TUESDAY RUNDOWN: BEYAK, MADANI, CFL VAXX AND MORE!

As usual we covered all the hottest sports topics and had more big fun on Episode #556 of The RP Show – Canada’s Daytime Sports Talkshow – on Tuesday! Read on for the rundown:

• RP and Moose Dupont got it going with The Warmup for EECOL Electric covering these Quick Six show topics: 1) The Saints down the Jaguars 23-21 on Monday Night Football, 2) If you could pick one current NHL goalie to win one game, who would it be? (RP chose Andrei Vasilevskiy), 3) The Blue Jays down the White Sox 2-1, 4) Kirill Kaprizov won’t be heading to KHL Moscow, 5) The Flames & Stamps will require proof of vaccination to attend games, and 6) NFL Notes, the NHL preseason sked is released and Vegas’s Indoor Football League team will be known as the Knight Hawks. Former Rider Assistant Coach and personnel man Mike Davis will be the Knight Hawks’ first coach.
• Winnipeg Jets TV Voice Dennis Beyak joined the show from his summer home in Kelowna for a Jets update. He said Jets fans have forgiven the Round 2 sweep to Montreal because they’re so excited about the upcoming season! Dennis feels upgrades to the blue line are the reason for the optimism although their back-up goalie situation could be a mild concern. Beyak agreed that the Mark Scheifele hit in Game 1 of the Montreal series turned the tide and felt a 2-game suspension would’ve sufficed rather than 4. The guys also had some fun with NHL TV colour commentators Shane Hnidy and Kevin Sawyer.
• The Capital Auto Mall/Universal Collision Centre poll question was: Which is Canada’s Game of the Week in Week 4 of the CFL schedule – Hamilton at Montreal, BC at Ottawa or Calgary at Winnipeg? At press time the Stamps & Bombers were leading by a landslide.
• In the Hour 2 Second Half Kickoff for CORR Grain we revealed that we’re considering moving the program’s streaming broadcasts to YouTube exclusively and viewers had several thoughts. The guys also discussed the passing of Rolling Stones great Charlie Watts.
• Sportsnet’s Arash Madani joined the show to discuss the Blue Jays’ current swoon and admitted it came out of nowhere. Arash also discussed CFL proof of vaccination policies for fans and was disappointed in the Roughriders for not instituting a similar policy to the seven teams who have. As a staunch Minnesota Vikings fan, Arash said he’s most interested in the NFC North Division but the next most-intriguing is the NFC West.
