The FAN Morning Show dives into its final hour of Tuesday with Ben Ennis & Brent Gunning continuing to talk NHL and Maple Leafs. The hosting duo debate if their confidence in Toronto has ever been higher in the Auston Matthews TML era. They welcome on Sportsnet’s own Ryan Dixon to further the conversation. (5:34) The composer of SN’s weekly NHL Power Rankings weighs in on where the Leafs fit and if they seem better than in past years with a stronger all around line-up as well as goaltending. The trio then look around the League at some of the surprising circumstances with struggling teams and their decisions, like the Bruins firing of Jim Montgomery, and the Rangers looking to make a big trade to shake up their roster. Next, B&B turn their attention back to the Raptors and are joined by Sportsnet’s own Michael Grange en route from Detroit where he took in the game last night. (26:35) The trio debate if the seemingly “tank” year has had an effect on the fanbase, if Toronto’s inability to get fully healthy should be a concern, how good they are when they are at full strength as well as what Jakob Poeltl’s role and future is with this squad.
