Jeff Marek - friend of the show - joins Ailish and Justin to discuss Matt Murray’s strong start to the season, the Leafs’ improved defensive structure, how the 2017 NHL Draft shaped Dallas’ current core, and the murky circumstances surrounding Paul Maurice’s departure from Winnipeg. Later, Phil Handy, 2019 NBA champion with the Raptors and current Lakers assistant coach, stops by to chat about Anthony Davis’ resurgence this season, Russell Westbrook adapting to his role as the Lakers’ sixth man, Pascal Siakam’s evolution over the past few seasons, his impressions of Scottie Barnes, and Nick Nurse’s innovative approach as a coach (22:00).
