Ben Ennis & Brent Gunning kick off today's show recapping the weekend’s NHL All-Star festivities and everything they saw. They dissect how some of hockey’s top stars like Auston Matthews & Connor McDavid were committed and to making the event in Toronto a success and how the league fully embraced the celebrity power of having someone like Justin Bieber involved. It leads to a conversation and looks ahead to future hockey events like the NHL 4 Nations Face-Off tournament in 2025 & the Olympics in 2026. Finally, they tee up the Maple Leafs' second half with Patrick Roy and the Islanders in town for the first game post-break. They end the hour talking to Leafs' former GM, now Insider and hockey host, Gord Stellick (25:54), for his thoughts on it all as well as a look ahead moving forward ahead of next month’s trade deadline.
