Description

Ailish and Justin begin with Matthews vs. Bedard tonight in Toronto and all the talk leading into the game has been about the amount of media coverage for the rookie with people like teammate Taylor Hall saying it’s been overboard. Jeff Marek weighs in on the coverage and where to draw the line before discussing which NHL team and stars would you pay money to see (6:07). Later, former NHL referee Tim Peel joins the show to discuss tonight’s game, the evolution of referees, the role of fighting and how rules have changed, technology and getting calls right (25:52). Finally, ahead of NLCS Game 1 we are joined by Bob Nightengale from USA Today (59:23). Thoughts on the Playoffs, why older pitchers are being left in games longer, then, to off field stories like baseball returning to the Olympics.The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the hosts and guests and do not necessarily reflect the position of Rogers Sports & Media or any affiliates.
