  • Canada on Business, NBA All-Star Reset & Morikawa’s Pebble Finish
    Feb 16 2026

    Ben Ennis and Brent Gunning bring in Sportsnet analyst Jason Bukala to explain why Team Canada has looked untouchable through three games and why the real tests only get louder from here. Bukala breaks down how Macklin Celebrini has fit right in beside superstar talent, the edge Canada has shown when things get scrappy, and how the goaltending has quieted what was supposed to be the one lingering question. They also keep one eye on Team USA, with Auston Matthews driving the Americans. In the back half, the guys dig into The Athletic poll calling the Dylan Cease contract the worst free agent deal and debate risk-versus-strikeout upside. They boys also touch on this year's NBA All-Star format and whether one strong showing can actually bring the event back, before circling Adam Silver’s latest anti-tanking talk. They finish at Pebble Beach, recapping Collin Morikawa's win to end a 28-month drought after a long delay sparked by Jacob Bridgeman’s adventure on the beach.

  • NHL-Style Olympics, Curling Controversy & Jays Trade
    Feb 16 2026

    Ben Ennis and Brent Gunning open the show on Family Day with a quick nod to the holiday, before jumping straight into how unstoppable Team Canada’s men’s hockey team has looked through the group stage. The boys compare it to past Olympic runs and explain why this version feels different. They also touch on Tom Wilson’s fight and a wider debate about how close the tournament has moved toward an NHL style product, before running through how the quarterfinal bracket and qualifying round could shake out. They wrap by zooming out to the broader Olympic experience, including the curling controversy and trash talk, plus a quick nod to Canada getting its first Gold courtesy of Mikaël Kingsbury. To close the hour, they pivot to the Blue Jays’ trade for Jesús Sánchez and debate if he can a real everyday factor and how much of the move is a bet on loud contact and power.

  • From Milan to Salt Lake, Virk Reacts and Peca Takes You Inside 2002
    Feb 13 2026

    Ben Ennis and Brent Gunning close out the week with Adnan Virk, starting with the high of Team Canada steamrolling Czechia and why it only fuels the belief this group can run the table. They pivot to the U.S. and land on their clearest advantage: a goalie group deep enough to carry a short tournament if they settle on the right guy early. From there, they shift to baseball and sort through the early bad news around Blue Jays camp and what it could mean for the 2026 season. Later, 2002 Olympic gold medalist Mike Peca (24:17), takes them inside the Salt Lake experience with stories from the room, including a Pat Quinn moment he still hasn’t forgotten. He also weighs in on Hockey Canada’s roster build, and the NHL level physicality showing up early in the tournament. They finish with Connor Bedard, and Peca’s read on how unfazed he’s been by the Team Canada omission and why his mindset stays locked on the present.
