The FAN Morning Show

Toughness Is Snot the Right Approach by the Leafs

We start the show with more “snot talk” regarding the Leafs off-season and for that, Damien Cox gets another invite to the show, the idea of signing a guy like Ryan Reaves is a waste of time because enforcers are no longer in style, William Nylander for a top goalie like Conner Hellebuyck. Next up, Doug Smith on the Raptors heading into Summer League, the temptation of trading Siakam, and why Scottie Barnes is not a capable point gaurd to take the ball down the court. Later, Ben discusses why Canada matches up and can compete with Team USA at the FIBA World Cup this summer. Next up, Jon Morosi on the Jays' 7-20 record against the AL East, why Baltimore is much better, and how Toronto needs to rely on pitching and defense. We close with Bruce Boudreau on the Leafs' off-season, how much of a role state tax plays with free agents, and how he personally wanted everything about coaching in Canada and why it’s not for everyone. He points to teams facing too many shots and how you can only go so far before the other team breaks you.
