Nylander's New Level + Dear Canada...

Ben Ennis and Brent Gunning begin the second hour by welcoming Gord Stellick, former Maple Leafs General Manager and friend of the show! They discuss the Leafs’ performance in Calgary, William Nylander’s strong return from injury, and how his play balances the off-ice noise surrounding him. Gord shares his thoughts on whether Nylander can sustain this level of play, the current goaltending situation with Joseph Woll and Anthony Stolarz, the team’s lack of power play opportunities, and how he would approach the upcoming Olympic break with the Leafs outside a playoff spot. Could a sell-off be coming? After the break (22:30), Ben and Brent react to Connor McDavid’s Players’ Tribune piece about representing Canada at the Olympics, examining the personality he showed, his passion for hockey, and how it contrasts with the public perception of Auston Matthews and the Toronto market.
