The Calgary Flames made headlines this week with Mikael Backlund’s contract extension, and former Sportsnet 960 host Peter Klein opens the show explaining why the deal makes sense both on and off the ice. Plus, training camp is underway, and while veterans like Rasmus Andersson are cementing their roles, rising prospects like Zayne Parekh are fighting to make an impression.

From there, attention turns to the NFL, where Thursday Night Football brings a fascinating AFC matchup between the Buffalo Bills and Miami Dolphins. The Bills’ offence has been red-hot, while Miami’s defence continues to stumble — but can the Dolphins’ explosive playmakers tilt the field? Peter also shares his betting lean for the total and a prop pick for James Cook, before laying out the key fantasy football decisions for both squads.

Finally, the focus shifts north to the CFL East, where every team enters the stretch run with one major question mark. Can Bob Dyce steer Ottawa in the right direction? Will injuries derail Montreal’s playoff hopes? What’s Toronto’s QB plan as Chad Kelly and Nick Arbuckle juggle health? And can Hamilton’s defence rise to meet the standard set by its offence?

It’s a full slate of football and hockey talk, packed into 34 minutes of smart, entertaining sports coverage.
