Description
Nick Kypreos, Justin Bourne and Sam McKee open with last night's Leafs' win over the Rangers in their final game of the season, William Nylander getting to 40 goals, Mitch Marner missing out on 100 points and if Matthew Knies proved enough in his limited action to warrant some time in the playoffs. They are joined by David Amber (22:52) who discusses the mental aspect of the Leafs/Lightning series, the impact of Ryan O'Reilly's experience, and the possible consequences if the Leafs can't get it done in round one. Then, Doug MacLean - on for his Off-the-Rails Firday visit (40:12) - shares his thoughts on the Leafs' bottom six finally ready for a run, why Knies shouldn't be rushed into the lineup, why it's now or never for this core and some playoff matchups he's keying in on. Finally, Oilers Now's Bob Stauffer gives an outlook for Edmonton's first round matchup against the Los Angeles Kings, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins' career season, the irreplaceable impact of Mattias Ekholm (1:04:07).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.
