  • HHOF Debate + Leafs-Sens Game Day
    2024/11/12

    The FAN Morning Show goes into its final hour of Tuesday focusing on hockey. Ben Ennis & Brent Gunning start the puck talk on the Hockey Hall of Fame ceremony that took place last night and the process of who is named every year. Frank Seravalli of Daily Faceoff joins the fray and the spirited debate on if more transparency is needed in who is in the mix to get in. (4:55) B&B also get into some of the roster decisions facing the Maple Leafs with the hockey insider as well as if things can get better for Sidney Crosby and the Pittsburgh Penguins. The morning duo break up the puck talk with another “Dispatch from Stupid Town” given some breaking news regarding Juan Soto meeting with teams this week. The Blue Jays are up first so the boys discuss what that could mean. The hosting pair get back to hockey and are joined by “historian” & The Star longtime contributor, Damien Cox. (28:01) The trio dive into why, or if, rivalries aren’t as intense as they used to be and why that is. Is the style of hockey different? Is it social media? They debate it all as well as some fond memories from Leafs-Sens in the past and what is best case scenario for Toronto in net for the rest of the season. (47:42)

  • Puck Talk + Pursuing Soto

    The FAN Morning Show goes into its final hour of the week with Ben Ennis and Brent Gunning talking some more puck. They continue to look at the back-to-back games the Maple Leafs have tonight and tomorrow against a couple of Atlantic division foes. B&B debate who will or should start in between the pipes for Toronto in each game and what lineup shuffle we can expect if Auston Matthews remains out. The hosting pair welcome on host of the Dropping the Gloves podcast, John Scott. They get the former NHLer's take on the news this week that the NCAA would lift its eligibility ban in allowing CHL players to compete at US colleges and what the impact of it could be.

After some insight on what its like to be part of the Prime crew with Mark Messier, the trio turn their attention to baseball and the pursuit to land this year’s free agency trophy in Juan Soto. They talk about how it’ll most likely come down to the Yankees and Mets; how Steve Cohen will spend anything to win.
