Nick Kypreos, Justin Bourne and Sam McKee open with the rumours that Kyper is involved in the sale of the Ottawa Senators before they touch on last night's Leafs' win over the Blue Jacket, the boost to the bottom six since the deadline, concerns starting to mount for William Nylander and John Tavares, and Morgan Rielly turning up his offensive game. They are joined by Rangers analyst Stephen Valiquette (42:25), who looks at the Leafs' goaltending situation, the positive impact of Mattias Ekholm on Stuart Skinner and what a Rangers-Devils series could look like. Later, Ken Wiebe, Sportsnet Jets columnist, tees up a high-stakes game between Winnipeg and the Flames tonight, which players are under the most pressure and how missing the playoffs can alter the Jets' offseason plans (1:05:56). The guys close with a conversation about the Western Conference playoff picture.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.
