A conversation with Hugh Burrill

from Shapiro's Daily Conversations Hosted by Ari Shapiro

My conversation with veteran broadcaster and sports commentator Hugh Burrill, whose work with CityTV, Breakfast Television, and Sportsnet is enjoyed by Canadians from coast-to-coast. We discussed the surprising Montreal Canadiens and the upstart New York Islanders, how losing Tavares was a classic case of addition by subtraction, on the power of real sports escapism, the portrayal of Matthews and Marner on social media as a mitigating factor, his candid thoughts on the Super Bowl, why the Blue Jays aren't following MLSE's mantra, and the looming threat of work stoppages in hockey and baseball. Be sure to follow Hugh on social media (@hughwburrill) and tune in weekday mornings at the Fan 590 in Toronto for his live radio show.
