Description
Nick Kypreos, Justin Bourne and Sam McKee begin with a brief look back at the Super Bowl and the controversial end to the game before checking in on the Leafs' home-and-home over the weekend against Columbus. They discuss the team's effort levels against poorer teams, William Nylander showing his greasy side and the problems with the bottom six. Then, former NHLer Anthony Stewart discusses the conditioning challenge coming back from the All-Star break, the importance of Michael Bunting's antics and assesses Sheldon Keefe's season (41:44). Long-standing NHL head coach and NHL Network's Bruce Boudreau breaks down Keefe's comments about effort and passion, what the Leafs need to do at the deadline and shares some stories and the challenges he faced from his time in Vancouver (1:04:54). Kyper, Bourne and Sam close with a chat about available defencemen at the deadline and their pricetags.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).
