Summary

Jeff and Greg start out by discussing Auston Matthews missing a second straight game, Toronto’s inability to play well at home and if we might see a Game 7 in Boston. Next, they try and figure out what Pierre-Luc Dubois is, how Quinton Byfield has overtaken Dubois as the heir apparent to Anže Kopitar and the future of Rob Blake. To finish up, Jeff and Greg weigh in on how players are starting to evolve and why the Dallas-Vegas series should probably be over already. The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the hosts and guests and do not necessarily reflect the position of Rogers Sports & Media or any affiliates.

This is the Jeff Merrick Show on the Sportsnet Radio Network.

And with that, we bring along from ESPN and the Drop podcast, our good man, Greg Wischinsky.

0:14.0

Hello, Gregory. How are you?

0:16.6

Better than you, apparently. What's up with you this week? You're right?

0:38.4

I don't know, man. Like last Friday, I was cool. It was all good. Went to work. No problem. Getting ready to watch hockey the whole night. And then like around 7.30, the sweating and the shivering. And here comes the cold medications. And here comes the cough, and now I can't sleep,

0:42.9

and where did this headache come from, and why aren't the drugs taking the headache away,

0:44.2

and what does this all mean?

0:50.1

And there's the not being able to fall asleep, and then there's being awake and watching a Saturdays full of games and not remembering anything from any of them,

0:53.8

because I was just pumped up on lack of sleep and various drugs and just kind of went from there, Greg.

1:01.0

And I think I'm okay today. I tried to work on Tuesday and that was a mistake.

1:05.0

But I'm back today, sort of. I can see if I can make it through the next 60 minutes.

1:10.0

This is unusual.

1:11.4

You've given us a lot of information about your medical well-being. You do realize you're in

Toronto. Yeah, I know. No, I know. They guard it like secrets here. Just look at Austin Matthews.

1:24.3

It's a cold. No, it's got to be a broken arm. No, you sure it's not his back? He's just got food poisoning. We've heard it all, Greg. And the answer is nobody knows. Yeah, but the good news is that for all of the Austin Matthews coverage, you guys already had your Willie Nealander stories. So you just had like a find and replace for Austin Matthews' name.

1:44.7

Pretty much.

1:45.5

Medical mystery.

1:46.6

It just warmed everybody up for it.

1:48.2
