Chapter 1: What impact do extreme cold temperatures have on Canadian life?
This hour of Overdrive is powered by FanDuel. FanDuel, bringing you everything from the opening line to the final score.
All right, here we go, Overdrive off and running. TSN 1050 on the TSN app, your home smart speaker up on TSN4. Of course, up on YouTube Live as well, Brian Hayes, your dog Jeff O'Neill, and Dave Festruck of the Toronto Star in here. How are we doing this afternoon? Festruck, how's it going? Nice to see you.
Great to see you, Doug. We're surviving the cold here, man. Hayes and I. There's a breeze blowing through this studio. Are we at zero? We might be at zero.
Yeah, it might be. It is survival mode.
Chapter 2: How did the Maple Leafs perform against the Wild?
It is the ultimate icebreaker for every conversation in Toronto right now. Nobody is running into somebody and not bringing up the weather. It's an immediate icebreaker.
Hayes. We're grinding through. It's all good. I was not aware of it. But it's a Canadian thing. It's like somebody on Twitter or something, it was just something random I came across, and they're like, Canadians, it's generally the second go-to move where it just goes to the weather. Like, oh, it's going to be nice for the next couple of days. Or like, man, have you ever seen it this cold before?
It's just what we do.
You're right. It's a quality of ours.
It is.

Chapter 3: What challenges are the Canucks facing this season?
It's just like, how's it going? And then, man, it sure is sunny out. Or I don't remember it ever being this cold at this time of year. It's just an automatic thing. It's an automatic combo.
I did a little shopping today. Last time I did that was, of course, when I was Christmas shopping, and I sprinkled in a couple of things for myself because... We announced yesterday we're going to the Super Bowl. Really excited. I don't know if you're aware of it, but the set we're at, it's like a low couch. No, dude.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Yes, I'm telling you, this is what you have to be prepared for. I'll stand behind it.
Dude, if I sit on a bad angle and I cannot do it, I'm bringing my own chair, dude.

Chapter 4: What insights does Mike Johnson provide about the Maple Leafs' trade deadline outlook?
My boiler sticks out and I get like a neck thing and I look like I cannot do that. i thought the picture we were sent was a joke i need an old school like panel i need a chair talked in behind the panel i do not need anything i couldn't go on jay show and sit there and sit back and enjoy a conversation. I'll sit behind the desk with them. I'll stand behind that couch.
I'm not going on that couch.
Right, because I have seen you do the Jay thing. You're always at the panel, which I have found somewhat curious. I'm like, why don't they do the walkover and do this? Obviously, you've put in a request that that's not something you're willing to do.
Well, usually I don't wear a full suit. There's another reason. I need a panel. That's my jam.
I'm telling you, you've got to be prepared.

Chapter 5: How are goaltending choices affecting NHL teams' performances?
There's a potential we're doing a kind of a loungy... living room-type, really cool setup. That's not us. It possibly could be for three days. Wow. That's what we've got to be prepared for. So I don't ever care about shoes. I've got brutal shoes on right now. Brutal shoes.
Shoes are not a priority for me. I have Crocs on right now. Right. I will take that setup we got at... The President's Cup, where we were tucked back, looking in a corner, basically saying, this is the only place we want to put you guys, and the only way we're going to allow you here is right there. I'll take that spot.
Chapter 6: What role is Connor Ingram playing with the Oilers?
That was Critter Corner, I believe they called it. Critter Corner. They could not have tucked us.
further away from anybody dignitaries general public and admission we were pretty tucked but we had a great time anyway i mean i could be wrong maybe things are going to change but i thought of that today i'm like i better go out and got a maybe a new pair of shoes you know because the shoes we could be on tv we're down there representing tsn and fanduel boiler i
Oh, I wasn't thinking of you specifically, but myself included. I'm like, this could be, you know, if it's a low couch, dude, it could be a beanbag situation. I might have you in a beanbag.
If you throw me on a beanbag, people will turn the channel. I'm telling you, you know how I get with this stuff. I am not sitting on that couch. I will hang over the back of it so my mouth is... So my mouth is near your mic, and we'll use the same mic. Okay. I'll lean over like this, and I'll be beside your head, just over the back of the couch.
Just your head at the Super Bowl.

Chapter 7: How do injuries impact team dynamics in the NHL?
That's it. Wilson from Home Improvement. You're going to be that guy at the Super Bowl. So anyway, the reason I bring that up is I was meeting with people or running into people, and one woman brought up, she's like, this is the worst winter since 2014. I'm like, how do you remember that? But that's... Like a Canadian, that's like an older generation of Canadians. Yes.
That I was impressed with her Canadian knowledge of weather because I brought it up, man. It's pretty cold. She's like, oh, yeah, it's cold. I don't remember a winter like this since the days of 2014. I'm like, man, that's impressive. That's an impressive pull.
What does she do?
Chapter 8: What strategies can teams employ to improve their playoff chances?
Keep a diary about the temperatures? I guess.
But I was thoroughly impressed. Like I wasn't prepared to go that deep. Like we're comparing winters now. This is some wild stuff.
Yeah, because for most of us, they all kind of blend together.
They all blend together. It's all garbage and awful.
You know it's been cold like this at some point, but what point?
No, since 2014, Dave. Yeah. This is the worst since 2014.
I think it's with age, guys. I don't know if you guys catch yourself saying stupid stuff, but I have caught myself over the last couple years When it gets cold like this, I kind of said to myself, I don't remember it ever being this cold.
Yeah, it's a good line.
It's a very good line. I don't throw it out in public. I just keep it to myself, but I'll toss it out there. Man, this is the coldest I think I've ever been in Ontario.
