Weekend Sports Huddle

WRSP Radio presents the second episode of the second year of Weekend Sports Huddle with co-hosts Tom Pollin, Hunter Hodies and producer Dave Holcomb.

The Chicago Blackhawks said a couple months ago change is coming, and it is here in a big way. Wing Marian Hossa shocked the hockey world by announcing he will be forced to sit out the 2017-18 season because of a skin condition. In all likelihood, he is going to be forced to retire. But conpriacy theorists would argue this actually benefits the Blackhawks.

Furthermore, the Blackhawks pulled off a pair of trades Friday that shipped out two parts of the team's core. Our loyal Chicago host Pollin will debunk all conpiracy theories and share his reaction to the trades on the show.

About a month ago, the Pittsburgh Penguins said they were going to get meaner. Well, they followed through on their promise too. Trading their first-round pick and a prospect, the Penguins acquired Blue tough guy Ryan Reaves. Our hosts will also react to this strange deal.

In the second half hour, we'll take a look at Kyle Schwarber's season. The Chicago Cubs demoted the young masher to Triple-A Iowa on Thursday. Pollin will explain why it had to be done while Holcomb will argue this was Joe Maddon's doing.

To end the show, our hosts will take a look at the once again loaded MLB All-Star ballots and take a look at which players aren't getting the votes they deserve.
