June 18 Stanley Cup Final Thoughts, Leafs Make News & UFC White House Fallout
Let's get in to it on another TCA! Matt Robinson is finally able to touch base with our man Steve Bunda from 580 CFRA.
We kick things off with Matt shaking his fist at the kids on his lawn over their crazy internet talk. Finally gets down to the boys final thoughts on this year's Stanley Cup Playoffs and the showdown between the Carolina Hurricanes and the Vegas Golden Knights. And was Jordan Staal the right choice for Playoff MVP? Should Vegas have held on to Torts?
After that conversation turns to the Toronto Maple Leafs finally beginning to reshape their organization with the hiring of a new head coach and a minor trade. Is Jim Hiller the right guy to lead the Leafs back to the playoffs? Was it too soon to give up on Joseph Woll?
Sportsnet and CBC announced on Tuesday that Hockey Night in Canada is no more. The boys weigh in on why this isn't the bombshell many are making it out to be.
And finally talk circles around to Sunday evening's UFC White House card. Before getting in to the fights themselves discussion starts on the unquestionably unique backdrop and presentation. And then Bunda gives his thoughts on what actually went down inside the octagon.
It's an overflowing pint of sports talk goodness so let's get going.

June 16 Blue Jays Malaise & World Cup Hoorays!
On today's edition of the Tall Can Audio podcast we have the perfect occasion to check in on our man Andrew Stoeten of TheBatFlip.ca.
are the woes of the Toronto Blue Jays as simple as a failure to convert by Vladimir Guerrero Jr? And if so - what's hampering him? Are Jays fans witnessing the final days of Max Scherzer? What's reasonable to expect the soon to return Shane Bieber? And after all that's happened - is there any reason to believe that this team is still in the mix for an MLB playoff spot?
Later on talk turns to a less exasperating topic as Stoeten gives his thoughts on some of the incredibly fun scenes coming out of the World Cup across Canada and Mexico, why the FIFA World Cup seems to be able to regularly overcome all the outside negative noise, how the Canadian team is set up after their first game and how this event could potentially bring in some new fans before it's all said and done.

June 09 Oilers Go Hard For Some Babcock & The Red Wings Captain's Own Dick Move
Matt Robinson steps back in for some mid-week TCA to discuss the headscratching news that the Edmonton Oilers are eying Mike Babcock as their next head coach, the Detroit Red Wings captain giving the most pathetic trade request in recent memory, and the notion that the Toronto Blue Jays top two hitters have 3 weeks to turn it around before sewering the season.

June 08 Canada's FIFA World Cup Kicks Off This Week ft AJ Jakubec
We're back with a brand new week of TCA as Matt Robinson is joined by long-time friend of the show AJ Jakubec - the voice of the Ottawa REDBLACKS and host of The Drive on TSN 1200 in Ottawa.
It's finally here. The FIFA World Cup begins this week and in a once in a lifetime opportunity Canada will be hosting games. No one is more fired up than our pal AJ so we ask him to take us inside his own travel plans to experience the tournament, how vibes may differ here from previous competitions, whether all the talk of ticket pricing and hotel gouging are likely to spoil the party and what needs to happen for this event to be a success.
Later AJ takes us inside Team Canada to discuss which injuries could hamper their progress, names that the country are likely to fall in love with, the odds that this squad can advance out of the group stage and plenty more.
It's a massive week and there's no one we'd rather have getting us set for action.

May 28 A Year In The Life Of The Ottawa Senators ft Julian McKenzie
On the Thursday edition of the Tall Can Audio we're pumped to share with you the second half of our conversation with Julian McKenzie of The Athletic talking all things Ottawa Senators.
It was a roller coaster of a season for the Sens featuring a ridiculous number of injuries, controversy around their starting goalie, a pile of noise around captain Brady Tkachuk, certain segments of the fanbase coming after the media and it all ending with a sweep at the hands of the Carolina Hurricanes.
So the question has to be asked. Was this a good, bad or indifferent year for the organization? And where do they go from here?
We'll get in to all of it with Julian inside this one.
