Summer break is over, we.are.back. We were already planning on recording an episode and then the tragic news that Johnny Gaudreau and his brother Matthew died Thursday night while riding their bicycles in a case of drunk driving, so our plan of course changed. All four of the boys send their thoughts and prayers to the Gaudreau family, teammates and friends during this tough time. Don't Drink and Drive. After the guys remember Johnny for the outstanding hockey player that he was they stay with hockey but talk about the rookie trades that have happened in the last week, first with Rutger McGroarty and then Yaroslav Askarov. In the second half the show the guys talk straight NFL with the new contract to wide receivers Brandon Aiyuk and CeeDee Lamb before Justin goes through the Patriots schedule and how he thinks they could be a playoff team. Finally the guys wrap it up with Fantasy Football talk as their draft is next Tuesday evening.

We. Are. Back.

after being off for one week we are back with another episode of the Healthy Scratches Podcast. First we looked into the NHL draft and whether or not it the entertainment value was what everyone had hoped. Staying with Hockey we broke down the busy NHL free agency that saw over 100 players move teams and more then $1 billion spent in the first 12 hours. unlike the NHL the next topic spent $1 billion in the first couple contracts, the NBA and Paul George. Eric, Justin and Alex debate whether or not Paul George should be looked upon as superstar free agent with no pass success. FINALLY we had our first ever in studio guest, classmate and Jays guru, Ian Finlayson. Where we talked Vladdy's special month but what the Jays might end up doing at the trade deadline.

Ep. 22 Healthy Scratches

It’s June which means we’re nearing the end of the primetime sports calendar as both series leading teams in the NHL and NBA finals have a 3-0 stranglehold on their opponent. Say it ain’t so but this time next week we could have a new Larry O’Brien and Stanley Cup champion. The crew does a deep dive into each respective series and give predictions on how they both turn out. Once the playoff talk concluded the boys go over the third golf major of the year in the US Open in Pinehurst, North Carolina.

After the links is some NFL banter regarding the Jacksonville Jaguars future, specifically with the Trevor Lawrence contract extension. Followed by trade bait talk with Patrick Laine and the Columbus Blue Jackets, and of course, the EURO Cup kicking off with Germany and Scotland the day of recording. Like every episode Jackson and Eric end off with Walking the Money Line for Saturday’s slate of games. Don’t look now but Jackson is hitting at a 75% clip in the last six episodes!
