Description
Kyper, Bourne and Producer Sam open with a chat about the season dragging on and the difficulty coaches may have in keeping players engaged, Sheldon Keefe's comments on resting players, whether Matthews should be sitting more as the season wraps, the Leafs' play against the Sabres, the potential for the game to be a chippy affair, and how the team's special teams look (2:48). Next, Jason York stops by to comment on why it won't be hard for Sheldon Keefe to keep his players engaged as the postseason approaches, why he believes the Lightning would be the preferred opponent for Toronto as opposed to the Bruins, the tough question of resting Auston Matthews, and why veterans don't like sitting (26:48). Afterward, Ed Olczyk shares his thoughts on Auston Matthews, if the Lightning or Bruins would be the better first-round playoff opponent for Toronto, managing rest ahead of the postseason, the Golden Knights' playoff push, the amount unproven goalies across the league heading into the postseason, and the futures of Jonathan Toews and Patrick Kane in Chicago (42:32).Watch on YouTube.The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the hosts and guests and do not necessarily reflect the position of Rogers Sports & Media or any affiliate.

Time to Reshape the Leafs' Second Line?: Kyper, Bourne and Producer Sam chat about how the Leafs' Next Gen jerseys looked last night in their matchup against the Devils game, the tripping call against Mark Giordano that was reversed, and how the defenceman looked in his blue & white debut (2:18). Next, they touch on Petr Mrazek's outing, Pierre Engvall's short-handed game winner, and the second line's struggles (17:26). Then they discuss the Leafs' dangerous penalty kill, how Colin Blackwell looked on the fourth line, and Jason Spezza being 10 points away from 1000 (30:41). Afterwards, Aaron Ward touches on what Giordano brings to Toronto's locker room, his ability to close space in the defensive zone, whether the Leafs have a depth line that can be successful in the playoffs, the Leafs' defence corps and pairings, whether the Ducks should've kept Hampus Lindholm, and his thoughts on the Western Conference (41:18).
