Description
Nick Kypreos, Justin Bourne and Sam McKee start with the Leafs' win last night over the Golden Knights in Vegas. They get into one of the season's most impressive wins, a more balanced line rotation, how the Rielly/Greig incident rallied the team, Domi's expanded role and Rielly's return. Then, a wider view of the roster as is and why their recent win streak reinforces an 'all-in' approach to the deadline. They are joined by the Athletic's Joshua Kloke (35:59), who shares his thoughts on a more relaxed vibe around the Leafs' locker room, how this recent stretch has impacted their deadline plans and the evolution of their leadership group.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).
