Leafs Get Stomped, Quinn Hughes Traded & Chiefs Miss Playoffs

Ben Ennis and Brent Gunning kick off the week by recapping a tough Maple Leafs loss to the Edmonton Oilers. They discuss what went wrong on Saturday night, particularly the struggles in the third period and why this season continues to feel like one step forward and two steps back. The boys also break down Dennis Hildeby’s performance and whether he came back to earth or was left out to dry by the team, as well as the strong play of Easton Cowan. Later, Ben and Brent discuss the Canucks’ decision to trade Quinn Hughes to the Wild, examining the significance of the move for both teams, who got the better end of the deal, and the Wild’s aggressive approach. After the break, the guys look at a wild Week 15 in the NFL, including the Chiefs missing the playoffs, the long-term ramifications of Patrick Mahomes tearing his ACL, what the Bills’ win over the Patriots says about both teams, and Philip Rivers’ performance in his NFL return.
