OverDrive
Duthie on Celebrini's case for the Hart Trophy, the World Juniors experience and the Maple Leafs' successful run
08 Jan 2026
Chapter 1: What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
There he is. J.D., come on in. We're just talking about you having someone else sacrifice their lives for the betterment of your survival.
Good World Juniors for me. I apparently didn't go to the gym, used a female producer as a human shield, and then pulled a... move where I let the guy drive the rental car back because I wanted to get into the lounge faster. You know, he talked a lot about winning a Canadian Screen Award. That was kind of the theme.
He kept texting me every night going, Jimmy, I think I got one hand on the Canada Screen Award.
Chapter 2: What insights does James Duthie provide about the World Juniors?
And I said the only screed award he will ever win is for best fictional program, Overdrive. Yeah. Because of the lies that are told.
So what, did you just try to keep me interested in the tournament when you said if you keep going, there's a chance? Yeah, there was no shot.
He's got a shot. I think he got a shot.
I told him he had a shot, but it kind of went down the hill when Canada lost in the semis because you don't win screen awards for bronze medal games.
I've got to be honest, and I didn't text you guys, I thought you'd show up for the goal. I thought you'd say, you know what, I'm already here, I'm in the building.
Are you high, dude?
We had a legit discussion of whether he was going to stay around for the bronze.
I know. This was a direct quote in front of the crew. I don't do bronze.
That should be a t-shirt. I've never done it before. I didn't think it was. As soon as they're not in contention for the gold, I thought I went home.

Chapter 3: How did Canada perform in the World Juniors tournament?
No problem. Great idea, Frankie says. We pull all the luggage out. I'm pulling the luggage in. I find a spot inside the door. I go back, get more luggage. I'm like, oh, just to the left. I got the luggage by the left. So I go out, get the last one. I come back. I look. He's gone.
Right to check in. We had the conversation yesterday. How many grown men does it take to stand by luggage?
Also, wait, wait, wait. How much luggage do you guys have? It's not a foxhole thing. It's a foxhole thing. It's a foxhole thing. What is it?
It's a foxhole moment. It's driving off in the cart, and you find your own ball. It's kind of a scenario like that. How many guys do you need to search for the ball? James is there helping.
Why do you guys have so many backs?
You're in the weeds.
Well, because we're there for 12 days. A lot of suits. We didn't wear one suit the whole time. The World Juniors. One suitcase.
Dale Hunter, that thing.
One suit. How many suitcases do you guys bring?

Chapter 4: What are the Maple Leafs' recent performance highlights?
And every year I kind of perk up and say, guys, if McDavid never wins one of these things, we're going to look like idiots. And it's always, you know, there's a hammer thrower or something. I'm not saying that. There's been good, worthy winners. Shay had to win.
Chapter 5: How do the Maple Leafs compare to other teams in the NHL?
But I think there was a point three years ago where McDavid, you can make a really valid thing. And I can't remember who won it. Probably an Olympian or something. That was the year I was like... And again, you know, Summer McIntosh. They're all valid winners. But I do not like the idea of McDavid going through his career and not winning Canada's Best Athlete Award.
It's not possible.
But it is possible.
It is possible. Because, again, he's in year 11 and he hasn't won it. But that was my point.
Who won the Northern Star of the Year? He got 164 points.
I'd have to look.
Jonas, check it out.
It might have been Shea. Shea, I would say. Shea, this is won it twice. Shea, go to South.
This might be the year because there's no Summer Olympics. If they win the gold medal and he plays any sort of role, even a role like the Four Nations last year where he scores the winning goal, and then he wins the heart, I almost don't even care what he does in the playoffs. The problem is, like, Shea's won it two years in a row now. So that's one where I would lean.
