With Team Canada's official roster announced, JD and James Mirtle from The Athletic break down what has become Canada's biggest weakness in hockey: goaltending (00:00). JD and James also list a couple points of interest heading into the 4 Nations Face-Off tournament (10:00). James then outlines just how good the Maple Leafs goaltending has been, if Auston Matthews and Mitch Marner should be reunited as linemates, the Leafs' lack of centre depth, and David Kampf as the odd-man out. Legendary broadcaster from ESPN NFL primetime, Chris Berman, chats about about playing football in stadiums with and without roofs, why the Buffalo Bills' time is now, and seeing Sidney Crosby play in (50:00). Martin Brodeur, Hall of Fame Canadian goaltender, talks about the feeling of playing in best-on-best international hockey, the pressure on Team Canada in the 2002 Winter Olympics, the roster selection process, USA Hockey's growth, Canada's goaltenders and the impacts of prioritizing goaltending tandems (1:14:00).
