Hour 1
2:05 – Starting Lineup

Nothing. Team Canada is going home from the World Juniors with nothing. Team Canada is going home from the World Juniors with nothing for the second year in a row. Czechia has been the one to send them home with nothing in both of those years. TSN’s AJ Jacubec was on the call for those games and gives his thoughts on what happened.
Hour 2
3:05 – Tom Gulitti, NHL.com
The NHL is back in full swing after their Christmas break. Last night we saw Alexander Ovechkin score and move to 24 goals behind Wayne Gretzky’s all-time scoring record. There is some spark with the Washington Capitals with the return of Ovi. Should everyone be watching out for the Capitals as we head towards the 4 Nations break?

Former Detroit Lions and current host of “SportsWrap” on 760 WJR in Detroit, Lomas Brown, joins The Green Zone to help preview this biggest game that wraps up the NFL regular season. The Lions take on the Minnesota Vikings. 1st place in the NFC is on the line!
Hour 3
4:05 – What Happened To Team Canada?
Canada lost last night to Czechia in the quarter final round and for the 2nd year in a row, the Canadians go home without a medal. It was not a good World Juniors tournament for Canada this year? What went wrong? Was it the players not playing to their potential? Was it the coaching? Was it the players that were and weren’t selected to the team? Or has Hockey Canada lost a step while other countries programs continue to improve? We want your calls on what went wrong with Team Canada at the World Juniors!
