Description
Nick Kypreos, Justin Bourne and Sam McKee kick it off by breaking down the Leafs loss to the Boston Bruins on Saturday, including Conor Timmins' critical blunder, where Morgan Rielly fits, if it's time to reunite Auston Matthews and Mitch Marner on the same line and the confidence level with Matt Murray as the number one. They are joined by former NHL executive and Sportsnet hockey analyst Mike Futa (41:11), who discusses the energy Wayne Simmonds brings to the team, the Leafs' need for a true number one defenceman and who they would need to trade to get one. Then, former Leaf and host of Chiclets Game Notes Colby Armstrong joins the show (1:06:10) to chat about the yo-yoing Penguins, flashiness vs. nastiness on the Leafs and the need for both, and why Seattle is the Cup contender no one is talking about. Kyper, Bourne and Sam close out with a break down of Canucks' president Jim Rutherford's press conference today.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.

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).
