They start with the defending champion Chiefs, who got another big conference win on Saturday, as they try to lock up the number one seed. Trey Wingo, host of the Alternate Routes podcast, discusses how the playoff picture is taking form, Kansas City's path to a three-peat, what teams could challenge them the most, and what limits the Bills from taking them down. They also look at some of the divisions up for grabs and if the Falcons quarterback change could help the team win the NFC South. To end today’s show, the morning duo turn their attention back to the Maple Leafs ahead of an afternoon all-Canadian game against the Winnipeg Jets alongside Nick Kypreos (28:55)! The host of Real Kyper and Bourne gives his thoughts on Auston Matthews' injury, the fear that in may linger long term and if it could make him a target for other teams now. The trio also chat about how it could impact what the Leafs do at the trade deadline and just how much is at stake for Toronto's brass come April, before diving into the drama surrounding the Vancouver Canucks and two of their superstars. The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the hosts and guests and do not necessarily reflect the position of Rogers Sports & Media or any affiliates.

NFL Playoff Picture + Leafs Minus Matthews

On hour two of The FAN Morning Show, Ben Ennis & Brent Gunning continue with the Leafs talk with former Leafs’ GM, now analyst and host, Gord Stellick. The trio get into the Matthews re-injury and what concerns are there, the secondary scoring and how the team is up putting it in the net in 5-on-5 play but also how they need to be as they seem to be giving up more goals. In the back end of the hour, the morning twosome turn their attention to the Blue Jays after Vlad Guerrero Jr.’s appearance on a recent podcast went into detail about the extension offers that Toronto has given him (31:40).The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the hosts and guests and do not necessarily reflect the position of Rogers Sports & Media or any affiliate.

Leafs Going Into the Break + Vladdy Going Into the Season

Ben Ennis & Brent Gunning kick off The FAN Morning Show by looking at the Leafs weekend which had both an ugly win and maybe an even uglier loss. The hosting duo tackles a list of topics like the team’s goaltending with Matt Murray in the mix and Auston Matthews getting re-injured with no timetable for return. They also look around the NHL to delve into some other big stories around the league that includes a Matt Rempe suspension and a Canucks beef between JT Miller & Elias Pettersson that has gone public. They also took some time to get into the latest Raptors loss, which was close again despite poor play from their superstar Scottie Barnes and a busy weekend in the NFL with some playoff implications (35:50).The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the hosts and guests and do not necessarily reflect the position of Rogers Sports & Media or any affiliate.

Leafs Lessons From the Weekend

The Fan Morning Show goes into its final hour of the week talking some hockey and baseball. Ben Ennis & Brent Gunning start again with the local Toronto NHL team that has a back-to-back this weekend starting in Buffalo tonight; the hosts debate if we could see Matt Murray take the crease for the ‘blue & white” and return to the NHL for the first time since April of 2023.  B&B bring on hockey insider Frank Seravalli of Daily FaceOff for his theory and thoughts on the best way for the Leafs to proceed in this stretch of the schedule after having to put Anthony Stolarz on IR earlier this week. The trio then look around the League and dive into some of the moves made before the holiday hiatus and movement pause as well as what teams could be active once its lifted. The a.m. pair then turn their attention to the latest around Major League Baseball starting with Sammy Sosa issuing an apology acknowledging “mistakes” he made. Why now? Does anyone care? What recognition is he seeking? Hear what the two hosts think. B&B then bring on another friend of the show in Adnan Virk of MLB Network & NHL Network. The trio discuss everything from drones, to Monday Night Hockey in Edmonton, the MLB free agent market, Pete Alonso’s value on it, why Nolan Arenado would block a trade to the Astros and the current exchange rate. The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the hosts and guests and do not necessarily reflect the position of Rogers Sports & Media or any affiliate.
