Description
Nick Kypreos, Justin Bourne, and Sam McKee look back at the Maple Leafs' OT loss to the Islanders and discuss Erik Källgren's performance, giving up a tying goal to New York to force an extra period, the need to create separation in a close game, Rasmus Sandin dropping the gloves against Oliver Wahlstrom after a dangerous hit to Austin Matthews, and how the blue line will look like with Morgan Rielly being placed on the IR. Then, New Jersey Devils head coach Lindy Ruff (41:13) joins the guys to discuss the major change between the 2021-22 Devils team in comparison to this year's squad, his type of coaching style, how Dougie Hamilton has altered his game after his jaw injury, and was asked if he had helped the late Clark Gillies get an interview for the New York Islanders. Afterward, Sportsnet hockey analyst Anthony Stewart (1:04:55) jumps on to chat about the state of the Leafs' defensive core, why he believes Sandin will have a bigger role moving forward, Nick Robertson struggling to find a role on the main roster, and if the expectations of being one of the best goal scorers are weighing on Auston Matthews.
