Description
Nick Kypreos, Justin Bourne and Sam McKee start with the big story from today with Shane Pinto receiving a 41-game suspension for activities related to sports wagering, if the league got it right and how his lack of contract complicates things. Then, onto the Leafs who head to Dallas to take on the Stars for their biggest test of the young season, Joseph Woll earning the start, when Ilya Samsonov will get another shot and stagnant puck movement on the top line. They are joined by Predators' forward and former Leaf Ryan O'Reilly (26:14), who discusses his upcoming return to Toronto on Saturday, his start in Nashville and reflects on his short stint last year with the Leafs. To close, the guys reflect on O'Reilly's unceremonious exit in the offseason, some encouraging play from Jake McCabe recently and evaluate the bottom six with Pontus Holmberg in for Fraser Minten.
