TUESDAY RUNDOWN: VAIVE ON MATTHEWS, ARASH, FROZEN FOUR & MORE!

We had breaking news and on-the-spot analysis on Tuesday’s Episode #731 of The RP Show – Daytime Sports & Entertainment Talk! Here’s the rundown:

• RP opened the show with a visit from Sportsnet’s Arash Madani live from the Blue Jays spring training complex in Dunedin, FL. News broke Tuesday morning that Tiger Woods plans to play in The Masters and the panel debated why it’s such a huge story, and what Tiger’s meant to the game of golf. Arash then went into the outlook for the Blue Jays and said spring training was a success as the team’s heading to Toronto 100% healthy. They open the season Friday at home to Texas. Arash answered tons of viewer questions and said the Blue Jays plan to be playing fall ball.
• Moose Dupont joined the show in segment two and the guys covered these Quick Six show topics: 1) Tiger Woods and The Masters, 2) Monday NHL leftovers, 3) The NHL’s 3 Stars of the week are headlined by Connor McDavid, 4) The March Madness final was historic, 5) Alphonso Davies wins CONCACAF Player of the Year, and 6) The hosts’ thoughts on Cody Fajardo not being offered a contract extension by the Riders just yet. (The panel agrees with the decision).
• Toronto Maple Leafs great Rick Vaive joined the show from Toronto to discuss Auston Matthews’ pursuit of Vaive’s single season Leafs goals record of 54. Matthews tied it with a hattrick in Tampa on Monday and looked to break the mark Tuesday night in Sunrise, FL. Vaive said he’s enjoying watching Matthews’ season and will be happy when the Leafs forward eventually breaks it. Rick reflected on the 1981-82 season when he set the record, and the history of the Leafs since.
• College Hockey Inc. Executive Director Mike Snee joined the show to preview this week’s NCAA Mens Hockey Frozen Four in Boston and breakdown the field. He examined the big name Canadians in the tourney – including Michigan’s Owen Power – and the growing popularity of the tournament.
