4:30 – Steve Simmons of Sun Media

Joined the show from Florida and discussed the concerns that teams have during spring training. John Gibbons is very low key and he wants a club that shows up and does the job and Brett Lawrie is very passionate and is wound up. They're total opposite personalities and they've come to like each other. The Toronto Maple Leafs have a lot of positives this year, they're in a good position in the standings and Randy Carlyle has done a great job with this team.

5:00 – TSN Hockey Insider Bob McKenzie

Informs Dave and Kate that there is a month until the NHL trade deadline. The Florida Panthers need to move veteran players in order to start to rebuild this year because they aren't having the same success as they did last year. With the shortened season, everything is more intense so it is harder to gage the buyers and sellers. The Edmonton Oilers are still rebuilding and they might not make the playoffs this year, but they are growing and will eventually be a playoff team.

5:30 – Senior VP of Player Safety and Hockey Operations Brendan Shanahan

Discusses the discrepancies of hits and how there are different types of hits and how the impact players. The process of going through the steps to decide on a suspension is up to the employees who watch every game and send it to Shanahan and there are assessments that are made individually by a number of people. Patrick Kaleta's history did have an impact on the hit against Brad Richards, however, he knows that if he has another incident like this, it won't be good. Injuries are considered when giving out suspensions.

6:00 – Bill Pangos, York University Basketball coach

Talked about his son Kevin attending the number one ranked Gonzaga. Kevin knew in grade 11 that all he wanted to do was play basketball. He wanted to stay in Canada and wanted to graduate with a Canadian high school diploma. He didn't need to go down south to get experience in basketball. Basketball Canada did a great job that put together a program for basketball. Gonzaga did a great job with recruiting and they find international players and execute unselfish team play.

6:15 – TSN Hockey Insider Darren Dreger

Talks about Korbinian Holzer after signing a two-year extension and how he is a player that needed the right opportunity and has proven himself. Jake Gardiner suffered a concussion and is playing with the Marlies in the AHL. He was sent back for conditioning reasons, down there he is getting the minutes and the experience and is ready to play in the NHL, but the Leafs aren't ready bump anyone back down. Randy Carlyle is in a good position because there is a lot of depth in the line up.

4:00 – Bruce Arthur co-hosts with Dave and are joined by Dave Feschuk

Converse about the Brad Richards hit from behind. They discuss the severity and seriousness of hits from behind where in minor hockey and pick-up hockey, hits from behind have paralyzed players. Suspensions are determined after the hit is committed. Players that are more skilled than others, such as Brad Richards, aren't protected against hits that can hurt them and their careers. Paul Kariya once said that star players have to be protected and that reckless play has to be stopped.

4:15 – Mike Brown is headed to Edmonton now because the Maple Leafs have other guys who are willing to fight and keep the physicality of the team. He isn't the type of player that makes or breaks a team. The Leafs aren't better this season because of the fighting, they're better because their penalty kill has improved and their goalies have been outstanding. Fights and standing up for teammates mean something to players in terms of being part of a team, but when looking at fights and statistics, they don't impact teams' wins or goals.

4:30 – The Raptors have to develop their players right now. Terrence Ross has to play minutes because there is no immediate future of this team. In order to improve the franchise, there has to be standards. Dwane Casey wants to win every game possible to further his coaching career, it's not always as simple as to play their young players. Coaches and GM's should be hired at the same time so that they can come and go at the same time. The Raptors aren't famous outside of Toronto, which isn't a great record.

4:45 – In the "Nayled It or Failed It" segment they debate whether or Magic Johnson's decision to put up $1 million will entice LeBron James to participate in the Slam Dunk Contest. Baltimore Ravens' quarterback Joe Flacco signed the biggest contract in NFL history signing $20.6 million over six years, did the Ravens nail it or did Flacco nail the Ravens? Continuing with the topic of contracts, the LA Angels renewed Mike Trout's contract for $510,000...Nayled or Failed?

5:00 – TSN Hockey Insider Bob McKenzie

Sheds light on the hit on Brad Richards, because it was Patrick Kaleta who was the one who hit him. The suspension will not be more than five games. He believes that hitting from behind has to be enforced more and taken out of the game to protect players. Roberto Luongo won't be traded to the Florida Panthers because if they really wanted him, they would have had him already. Now that Vancouver has been winning and he is playing, he doesn't want to leave to go somewhere where there is no playoffs. He still has to waive his no-trade clause and the decision is ultimately up to him.

5:30 – Patrick Burke, founder of You Can Play

Discusses the one year anniversary of his organization. It has been a very positive and encouraging year where the hockey community has backed up the foundation a lot. He believes that there is going to be an athlete in hockey that will come out to the media and announce that he is openly gay. The organization does real work with athletes and is hoping to expand to team up with the NFL, NBA, etc.

5:40 – Brad Gushue, Skip of team Newfoundland and Labrador

Discussed how teams shuffle players around to mix it up after a few years. After the Olympic year next year, there will be teams that change their rosters. The rocks that they will use in Sochi will be different because when throwing the rocks, they have a different outcome every time. It is a skill to be able to tailor the throws after a few turns. If this is the set that they use in Sochi, the benefits are that players get a chance to use them at the Brier.

6:15 – TSN Hockey Insider Darren Dreger

Talked about the history of Patrick Kaleta and his dirty and dangerous plays. The fact that Brad Richards was able to return to the game is the only reason that he didn't get a suspension of double digits. There was interest in Mike Brown, he has a role and is a tough guy and an honest player, but the role outside of the enforcing type role, his ice time was going to diminish. When there are quality guys like Matt Frattin that are ready to come back to the lineup, you have to make that move. Ben Scrivens and James Reimer have been playing well and goaltending isn't a top priority for the Leafs before the trade deadline.
