  • Stanley Cup Aftermath + Jays One Game Win Streak
    Jun 26 2024

    The final hour of the FAN Morning Show begins with hosts Ben Ennis & Brent Gunning discussing the great viewership numbers that Stanley Cup Game 7 got on both sides of the border; wondering if it could carry over to interest in next year’s NHL 4 Nations Face-Off Tournament. With some news coming out yesterday regarding the coach of Canada, the duo takes some time to talk about the staff and players that could (or maybe more importantly) should represent and if the Cup final changed anything. They welcome on ESPN senior writer Greg Wyshynski to join the conversation of welcoming back best-on-best hockey competition and the excitement around it (09:30). The co-host of The Drop podcast also gives some great stories from covering the Stanley Cup Final especially around Game 7 and the Panthers celebration afterwards on the ice. They also re-visit the conversation of players due extensions this summer and wonder if the first one could determine the market the others get. Next B&B turn their attention back to baseball and specifically the Blue Jays. They enlist the help of MLB.com’s Keegan Matheson who witnessed Toronto’s first victory in eight games firsthand (27:18). Keegan provides the guys with the sense around the team and if, or where, to find optimism around this squad. The trio discuss why middling could be the worst position to be in and talk about what options the team has moving forward and towards the trade deadline. Can the Jays actually make it two in a row and win a series? We’ll find out tonight.

  • NHL Offseason + MLB Trade Season
    Jun 26 2024

    THE FAN Morning Show’s second hour is all about the moves needed to be made by Toronto teams. Hosts Ben Ennis and Brent Gunning start in the NHL where with the Stanley Cup awarded, it is officially the offseason. The duo look at some names around the league that are in line for extensions before the final year of their contracts. The main two are Leon Draisaitl and Mitch Marner. They wonder if one affects the other, especially the one that just won a Stanley Cup affecting one that’s in flux with his current squad. The two dive into what realistic Leafs options are regarding Marner and recap what reports have been out there in relation to them; they wonder if they should expect a resolution to the situation ahead of the draft this Friday and if not, is a move more or less likely to happen after July 1st. They also look at the super strong numbers Game 7 of the Cup Final did and if maybe playing so long into the calendar year helped that at all. Second half of the second hour returns to talking baseball as the hosts welcome on MLB Network’s Jon Morosi (26:16). The trio look at the upcoming trade deadline, the current standings and where the Blue Jays sit amidst it all; what should determine if Toronto sells, who from the Jays there would be the most interest in and which teams would be in the market for them. They also examine what return would be needed in order for TBJ to part with their two biggest assets and superstars. The hour ends with the daily Wake and Rake which focuses on the rubber match between the Blue Jays & Red Sox tonight.

  • Blue Jays and Team Canada Break Through
    Jun 26 2024

    The FAN Morning Show’s first hour today focuses on a couple big wins last night in sports. Hosts Ben Ennis and Brent Gunning start with the Blue Jays, who ended a seven game losing streak and saw George Springer come to life offensively. Beyond the victory, B&B step back to look at the big picture for this team and if they are locked in as “sellers’ come the trade deadline. They get into Toronto's two biggest assets: Bo Bichette, who just returned to the lineup, and Vlad Guerrero Jr, who made an interesting comment you'll want to hear. They also delve into Kevin Gausman's place in the rotation and if he can still be an ace, before debating who within the organization is best suited to make deals when the time comes. Back end of the hour, the morning duo look at the Canadian men’s soccer team and their much needed victory in their second match at the Copa America tournament. They look at how crucial John Herdman, Jonathan David and Max Crepeau all are to the the team's recent growth and success.
