Last show of the week and we got a special one for you.

The Pat Down focuses on the Jonathan Toews news, as the Blackhawks captain revealed what has kept him out of the league this year. J Pat asks if the 82 game season is too taxing on the players, and floats the idea that maybe it is time to shorten the schedule.

Former Canadian men’s basketball team member Al Kristmanson follows and gives us his insight on Canada’s win over Greece in game one of the FIBA Olympic qualifying, tells us how this Canadian team can be the best we’ve ever seen play for Canada and describes how the style of play in the international game is much different from the NBA. 

Craig Button follows Hashtags - the best and worst of Twitter, and tells us how he feels the Canadiens can get back into the Stanley Cup final, gives his thoughts on Connor McDavid’s unanimous Hart Trophy win, how he feels about Ryan Nugent-Hopkins new deal with the Oilers, and why he thinks that Alex Ovechkin will re-sign with the Capitals on a short term deal.

The Price is Right suggests that we take the time to reflect on the past instead of celebrating this Canada Day.

Canucks legend Gino Odjick follows Tell Me I’m Wrong and Ask J Pat and gives his thoughts on the Sedin twins joining the Canucks front office, talks about Seattle becoming a geographical rival for the Canucks, his feelings on the findings of the unmarked graves at residential schools across Canada, tells us whether or not he faced any form of racism while he was playing, and touches on Carey Price and his role as a role model for Indigenous youth. 

We play Hot Take for the final time this week. The show wraps with all the Errors & Omissions.
