Description
Nick Kypreos, Justin Bourne and Sam McKee are back together and kick off 2023 by discussing Canada's overtime win over Slovakia in the quarterfinals of the World Juniors, Connor Bedard's imposing stretch and which NHL teams should consider tanking for him. Two-time Stanley Cup champion and Hockey Night in Canada broadcaster Craig Simpson joins the show (41:24) to catch up with the Leafs and discuss tonight's matchup against the St. Louis Blues, Matt Murray vs. Ilya Samsonov, concerns for John Tavares' offensive production and if he should be moved out to the wing. Later, Blues' general manager Doug Armstrong gives his take (1:06:44) on his team's season so far, how he approaches team-building and trades, and why his system is geared for success in the playoffs.

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).
