    2024/09/20

    The FAN Morning Show goes into its final hour fully focused on hockey as NHL camps open up and we get our first glimpse of how each team's lines and pairings are shaping up. Hosts Ben Ennis and Brent Gunning obviously start on the Maple Leafs and bring on Sportsnet’s own Jason Bukala for his thoughts. The trio dive into some of the biggest questions facing this team including Easton Cowan; what he needs to show them in camp, what expectations should be for him, and what role he could fill for them. They also delve into the goaltending situation in Toronto, what Max Pacioretty’s role might look like, and the team's improved blueline heading into the season. Next up, ESPN’s Greg Wyshsynski takes a look around the league at other camps including the Bruins' Jeremy Swayman situation, what the ceiling is for Sheldon Keefe in New Jersey, and what the expectations are for John Tortorella's Flyers (25:52).

  • Leafs Media Day Aftermath + Bowden’s Bar
    2024/09/19

    Ben Ennis & Brent Gunning give their biggest takeaways and who handled the day the best. Did Mitch Marner hit the right tone for media and fans given he was maybe the most anticipated player people wanted to hear from? Did it sound like they are all on the same page with the same goal? How much does a competitive camp help the team this year? B&B discuss it all. At the backend of the hour, the morning duo turned their attention to the Blue Jays and another strong start from Bowden Francis even in a loss. Has the starter set the bar too high for expectations for next year? The boys get into that as well as Bo Bichette getting scratched from the line-up and if he’s falling into the “injury-prone” category at this point. The hour ends with the Canadian Football report (31:49).
