Nick Kypreos, Justin Bourne and Sam McKee kick off the week with a recap of... the World Cup Final? The guys share their thoughts on the similarities between hockey and soccer, the game ending with penalties and the Leafs' title drought vs. Argentina's drought. Afterwards, they break down the Leafs' 5-2 loss on Saturday to the Washington Capitals (8:40), a confidence-shaking game from Ilya Samsonov and the ineffectiveness of a five-forward powerplay. Later, Leafs Nation's host Gord Stellick (43:00) breaks down the Leafs trading Denis Malgin to the Avalanche for Dryden Hunt and what role the Buds' newest addition will have going forward. Finally, former NHLer and Hockey Night in Canada broadcaster Garry Galley (1:04:45) discusses the NHL's Christmas freeze-out, Alex Ovechkin's goal-scoring pace and goes coast-to-coast evaluating the Canadian teams. 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 affiliates.
