Summary
Daniele Franceschi and Zack Bodenstein open this episode with a look at the freshly released 2026-27 NHL schedule. They discuss the marquee games kicking off the year on opening night, the inclusion of some 4:00 p.m. Monday games catered for European markets, and what part of the Maple Leafs schedule stood out most to them. Later, Toronto Sun golf writer Jon McCarthy joins the guys live from Royal Birkdale country club in England following the first round of the British Open. He shares what the course conditions are like, how Canadians Corey Conners and Nick Taylor are faring, and what would be the ideal Sunday pairing. After the break, the guys look ahead to Sunday's World Cup final and debate who has the edge between Argentina and Spain, the deciding factors other either side, the importance of scoring first, and the legacy stakes for Lionel Messi.
