WEDNESDAY RUNDOWN: TSN’S DAVE POULIN!

Wednesday was a detour from our normal game plan, and it worked out fantastic on Episode #367 of The RP Show – Canada’s Daytime Sports Talk Show! Here’s the rundown:

• Rod and Dupes opened with The Warmup for the Four Seasons Sports Palace covering these Quick Six show topics: 1) Fred Sasakamoose stories, 2) MLS Playoffs – One and done for Toronto FC, 3) Should the NHL sell sponsorship of jerseys and the Stanley Cup? 4) The CFL is investigating spending to the salary cap floor (minimum) in 2021, 5) Cody Fajardo’s tiff with Justin Dunk, and 6) To the Eagles fans: Is it time to sit down QB Carson Wentz?
• Tanner Brightman from Hoop Factory and Golden Ticket Sports joined the show to discuss his basketball training facilities and camps between Lloydminster and Regina, and everywhere in between. The former Basketball Saskatchewan employee talked about the explosion of basketball’s popularity across Canada and he pointed to the Raptors’ NBA title, NCAA and CEBL.
• Saskatchewan Curling Tour’s Shawn Deis and IKS Media’s Paul Drouin joined the show to discuss a December pro curling stop which will be televised by IKS, with bubbles featuring curlers in Swift Current and Regina’s Highland Curling Club.
• The daily Capital Auto Mall/Universal Collision Centre poll question was: Should the NHL sell sponsorship to jerseys and the Stanley Cup? Over 70% of Twitter respondents said no.
• Hour 2 was simulcast on Game+ TV and Facebook Live and we were joined by TSN analyst and long-time NHL’er Dave Poulin. The Philadelphia Flyers great talked about all his great former Saskatchewan teammates including Brad McCrimmon, Brian Propp, and other prairie guys like Ron Hextall and Rich & Ron Sutter. The former University of Notre Dame coach went deep into a scouting story of going out to Wilcox, SK and almost getting lost! RP mentioned that there’s quite a synergy being created between the RP Show and Philadelphians since the show is carried on Philly cable TV. Poulin offered to come on anytime.
