About this episode
Ben Ennis and Brent Gunning open Thursday’s show by discussing Canada’s historic win over Cuba to advance the World Baseball Classic quarterfinals. They highlight the strong performances from Cal Quantrill, Owen Caissie, and James Paxton, while looking ahead to Canada’s chances against the United States and the tournament favourites. After the break, they break down the Raptors’ disappointing loss to the New Orleans Pelicans, the shift in the team’s recent vibes, and the lack of response after Jamal Shead was hit late in the game. They close by reacting to Gary Bettman’s comments on NHL parity, debating whether parity should be the league’s goal, the value of dynasties, and how factors like taxes and weather affect competitive balance.
