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).
