Description
Nick Kypreos, Justin Bourne and Sam McKee begin with a look at tonight's Leafs game against the New York Rangers, the matchup against Igor Shesterkin, Sheldon Keefe running with the same line mix-ups and which goalie they think Keefe has more faith in. They are joined by former NHL goalie and Rangers studio analyst Steve Valiquette (21:26), who discusses Matt Murray's struggles when the game is tied, the NHL's need for a 'Drive to Survive' type documentary and the weight of expectations on Shesterkin. Next, ESPN's Kristen Shilton shares her thoughts (41:40) on William Nylander's under-the-radar season, this year's lucrative trade deadline and if it's worth shaking up a winning formula for a one-year rental. Then, former NHL forward Mark Recchi jumps on to discuss (1:07:18) the challenges new head coach Rick Tocchet might run into with the Vancouver Canucks, building relationships with the core group, and how teams find motivations during the regular season ahead of the post-season.

A Knies Addition for the Leafs: Kyper, Bourne and Producer Sam open with a chat about the Lightning's acquisition of Brandon Hagel from Chicago, the likelihood of the Panthers adding Claude Giroux, where Andrew Copp might end up, and whether the Leafs adding Marc-Andre is a possibility (0:30). Next, they discuss Toronto's win over the Hurricanes, Erik Källgren's outing, the play of the team without Auston Matthews, Michael Bunting's performance against Carolina, whether Matthew Knies can make a big impact with the team, and Toronto's penchant for taking bench minors (12:40). Afterwards, Doug MacLean phones in to talk about what's next for Dubas at the deadline, the Hagel deal, Matthew Knies, Källgren's style of play, John Tavares needing support on the second line, and the team's too many men penalty against the Canes (42:55).
