Stuart Forreal and special guest (and die-hard Leafs fan) Rick Rowley take a deep dive into the messiest week in hockey. We aren't holding back on the controversy surrounding Gavin McKenna, the consensus 2026 No. 1 overall pick. With assault charges looming, we ask the tough questions: Is he innocent? And if the Vancouver Canucks end up with that first-round pick, do they still take the risk?
Plus, it’s a tale of two cities heading into the 2026 Olympic Break:
The Toronto Maple Leafs are on fire with three straight wins—including a statement victory over Edmonton. Rick gives us his first-hand account from the arena.
The Edmonton Oilers are sliding, having dropped three in a row. What is going wrong in Oil Country?
Olympic Fever: With the NHL’s best heading to Italy, we break down Team Canada’s roster. Is gold a guarantee or are we in for an upset?
Grab a drink and settle in—No Pucks Given, all opinions welcome.
The McKenna Case: As of Feb 6, 2026, prosecutors have withdrawn the felony aggravated assault charge, but he still faces a misdemeanor simple assault charge. This is a huge talking point for your "innocent or not" segment.
The Standings: The Canucks are currently sitting at the bottom of the league (approx. 42 points) with the best odds (25.1%) for the #1 pick.
The Rivalry: The Leafs just beat the Oilers 5-2 on Feb 3rd, led by Matias Maccelli’s two goals.
