To wrap up the hit, Dave unrolled his macro notes and power rankings on the remaining teams across the CFL board.

We got the third hour started with Mr Mikes Kind of Easy Trivia. 
 
It was then time for Three Questions Too Many presented by Park Mazda.
 
ESPN's Greg Wyshynski locked down the final segment of today's jam-packed show. We kicked things off with a global perspective, getting Greg's thoughts on Team USA's tough elimination match at the World Cup yesterday. Then, we plunged straight into deep hockey water, starting with the local scene as Wysh it analyzed Stan Bowman's aggressive free agency blueprint and the landscape-shifting decision to trade Darnell Nurse to San Jose. From there, we tackled the multi-million dollar question sweeping the league: Will the Ducks match Philadelphia's toxic $90M offer sheet, or is Leo Carlsson officially a Flyer? After a quick temperature check on the Florida Panthers' latest roster adjustments, we wrapped up the program by diving into the squared circle with Wysh's ultimate take on the latest news and storylines in the WWE.
