Canada on Business, NBA All-Star Reset & Morikawa’s Pebble Finish

from The FAN Morning Show · host Sportsnet

Ben Ennis and Brent Gunning bring in Sportsnet analyst Jason Bukala to explain why Team Canada has looked untouchable through three games and why the real tests only get louder from here. Bukala breaks down how Macklin Celebrini has fit right in beside superstar talent, the edge Canada has shown when things get scrappy, and how the goaltending has quieted what was supposed to be the one lingering question. They also keep one eye on Team USA, with Auston Matthews driving the Americans. In the back half, the guys dig into The Athletic poll calling the Dylan Cease contract the worst free agent deal and debate risk-versus-strikeout upside. The boys also touch on this year's NBA All-Star format and whether one strong showing can actually bring the event back, before circling Adam Silver’s latest anti-tanking talk. They finish at Pebble Beach, recapping Collin Morikawa's win to end a 28-month drought after a long delay sparked by Jacob Bridgeman’s adventure on the beach.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.
