About this episode

Young Ottawa Senators centre Shane Pinto has been handed a major suspension related to the league’s gambling policy. While it’s not clear what exactly his violation of the rules was, the league says there were suspicious activities on his account on a sports betting app. Postmedia’s Ottawa hockey columnist Bruce Garrioch joins me to discuss the nature of the allegations, why the league leveled such a large penalty and what this says about the NHL’s relationship with sports betting.
