They discuss how the first half of the year has fared so far for Canadian teams and the goaltending across Canada, why Leafs nation should brace themselves for some pain down the road, Artemi Panarin being held out of the Rangers lineup for the foreseeable future for roster management purposes, if Macklin Celebrini is a legitimate Hard trophy candidate, and much more. Later, Michael Grange joins the show (27:05) ahead of the New York Knicks coming to town. They break down the Raps' recent stretch, what to expect the team to do at the trade deadline and if Jakob Poeltl will be a member of the Raptors following next week's deadline, and much more! Ailish and Jesse close by discussing Giannis Antetokounmpo’s future as the superstar is reportedly on the move!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.
