The 5-Hole Podcast

At the approximate three-quarter pole of this pandemic-shortened NHL season, our friends at the 5-Hole - Bill Moges, G Francis and King Conko review such recent events as the virus's effect on the Canuck's season, team names based on weather phenomena, McDavid's recent slap on the wrist for his intent to injure an opponent and discuss the effectiveness of recent Leaf veteran signings.  We also enjoy another entry of Leafs Got Talent with visits from Zach Hyman and Leaf alum Steve Thomas.

With spring in the air, the 5-Hole crew discuss the Tim Peel controversy, the Leaf goalie situation, their scoring drought and the decline of Captain John Tavares.  They also take a look at the life and times of Coach John Tortorella in a feature called Torts Shorts and the 5-Hole mailbag is back, calling for the boys to step outside their buttoned-down sports journalist comfort zone to speak to the people. 

Lou's Rules return, listener mailbag makes its debut and topics include Leaf trade deadline objectives, how to retain Zack Hyman, an evaluation of Freddie Andersen and recent North Division coaching changes.  

The 5-Hole boys talk Leaf MVP, what's wrong with the Sabres and their stars, how the Shanaplan is going plus more new segments and once again the music budget is happily blown through without a thought to the bottom line.  All this for our valued listener - whoever you are.

The 5-Hole boys discuss Crosby's future, the unexpected Penguin's hire of Brian Burke, they are visited by some talented Leafs and reprise the Lightfoot which finds them complaining once again about things that will never change.

This week the boys discuss what's wrong with the North Division, introduce Lou's Rules and suggest changes they'd make to the NHL if anyone was listening in a segment named for Canadian musical icon Gordon Lightfoot.
