The FAN Morning Show goes into its final hour of the week focused on the top stories from the past five days. In a work week where the Maple Leafs played just one game, there was still a lot around the team for Ben Ennis & Brent Gunning to talk about. The hosting pair enlist the help of their “Leafs historian”, The Star contributor Damien Cox to weigh in on everything from Ryan Reaves’ suspension to the hit Matthew Knies took that didn’t garner any discipline as well as the stuff in between; Auston Matthews injury secrecy and him heading to Germany. (2:31 ) And of course there was a really well played game by TML that saw a couple of impressive NHL debuts from some young buds. The trio debate the two hits the most; how the game has evolved but also how much it can actually be policed to try to eliminate “headshots”. In the back end of the hour, the morning duo go a step further and welcome on Stephen Walkom, the senior vice president and director of officiating for the NHL. He gives the boys some insight into the process, how decisions are made and what they look for the most. (29:08 )
