingo thrown around this show the more you listen.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Johnson on the Maple Leafs in a decline, Toronto leaning towards a turnaround and the Canadiens as contenders
Q: Johnny, heading into tonight, is there anything that you would tweak if you're Craig Berube?
Yes, work ethic and pride need to be prioritized, along with a possible reshuffling of lines including more ice time for Eastern Cowan and experimenting with wing positions for certain players.
Johnson on the Maple Leafs in a decline, Toronto leaning towards a turnaround and the Canadiens as contenders
Q: Is he getting screwed? Is he going to be like Scott Lotton and maybe go somewhere else and start ripping home goals? What do you make of it?
Robertson has the talent; hes a player who could benefit from a better fit or more opportunities, though success depends on the context and role he is given within the lineup.
Johnson on the Maple Leafs in a decline, Toronto leaning towards a turnaround and the Canadiens as contenders
Q: Tell me, Johnny, when you watch Nick Robertson, is he an NHL player, or is he a guy that kind of deserves what he's been getting the treatment?
He is an NHL player with the potential for more given opportunities; expanding his ice time might increase his production, but consistency and role clarity will determine his impact.
Pillar on the Blue Jays' roster, the pitching depth and World Baseball Classic
Q: Do you see this as David versus Goliath tonight or what?
Pillar suggests it's not a pure David-vs-Goliath situation but emphasizes that Canada has to leverage early scoring, pressure, and strong pitching to compete with the USA's depth and talent.
OverDrive - March 10, 2026 - Hour 1 - Joe Thomas
Q: 1890300: Joe, how much of Tua's comments and leadership concerns do you think affected his longevity and the Dolphins' decisions?
Joe discusses how leadership demeanor, public messaging, and being the face of the franchise influence career longevity and team decisions, sometimes more than performance alone.
