4:15 – TSN Hockey Insider Darren Dreger

Explains that there is still question in regards to if Joffrey Lupul will play tomorrow. He has been cleared to play and it was evident with the Dave Steckel trade that the Leafs are making room on their roster for him. If he returns tomorrow, there will be some rust, but they need him offensively. Nikolai Kulemin should be traded if there is still interest in him because he hasn't been able to put the puck in the net.

4:30 – TSN play by play voice Rod Black

Discussed his experience with figure skating. Figure skaters are one of the most athletic athletes and Patrick Chan is now on his way to becoming a World Champion again. He always peaks towards the bigger competitions and has a chance to win three times in a row. He is the best skater on the ice and his jumps aren't the best in the world, but he is a remarkable skater and when he makes the jumps, he can't be beat.

5:00 – TSN Hockey Insider Bob McKenzie

Gave his opinion on what the new divisions would be named after the realignment has been agreed to. He believes that it will be named geographically to keep it simple. Kris Versteeg is now gone for the year, has three years left on his contract, he was considered one of the players that would be moved prior to being injured. Ilya Bryzgalov was available as a free agent and that's when the Flyers took him and overpaid. The plan for the Flyers is to ride this out with the shortened season, they've had a lot of turnover in their line up. As the Leafs get closer to the deadline, they'll look around if both goalies don't play up to par, however, this season they've looked good so far. The closer Vancouver is on the bubble, the more likely it will be to take care of the Luongo deal.

5:00 – TSN Hockey Insider Bob McKenzie

Thinks that the Dave Steckel trade was a move of convenience in order to make room for Joffrey Lupul. Steckel has been the odd-man out the last few games and they decided to move him although his face-off skills and penalty killing skills were needed. The more games that the Leafs lose, the more pressure it puts on them to avoid repeating the chaotic ending to last year's season. The potential is there to move another winger onto the fourth line and McKenzie suggests that Leo Komarov will probably be that player. The Leafs are still trying to get a hold of the three guys from the AHL in the NHL lineup, and it is only a matter of time until Jake Gardiner comes back up. With so many graphite hockey sticks breaking in games, coaches may want players on the penalty kill to use a wood stick because they're stronger and break less.

5:30 – ESPN Business Reporter Darren Rovell

Didn't believe that the NHL would suffer because of the lockout, especially in Canada because there is no replacement for it. All the recent work stoppages have showed no signs of getting hurt. The Jets had the most expensive ticket in the NFL last year and it is because of demand, and all the teams think that they can go up from where they are. The only way to move forward in getting an NFL team in LA is to have an owner own the team as well as the stadium. As far as a hockey team in Seattle goes, it isn't the "if you build it, it will come" scenario.

5:45 – Kate Beirness

Is down at the Big Ten Tournament and updates the games to preview the semi-finals tomorrow. Michigan lost, however, because of their record during the regular season, they still qualify to be in the NCAA Championship tournament. With so much Canadian talent in the tournament, she profiles a few players to look out for in the tournament.

6:00 – Host of Off the Cuff Chris "Knuckles" Nilan

Discussed his new show on TSN 690 in Montreal. He talked about being a tough guy in the NHL and how he transitioned to being a host of the show. He had a decision to make after his career and wanted to go back to Montreal and live there. The Last Gladiators is a documentary about hockey, but it focuses mainly on Nilan.

6:15 – Head Coach of the Toronto Marlies Dallas Eakins

Explained how much being in the playoffs benefited the Marlies because it allowed the team to play in different scenarios. He discussed how Ben Scrivens has come a long way since last year. When Nazem Kadri came out of training camp this season, he looked like he was ready to play in the NHL because the player he is today wasn't the player he was two years ago. Jake Gardiner drives his team in practice and is progressively getting better since his concussion, for the amount of time a player it out, it takes about the same amount to get back.

Hour 1:

Cathal Kelly co-hosts with Dave and are joined by ESPN NFL Business Analyst Andrew Brandt and Carmen Bailey, owner of the Hillbilly Heaven restaurant. Hour 1 Audio

Hour 2:

Dave Naylor and Cathal Kelly are joined by Bob McKenzie, Rob Rossi and Ed Stefanski. Hour 2 Audio

4:30 – ESPN NFL Business Analyst Andrew Brandt

Described his reaction to Wes Welker's decision to sign with the Denver Broncos. Danny Amendola signed with the New England Patriots right after the Welker signing and they're both the same type of players. He believes that the talks got emotional between Welker and the Patriots and he just decided to go elsewhere. The best teams are willing to say goodbye and move on. Football is about scouting, so teams have to trust that the scouts will find players who can replace the older ones.

4:45 – Carmen Bailey is the owner of Hillbilly Heaven

Restaurant based out of Hamilton that has the Confederate Flag logo on his restaurant. Hamilton Tiger-Cats' owner Bob Young has urged Bailey to remove the flag and replace it with a Hamilton Tiger-Cats flag. Bailey tells his story about why he keeps the flag and what he counter-proposed to Young.

5:00 – TSN Hockey Insider Bob McKenzie

Gave his opinion on what the new divisions would be named after the realignment has been agreed to. He believes that it will be named geographically to keep it simple. Kris Versteeg is now gone for the year, has three years left on his contract, he was considered one of the players that would be moved prior to being injured. Ilya Bryzgalov was available as a free agent and that's when the Flyers took him and overpaid. The plan for the Flyers is to ride this out with the shortened season, they've had a lot of turnover in their line up. As the Leafs get closer to the deadline, they'll look around if both goalies don't play up to par, however, this season they've looked good so far. The closer Vancouver is on the bubble, the more likely it will be to take care of the Luongo deal.

5:30 – Rob Rossi of the Pittsburgh Tribune Review

Compared Sidney Crosby when he first entered the league and where he is now after suffering his concussion. He spent the entire lockout in Pittsburgh with Chris Kunitz and Pascal Dupuis skating on the same line so that when the lockout was over, they were right where they left off. Rossi explains that Crosby was testing himself mentally and physically last year when he first came back after his concussion, where now he is more relaxed and comfortable. The Penguins are getting killed on the penalty kill, they take too many penalties and don't really shut teams down.

5:45 – Toronto Raptors VP of Basketball Operations Ed Stefanski

Talked about March Madness. He states that this year's draft was a good year to not have a pick because of the Rudy Gay trade. The core of the Raptors have been set for next season. Terrence Ross has been playing like a rookie which was expected, however, he believes that by next year he will be a better player. They are a better team after acquiring Gay. Andrea Bargnani is under contract for two years and the team has to use him. His confidence level is down and they have to bring it back up. Ross has shown the staff that he can be a starter in the league and has to learn when he has the outside shot and when to drive the basket.

Hour 1:

Dave Feschuk co-hosts with Dave and are joined by Michael Landsberg host of Off The Record and TSN Hockey Insider Bob McKenzie. Hour 1 Audio

Hour 2:

Dave is joined by TSN analyst Sam Mitchell, Richard Griffin of the Toronto Star, and Mike Sunnucks of the Phoenix Business Journal. Hour 2 Audio

Hour 3:

Dave is joined by Matt Sekeres from The Team 1040 and TSN Hockey Insider Darren Dreger. Hour 3 Audio

4:30 – Host of Off The Record Michael Landsberg

Joined TSN Drive and discussed the increase in season tickets for the Raptors and the Maple Leafs, as he is a season ticket holder himself. Season ticket holders will keep buying tickets for the Maple Leafs although prices went up 2.5%. The Leafs haven't been a winning team and fans are paying top dollar for two team that hasn't made the playoffs in a while.

4:45 – TSN Hockey Insider Bob McKenzie

Discusses the four-game suspension for Corey Perry. He is technically not a repeat offender, he had a four-game suspension before in 2010 for elbowing Claude Giroux. He doesn't believe that Perry meant to hit Jason Zucker but he has the mentality of finishing your check. Fourth line players are making close to $1 million a year to do what they're told to do.

5:00 – TSN Analyst Sam Mitchell

Talked about Wes Welker testing free agency and has decided to leave the New England Patriots and sign with the Denver Broncos. Andrea Bargnani needs to prove himself, he is a great player 18 feet from the basket and has a mean streak in him, but it's hard to get out of him. When organizations have a high pick, like Bargnani, coaches are always conscious about how they treat them. Previewed the upcoming NCAA March Madness tournament. There is speculation and discussion about expanding the tournament and letting in more teams. Gonzaga is going to have a chance for the first time to win the championship because they are a team playing with juniors and seniors and are playing against teams that are playing only seniors.

5:30 – Richard Griffin of the Toronto Star

Updates spring training, with Sergio Santons and Casey Janssen who have both battled injuries, questions arise about who the closer will be. Brett Lawrie will play if he feels that his ribs aren't getting in the way of his play. With Bargnani out for the remainder of the season, he has now been sent to the bottom of the list when it comes to helping the team. There has been speculation that the Blue Jays will move out of Dunedin for spring training but Griffin believes it is a long shot.

5:45 – Mike Sunnucks of the Phoenix Business Journal

Talks about the new mayor in Glendale and how the Coyotes story has been quiet. There has been talks going on for a while but there are a lot of negatives that doesn't make it likely that the Coyotes will stay. There are certainly people who want to keep a team in Phoenix however it doesn't look good. The deal is fatigued and the city has been in favour to keeping the Coyotes, but the new owners don't seem to have the same views.

6:00 – Matt Sekeres of The Team 1040

Mentions how the Vancouver Canucks have dropped off over the last few weeks, they just don't have the same depth that they had a few years ago and are playing without Kevin Bieksa. The biggest concern is that they don't score goals anymore and it wasn't just the Daniel Sedin and Henrik Sedin scoring the goals, there was a contribution from all forwards. Over the last few years Vancouver has always been at the top and have cruised to a division title and were never tested, now they're having a more difficult time in the western conference. The topic of goalies for the Canucks arose and there isn't much of a market for Roberto Luongo right now. He is playing great and he has a chance to run with the ball and play more games, however, there is more of an intrigue on who will leave Vancouver. The Seattle Seahawks needed a receiver who can change the game and Percy Harvin has a lot of skill.

6:15 – TSN Hockey Insider Darren Dreger

Discussed the impact that head coach of the Toronto Marlies Dallas Eakins has had on Jake Gardiner. Maple Leafs coach Randy Carlyle isn't ready to bring up Gardiner at this point. Toronto will probably go into a stretch, they're on a three-game losing streak right now and it may go longer. The Leafs are circling in their own zone instead of just getting the puck out. Carlyle has a certain way of running things and those players that understand what he wants will get the ice time. There has to be reason for concern when it comes to goaltending because James Reimer hasn't been the same since he got back, however, the biggest concern is defense.

Hour 1:

Steve Simmons co-hosts with Dave as they're joined by Chuck Strouse of the Miami New Times and simulcast with "Hustler" and Gary Lawless of TSN 1290. Hour 1 Audio

Hour 2:

Dave and Steve Simmons are joined by TSN Hockey Insider Bob McKenzie, Executive Director of NHLPA Don Fehr, and ESPN NFL Analyst Herm Edwards. Hour 2 Audio

Hour 3:

Dave and Steve are joined by Jay Skurski of the Buffalo News, TSN Hockey Insider Darren Dreger, and Jim Nelford, TSN Golf Analyst. Hour 3 Audio

4:15 – Editor of the Miami New Times Chuck Strouse

Explained how the MLB approached him for records of players using PEDs but they refused because they were working on a story. After seeing different owners screw over the fans, we didn't want to hand over the documents. He later ranted about Jeffrey Loria and how he despises him.

4:30 – In the "Nayled it or Failed it" segment

The controversial shootout attempt taken by Kaspars Daugavins has resulted in a lot of backlash from fans and media opposing the attempt. As Lost Angeles confirms their interest in hosting the Olympics once again in 2024 there is speculation that Toronto might jump in the race if the Pan Am games go well. Chris Williams tweeted that he "ain't going back to Hamilton" and wants to go back to the NFL...Nayled or Failed?

4:45 - Dave simulcasts with the TSN 1290 "Hustler and Lawless Show" out of Winnipeg

is joined by Gary Lawless and Andrew Paterson as the Leafs are visiting the Jets. MLSE has announced today that they will be raising ticket prices of Leaf games by 2.5% although they already have the highest average ticket price with Winnipeg in second. There are only 15,000 seats in the MTS Centre so there is a higher demand to watch the game and a lower supply of tickets. They preview the game and how Toronto has been so successful on the road.

5:00 – TSN Hockey Insider Bob McKenzie

Discussed the shootout attempt by Kaspars Daugavins and Paul McLean's choice to give his players freedom to be creative. He wants players to be able to express themselves. He knew what he was in for and after the game he said "I thought to myself, buckle up!". Daugvins' shootout attempt got the attention it did because he didn't score, but if he had, it would've been on the highlights all night. Montreal deserves to be taken into consideration to be a playoff contending team, but Boston and Pittsburgh are likely teams to make the Eastern Conference finals. Boston is the most solid team, they're tough, they have skills, they can win by a blowout, and even by one goal. When Pittsburgh plays their highest intensity game, they're unbeatable, but they are inconsistent.

5:30 – Executive Director of the NHLPA Don Fehr

Discussed the topic of mandatory visors. The players held the view that visors have to be a matter of individual choice, it is the responsibility for the PA to inform players of safety. There has been a proposal to grandfather a rule that players who are already in the NHL may continue to play without a visor, but those who are drafted must wear one since they have been their whole life. Fighting and staged fighting has been a facet of the game and has been a subject of internal discussions. He hopes that realignment will spark team rivalries and keep fans interested. In an abstract sense, expansion has come up, the NHL has not advised that they have any specific plans to expand, but if the league believes that it will benefit everyone, the players will be all for it. All players would like to have the opportunity to play in the Olympics, however there are many matters that have to be dealt with first.

5:45 – ESPN NFL Analyst Herm Edwards

Highlighted the many free agent signings of the day. When it comes to Mike Wallace, the Steelers felt like there was a certain offer to give him and if he didn't want it then they would let him go. It will be interesting to see him in Miami and if he will handle the pressure being the number one guy. Anquan Boldin did a great job but the Ravens don't want to pay him the money that he thinks he deserves, so they decided to trade him to get something instead of just giving him away. The Ravens are now Joe Flacco's offensive team and no longer a defensive team. After releasing Ryan Fitzpatrick the Bills are ready to start over and draft a rookie quarterback.

6:00 – TSN 1050 Blue Jay Beat Reporter Scott MacArthur

Discussed how Italy enforced the mercy rule on Canada after up 10 runs, 14-4. Josh Johnson played exceptionally at spring training, he was scheduled to only throw for three innings, however he was so efficient that they brought him back in for the fifth inning. Russell Martin signed with the Pirates and is getting used to a new pitching staff. He did his team and country a total disservice.

6:00 – Jay Skurski of the Buffalo News

Discussed the release of quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick. The Bills were ready to try to take a new direction. A rebuild has to start at the draft and they have to take a quarterback in the first round although this year's draft isn't deep with quarterbacks like last year. To replace a guy like Andy Lavitre will be tough, they made a decision that while he has been a durable and solid player, he never made an all pro team.

6:15 – TSN Hockey Insider Darren Dreger

Discussed the support that Kaspars Daugavins had for his shootout attempt. It wasn't a smart move because if you can get the extra point against the Bruins you should be traditional and have a legitimate attempt. Randy Carlyle is a defensive coach and he believes that having a solid goaltender is what will make a cup contending team. Jake Gardiner is developing into a style of player like Nicklas Lidstrom. He previewed the trade deadline and players who are entering the end of their contracts and what he predicts will happen with them.

6:30 – TSN Golf Analyst Jim Nelford

Was recently named to the Canadian Golf Hall of Fame and discusses the time he had representing Canada in professional and amateur events. It is a great recognition at the end of a career. Growing up and competing against players in the PGA tour was a dream come true and when he was at his best, it was a great experience. It is great for the game when Tiger Woods wins, his short game suffered for several years and when he was recovering, there were players coming up who weren't afraid to win.

Hour 1:

Bruce Arthur co-hosts with Dave as they're joined by Steve Simmons and discusses the WBC, the Maple Leafs, Tiger Woods, and Nayled it or Failed it. Hour 1 Audio

Hour 2:

Dave is joined by TSN hockey Insider Bob McKenzie, host of The Reporters Dave Hodge, and Dan Shulman ESPN voice of MLB and NCAA basketball. Hour 2 Audio

Hour 3:

Dave is joined by Manager of Canada for the World Baseball Classic Ernie Whitt, TSN Hockey Insider Darren Dreger, and 2013 Brier Champion Brad Jacobs. Hour 3 Audio

4:00 – Bruce Arthur co-hosts with Dave and they're joined by Steve Simmons

Discussed team Canada at the World Baseball Classic. The WBC creates baseball games that actually matter, to play against the United States. It brought the baseball community in Canada together.

4:15 – After the Maple Leafs lost to the Penguins, they discussed the chances that the Leafs have to make the playoffs and make a run in the eastern conference. Joffrey Lupul has practiced with the Leafs after missing 23 games this season and there is no timeline yet to when he will return, however, he will add an more depth to the lineup. They debate who the number one goalie is in Vancouver and if Roberto Luongo will stay there for the remainder of the season.

4:30 – Tiger Woods won his 76th tournament, however, it all comes down to the amount of majors that he wins. He wants the record and his name on the top of the list. The world has seen him unable to drive, make putts, fall off the board, so now the fans will want to see a comeback story and see him play at the level he was at. If he does come back, there will be talk that his marriage is what negatively impacted his golf game.

4:45 – In the "Nayled it or Failed it" special NFL edition, Percy Harvin was traded today to the Seattle Seahawks, possibly making room for Greg Jennings. The Pittsburgh Steelers have cut James Harrison and are also letting Mike Wallace go to the Miami Dolphins. There were reports that Tony Gonzlaez wouldn't be able to make another shot at the Super Bowl if he returns to the Atlanta Falcons. Anquan Boldin is scheduled to make $6 million this season...NAYLED OR FAILED?

5:00 – TSN Hockey Insider Bob McKenzie

Discussed realignment and believes that it is finished although the Board of Directors still need to vote. There are going to be some teams that are not happy about it. The second that the Blackhawks didn't win a game, there are talks about how horrible they are. Calgary believed that they were going to be a playoff team this year, now they have to sit and look at Jerome Iginla and Miikka Kipprusoff and decide what to do with him. Evgeni Malkin is out with an upper body injury, but it is not a concussion, it may be a shoulder problem or rib problem. Vancouver needs the right deal for Roberto Luongo so that they can roll the dice with Cory Schneider.

5:30 – Host of The Reporters Dave Hodge

Talks about the impact that the NHL lockout has had, the Blackhawks' run has kept fans entertained, Sidney Crosby has been electric and doing what he is supposed to. There were talks about Gary Bettman being dismissed from his job, but the NHL has thrived so much that he will be there in 2020. The topic of fighting arose as there are fans who do not want to watch hockey because of the number of fights this season. With the Olympics less than a year away, debates about whether or not the NHL will go arises.

5:45 – ESPN voice of MLB and NCAA basketball Dan Shulman

Talks about Canada and Mexico's brawl at the World Baseball Classic. From the American perspective, if they win the tournament they'll make a big deal of it. From the far east countries, they're not concerned about it. It definitely brought more attention to the tournament, but they have to figure out how to get more of the top players from each team to participate. Pitchers also have to risk their arms to participate in the tournament and it has to be worth it.

6:00 – TSN 1050 Blue Jay Beat Reporter Scott MacArthur

Discussed how Italy enforced the mercy rule on Canada after up 10 runs, 14-4. Josh Johnson played exceptionally at spring training, he was scheduled to only throw for three innings, however he was so efficient that they brought him back in for the fifth inning. Russell Martin signed with the Pirates and is getting used to a new pitching staff. He did his team and country a total disservice.

6:00 – Manager of team Canada Ernie Whitt

Discusses his team in the World Baseball Classic and his expectations. They needed to get production from the big hitters, there was a lot of individual skill, but they needed to play as a team. When talking about the pitching depth, the team had to make due with what they had. After the brawl with Mexico, he explains how every inning is played as a one-run inning and he doesn't like the concept that you have to pound a team in order to advance. If there were more players who were committed to playing and want to play for Canada, it would be a better team.

6:15 – TSN Hockey Insider Darren Dreger

Discusses the NHL player costs as well as projected revenues after the lockout. The $300 million "make whole" will have to be dealt with soon. With Joffrey Lupul on the verge of returning back to the Leafs lineup, Randy Carlyle has a decision to make on whether or not he should be put right on the first line and break up the chemistry between James van Riemsdyk and Phil Kessel. Tyler Bozak is not a top line centre, at some point they have to find a top line centre to fix the missing piece of the puzzle.

6:30 – 2013 Brier Champion Brad Jacobs

Reflected on his win this past weekend. Ever since curling became an Olympic sport, all curlers try to be in good shape because the game has changed. In the Brier, teams have to be in top physical shape because it is such a long tournament and it takes a toll on the body. it is hard to get to the Brier and once you get there, it's unbelievable.
