Canada's Soccer Heartbreak + Leafs Keys to a Brighter Future

JD Bunkis kicks things off recapping Canada’s loss against Belgium in their opening match at the World Cup and the disappointment he felt afterwards. Soon after, voice of Hockey Night in Canada Craig Simpson joins to discuss the Maple Leafs' impressive win over the red-hot New Jersey Devils, just how good Mitch Marner has been lately, and if there is cause for concern with Auston Matthews' play (31:47). Later, former Canadian soccer player Iain Hume adds to the Canada-Belgium conversation to discuss if the result can be considered unlucky, how the Canadian side can adjust for their next match, and the level of concern surrounding John Herdman's future with the program (53:12). Next, JD, Josiah, and Boffo sort through the NFL's Thanksgiving Thursday slate to find their best bets of the day, presented by DraftKings! Afterwards, two-time Stanley Cup champion Mike Futa shares what we can learn from the Leafs after a recent slew of injuries, how often General Managers talk around the league, and the options for Toronto to improve their roster (1:29:03). We wrap up by taking a look at some intriguing prop bets, before closing the show with the biggest stories we missed today!
