  • Brent Gunning has to go

    Ben is amazing. I only listen to the show when Brent is off as I find him overwhelming and agitating.

    Please replace Brent with Sam McKee or another host and I will listen regularly.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

NHL Off-Season Storylines to Watch + World Cup Focus with Amy Walsh
Q: Amy, how did Canada's performance in the World Cup shape your outlook for the next cycle?
Amy reflects on the need to build a broader player pool, invest in development (including NCAA connections), and leverage Jesse Marsch's approach to create a more competitive Canadian program both on the men's and women's sides.
Leafs Close In on Darren Raddysh with Jason Bukala
Q: What makes Darren Raddysh a fit for the Maple Leafs right now?
He brings a high-end right-shot puck mover with a proven offensive year at 30, and the Leafs need a mobile back end that can feed their power play; the fit hinges on how well Toronto can integrate him into the current core and adjust the power-play structure.
PGA Golfer Ben Silverman, Leafs Coaching Search & Blue Jays Check-In
Q: How does Ben Silverman view the US Open week and the mental approach to back-to-back major starts?
Silverman stresses a measured, strategic approach, focusing on maintaining rhythm, avoiding forced plays, and leveraging experience from qualifiers and prior major experiences.
PGA Golfer Ben Silverman, Leafs Coaching Search & Blue Jays Check-In
Q: What is the likelihood of Pat Ferschweiler becoming the Leafs' next head coach?
The hosts believe Ferschweiler is a strong candidate due to his resume and communication skills, though they debate his age and the potential drawbacks of hiring a coach from college hockey.
Jays Sweep Boston & Leafs Add Raddysh + Brandon Bussi
Q: What is the market value for Darren Raddysh and why did the Leafs pursue him so aggressively?
Frank Seravalli explains that Raddysh offered elite shooting and a power play threat, which the Leafs needed, and that the eight-year term reflects a bet on cap dynamics and long-term value rather than a short-term splash.
