Episode Description from the Publisher

Ben Ennis and Brent Gunning are joined by Toronto Maple Leafs historian and Toronto Star contributor Damien Cox to kick off hour three. They discuss Damien's expectations for the Leafs this year, where the roster is at, and whether Auston Matthews and the team at large can bounce back under Jim Hiller. Ben, Brent, and Damien then get into a conversation around Connor Hellebuyck's trade request and the growing feeling of player entitlement in the NHL. Later, Ben and Brent rank their most passionate current Leafs players and close out the week with a look at how much pressure is on the Blue Jays heading into their weekend series in Texas.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.
