JD Bunkis kicks off today’s show finding the positives from the Maple Leafs' loss last night to the Vegas Golden Knights. We then switch gears to the gridiron to preview this week's Thursday Night Football action between the Atlanta Falcons and Carolina Panthers, presented by DraftKings (9:43)! Afterwards, JD and gang sort through the stories of the day including Ryan Reynolds' appearance at the Canadian Tire Centre and Pete's destination wedding. Next up, Donovan Bennett, host of "Going Deep" on the Sportsnet Radio Network, joins JD to share a sneak peek of his new show (47:43)! The pair then discuss how athletes in the celebrity spotlight can impact certain franchises, if the Golden State Warriors' dynasty is concluding, and question how the Toronto Raptors would look if Kawhi Leonard never left. Later on, host of the "MMA Hour" Ariel Helwani looks ahead to UFC 281 this weekend and chats about if the bright lights at MSG still factor in, and the stakes surrounding Israel Adesanya's title bout (01:23:17).
