In the final hour of The FAN Morning Show, Ben Ennis & Brent Gunning revisit the Zach Whitecloud hit on Matthew Knies in last night’s Maple Leafs win over the Golden Knights. Sportsnet’s Luke Fox joins the duo to give his thoughts, and discuss the vibes around the team in the midst of their lighter schedule. (3:53) They also take a look at the depth coming up from the Marlies with a number of players out of the lineup for the Leafs. Later, B&B are joined by NFL Network’s Jeffri Chadiha to break down the AFC playoff picture, who should be the favourite between the Chiefs and the Bills, and how far the Pittsburgh Steelers can go. (28:50) The trio also get into the MVP conversation, and question if a non-quarterback should be considered for the award.

On hour two of The FAN Morning Show, Ben Ennis & Brent Gunning reset on the Maple Leafs; where they are at after twenty games and their twelfth win of the season. The hosting pair delve into the latest Leafs win, yet again without Matthews but also address the injuries, especially to their forward batch that continue to pile up for Toronto. B&B discuss what it means for the team and how it forces them to see what they have in terms of depth. At the back end of the hour, B&B enlisted the help of Sportsnet’s own, Nick Kypreos (24:38) for his thoughts on the hit itself, the way the game is played and how impressive the Leafs are playing despite all these injuries. The Stanley Cup champ also re-visits an engaging segment from his show earlier in the week that is also the topic of The Star piece put out today regarding Mitch Marner, his value on the open market, his future as a Maple Leaf and how fans view him.

Ben Ennis & Brent Gunning kick off The FAN Morning Show taking some time to celebrate Joseph Woll’s first shutout of the season, how impressive the call-ups were and just a hard-fought game from the whole team. But the jubilee turns quickly as they have to address Matthew Knies getting hurt and exiting the game after a hit from Zach Whitecloud. The hosting pair turn their attention to the MLB offseason and rifle through a few different topics including the latest on Soto team meetings, who seem like the favourites, other players the Blue Jays could be targeting as well as what the Red Sox say their expectations are for next season and where that leaves the A.L. East (35:39).
