Olympic X-Factors + Dwane Casey Joins the Show!

Ben Ennis and Brent Gunning open hour three by welcoming Dwane Casey, the former Raptors head coach who now serves as an executive for the Detroit Pistons. He previews Raptors–Pistons as a measuring-stick game, explains why Detroit has worked this season, and weighs in on the latest incident involving this edition of the “Bad Boys” Pistons, while also sharing his perspective on Darko Rajaković’s Year 2 growth. They then welcome ESPN’s NHL writer Greg Wyshynski (24:15) to gauge the Canada–USA rivalry after the U.S. women’s 5–0 win and to preview what to watch as the men’s tournament begins, including the U.S. goalie gamesmanship. They also hit the Devils’ Quinn Hughes photo-edit gaffe and set expectations for Auston Matthews on this stage.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 affiliate.
