Leafs Questions + The Hockey Standard

The FAN Morning Show

The FAN Morning Show goes into its final hour of the week with Ben Ennis and Brent Gunning looking at the Maple Leafs' upcoming schedule, which again includes a back-to-back this weekend. Frank Seravalli of Daily Faceoff delves into some questions the team is facing including the status of Auston Matthews’ injury and if his health could factor into the decision of bringing Mitch Marner back, before sorting through some possible additions to help the team’s lack of scoring. To close out the week, focus shifts back to the World Juniors and Canada’s disappointing early exit in the quarterfinals alongside Sportsnet’s own Jason Bukala (29:33). The founder of the Pro Hockey Group discusses why the loss didn’t sit well with him including some curious coaching decisions and scouting questions that emerged, before debating if the world standard in hockey has shifted with Canada no longer being viewed as the top tier.
