Handy work, Spider-Man, the Birds of Summer… and tonight's action between the Oilers and Predators.

The FAN Morning Show goes into its final hour of Wednesday with Ben Ennis and Brent Gunning looking at the Maple Leafs who are in action tonight. They dive into the goaltending situation, as well as the players like Matthew Knies who have thrived in Craig Berube's system and others who they hope to see get on the scoresheet (looking at you, Auston). Luke Gazdic, former NHLer and Sportsnet analyst, shares why Edmonton's slow start could be a hangover effect after the team's Stanley Cup run, along with the impact of Toronto's re-vamped blue line featuring Chris Tanev. Later, we turn our attention back to baseball's postseason with MLB Network's Adnan Virk (26:55). The three get into who holds the upper hand in both the American and National League, what adjustments Dave Roberts and the Dodgers maybe need to make, and what matchup would be most ideal for the World Series. Today's show ends with Ben and Brent looking at the upcoming hockey schedule and giving you a game to watch with your buds! 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.
