S5 EP04 Roundtable: Tony Antoniou, Chris Carrabs & Jake Cardinale
8:28 – ALL STAR GAME (ASG) Tony’s experience working the NHL ASG at Scotiabank Arena How much did the panel watch either the NHL or NBA ASG Should all sports leagues try to make their ASG more competitive? 25:23 – MORGAN RIELLY SUSPENSION Panel’s thoughts to the suspension. Was five games too much? Is it unfair to compare the Rielly hit to the Pierre Turgeon/Dale Hunter hit or the Dennis Wideman hit to a linesman in 2016? Are retaliatory hits due to lack of enforcers on NHL teams? 45:03 – Is there a ‘lack of respect’ for the sports they play? 52:02 – SAFETY IN SPORTS (After the Adam Johnson death during English professional hockey game) Should players be mandated to follow new equipment guidelines? Should guidelines be fluid as freak injuries take place? Has the panel’s equipment increased as they play recreation sports / beer leagues? Should leagues threaten suspension if equipment guidelines aren’t met? 1:08:02 – RAPID FIRE SEGMENT: STRAIGHT FACTS / BRO RELAX Toronto FC will end it
