Team Canada Lineup Questions with Matthew Barnaby

Ben Ennis and Brent Gunning open the second hour with the latest updates from Canada’s pre-game skate, including Sidney Crosby’s status and the impact his potential absence. Former NHLer Matthew Barnaby joins the conversation to chat about the tournament’s high level of play, Canada’s line deployment, Crosby’s on-ice value versus leadership, and the biggest threats from the U.S. and Finland. The conversation also touches on Mitch Marner’s clutch reputation, the possibility of a gold medal decided by 3-on-3 overtime, and Matthew's son playing in France. After the break, the hosts debate who would fill the leadership void without Crosby, along with Macklin Celebrini’s rising value and what his next contract in San Jose might look like.
