Leafs Lose in Return, Scherzer Rejoins Jays & Raptors Collapse Late

Ben Ennis and Brent Gunning open the show by recapping the Maple Leafs’ loss to the Tampa Bay Lightning in their return from the Olympic break. The boys dive into the team’s effort, urgency, pace, playoff outlook, and standout performers. They also take time to chat about Anthony Stolarz getting the start and whether Brayden Point could have helped Team Canada. Later, Ben and Brent look into Keith Pelley’s letter to Maple Leafs season ticket holders about the trade deadline and what it signals for the team’s direction, plus Connor McDavid’s exchange with Mark Spector over his big-game record. After the break, they react to the Blue Jays re-signing Max Scherzer, before closing with thoughts on the Raptors’ tough loss to the San Antonio Spurs.
