TUESDAY RUNDOWN
We had loads of hockey and football talk – plus a few other things – on Tuesday’s Episode #1,031 of The RP Show live from Ace Casino Airport & Hotel Clique Calgary Airport on Game+ TV, WQEE, Podcast & YouTube Live! Here’s the rundown:
- RP and Moose Dupont got it going with The Warmup covering these Quick Six show topics: 1) Analysis of the first four days of NHL Free Agency, 2) The Blue Jays open a 3-game series at the Chicago White Sox Tuesday night, 3) The Argonauts won the Braley Bowl 45-23 over the Lions, 4) A recap of other Week 4 CFL games, 5) A preview of Week 5 in the CFL, and 6) Canada must beat Cuba Tuesday evening in CONCACAF play.
- Winnipeg Sports Talk’s Andrew “Hustler” Paterson joined the show to give a Jets perspective on free agency. He knew former captain Blake Wheeler had to be bought out and feels the team cannot sign centre Mark Scheifele to an extension. Regarding rumours of goalie Connor Hellebuyck being dealt, Hustler feels he may not go anywhere and could earn the most money in Winnipeg.
- The daily Key Yorkton Kia poll question was: Who’s winning NHL Free Agency – Carolina, Nashville, Toronto or Other? At press time, the Maple Leafs were leading.
- Washington Capitals TV analyst and former Estevan Bruin Alan May joined the show from Wymer Lake, Minnesota for a free agency wrap and refutes the claim that former Caps defenceman Dmitry Orlov was the #1 free agent. “There’s a lot of miles on that body,” May advised. He feels Toronto is winning free agency so far. Regarding the rookie season of Connor Bedard in Chicago, Alan hopes the Blackhawks beef up their roster to give him some help. He also answered several viewer questions including one about Alex Ovechkin, and May feels he’ll play at least three more years.
- RP Show staffer Kevin The Medium joined Rod at Ace Casino for a deep analysis of all the CFL action. As a staunch BC Lions fan, Kevin said he isn’t worried about Lions QB Vernon Adams Jr. despite his six interceptions thrown in the Braley Bowl.
- If you missed any of Tuesday’s show you can catch the replay at 10 pm PT/12 am CT on Game+ TV, on our YouTube Channel or wherever you enjoy your podcasts.
- See you at 12 pm ET on Wednesday on Game+ TV, YouTube Live and WQEE Radio!
