Auston Matthews Sets the Record, Jays Sign Okamoto + Canada Loses

Ben Ennis and Brent Gunning kick off Monday by celebrating Auston Matthews breaking the Leafs' franchise goal record. They discuss the impact of this achievement on past playoff disappointments, whether Matthews can regain his previous form, and what his age means for his prime years. They also analyze Morgan Rielly's recent play and the implications of Tanev's potential long-term absence. The conversation shifts to the Blue Jays' signing of Kazuma Okamoto and its effects on their roster strategy. After the break, they address Canada's loss to Czechia at the IIHF World Junior Championships and whether it reflects a larger problem for Hockey Canada. Finally, they wrap up by evaluating the Steelers' win against the Ravens and if winning the AFC North justifies the Rodgers partnership (33:19).
