March 27, 2019 Something stinks in Toronto
Mike Traikos joins Paul Chapman talk about the Toronto Maple Leafs chances for a Stanley Cup run this season.
Mike says, something’s not right. Goaltending, defence and overall team chemistry are concerns for the Leafs, so much so he believes the Montreal Canadiens have a better shot at the Stanley Cup this season due to the dominance of goaltender Carey Price.

February 14, 2019 When will Connor McDavid reach his breaking point?
This week Paul Chapman and Mike Traikos look at Connor McDavid coming up second-best once again in a meeting with Sidney Crosby.
In his fourth NHL season Crosby won the Stanley Cup, having made the final in his third year. In this, his fourth season, McDavid is falling further away from making the playoffs, his GM and coach have been fired and it’s fair to ask if McDavid will have the stomach for a full-blown, start-from-scratch rebuild.
Will he want to leave the Oilers?
