Ben kicks off the hour with Ren Lavoie from TV-A Sports Montreal with the news that Carey Price will start the season on LTIR and might not even play this season at all. With a new set of executives, managers and coaches, it is really an end of an era. The Price contract alone marked their life tougher if and when when he gets healthy. Later (26:00) we stay in The Bronx with Marly Rivera from ESPN as the Yankees are in complete free fall since the MLB deadline. Aaron Judge has been incredible but it feels the team is relying too much on him to carry them. Finally (40:00) we speak to the founder of 3ICE which is a 3 on 3 league airing on CBS. It has radical rules like 2 halves with a running clock, continuous play and no faceoffs. Coaches range from John LeClair to Grant Fuhr and Guy Carbonneau. The Commissioner is Craig Patrick. EJ explains why the NHL is paying attention, the rules it might adopt and removing parts of hockey where there is a lot of stalling on offence.

MLB – Major League Baseball Last Night Detroit Tigers 3, San Francisco Giants 2 Los Angeles Angels 4, Chicago White Sox 1 Chicago Cubs 8, Cincinnati Reds 3 Tigers 3, Giants 2 – Haase’s two-run HR allows Tigers to hold off Giants 3-2 Eric Haase hit a two-run homer to break a 1-all tie in the sixth inning and the Detroit Tigers held on to beat the San Francisco Giants 3-2. It was Haase’s fifth home run of the season and his second in the last three games. Miguel Cabrera also drove in a run for the Tigers, who improved their league-worst road record to 11-23 and split the two-game series. Rony García won his third consecutive start for Detroit. Gregory Soto pitched a perfect ninth for his 15th save in 17 opportunities. Evan Longoria had a first-inning home run for the Giants. San Francisco starter Alex Wood fanned six in 5 2/3 innings but took the loss. Angels 4, White Sox 1 – Ohtani Ks 11, extends scoreless streak in 4-1 win over WSox Shohei Ohtani extended his scoreless streak to 21 2/3 innings while pitching five-hit ball into the sixth with 11 strikeouts in the Los Angeles Angels’ 4-1 victory over the Chicago White Sox. Luis Rengifo hit a two-run homer and Mike Trout had an early RBI double as the Angels finished their disappointing nine-game homestand on a positive note because of their two-way superstar’s work on the mound. Ohtani yielded five singles and a walk while winning his fourth consecutive start. The AL MVP hasn’t allowed a run since the fifth inning of his brilliant outing at Boston’s Fenway Park. Cubs 8, Reds 3 – Contreras homers, Morel also goes deep as Cubs beat Reds 8-3 Willson Contreras homered, Christopher Morel also went deep and nailed a runner at the plate with a terrific throw from center field, and the Chicago Cubs beat the Cincinnati Reds 8-3. Contreras got hit by a pitch and scored on a double by Ian Happ against Hunter Greene in the first inning. He made it 5-0 in the fifth when he lined a two-run drive against Luis Cessa for his 13th homer — tops among major league catchers — and also doubled twice. Morel helped Justin Steele escape a bases-loaded jam in the fourth when he caught Donovan Solano’s line drive and fired a one-hop laser to the plate. Morel added a two-run homer in the sixth. Cincinnati has lost 9 of 12. Tonight Cincinnati (Ashcraft 4-1) at Chicago Cubs (Hendricks 3-6), 8:05 p.m. Tigers and White Sox are off MLB – St. Pete mayor reopens talks on future of Rays stadium site The mayor of St. Petersburg, Florida, is reopening talks about the future of the Tropicana Field site where baseball’s Tampa Bay Rays play their home games. Mayor Ken Welch said Wednesday that two previous proposals for the 86-acre downtown location are being scrapped, with a new round of plans to be solicited beginning in mid-August. Welch, St. Petersburg’s first Black mayor, has made a priority out of including such things as affordable housing and greater job opportunities along with Rays baseball. Welch said the goal is to choose a new redevelopment plan by year’s end. The Rays’ lease is up in 2027 and Welch said the new plan will include a stadium at the site. NBA – AP source: Harden declines $47M option with Philadelphia James Harden is taking less with hopes the Philadelphia 76ers can do more.

When Dominique Ducharme was diagnosed with COVID-19 during the 2021 playoffs, Richardson helped lead the Canadiens to their first Stanley Cup Final since 1993.

You've heard his name brought up countless times on this podcast by other guests, but this week Eddie Mio joins us to share HIS side of the story. He's an icon in the hockey world, both to fans and teammates, and his career put him on a path through the WHA and NHL alongside the likes of Wayne Gretzky, Mark Messier, and Grant Fuhr. He may not have won a Stanley Cup with them, but there's a reason why Grant Fuhr wore number 1 in his first year, and Wayne Gretzky asked Eddie to be the Best Man at his wedding. He's a fantastic story teller with tonnes to say about his experiences in the league, and the way in which the NHL Alumni has been supporting its past players.
