Real Kyper & Bourne

Former president, general manager and head coach Doug MacLean joins for his weekly chat (1:12) with Nick Kypreos and Justin Bourne to chat about why the Maple Leafs have the highest chance of not making the playoffs for the 2025-26 season, if he would swap Morgan Rielly and Darnell Nurse, who he would add to Team Canada's forwards list, the New York Islanders' dominant road trip, if the Habs core is good enough to win a Stanley Cup, and responds to Bill Simmons proclaiming that the Blue Jackets are the most irrelevant franchise in professional sports. Then, Nick, Justin and Sam McKee touch on Connor Bedard getting fired up with an official after arguing a penalty, before heading to the Text Line to hear from listeners!

Keeping Adam Lowry Long-Term with Kevin Cheveldayoff

Nick Kypreos, Justin Bourne and Sam McKee look ahead to the Leafs' matchup against the Columbus Blue Jackets, where they will have Scott Laughton back but still be without Auston Matthews and Anthony Stolarz. They react to today's update that Stolarz's injury is more serious than originally thought, discuss Matthews' availability issues in recent seasons, and ask if the captain will ever return to his Hart form. Then, they get into Calle Jarnkrok's move to the top line, Jacob Quillan's potential, and whether the quick ramp-up will become too much for Joseph Woll. Finally, Aaron Portzline (34:05), Blue Jackets reporter with The Athletic, shares his impressions of Columbus through 20 games, Kirill Marchenko's superstar potential, Yegor Chinakhov's future with the team after demanding a trade, and much more.

Why It’s Still Too Early to Write Off the Oilers

Steve Valiquette joins Nick Kypreos and Justin Bourne (6:45) to chat about the fallout from the Edmonton Oilers' loss to the Buffalo Sabres, Joseph Woll's return in net for the Toronto Maple Leafs, Anthony Stolarz's regression in blocking shots and connection to a weak defence, the correlation between shot attempts being down while pucks are still getting by goalies, and Jonathan Quick taking charge in a post-game brawl. Then on Grill the Panel, Steve asks how much a goaltender can move on a left-sided faceoff, when goaltenders should start backing up on an offensive breakaway, and more.

Leafs Hour: Brad Treliving's Quarter Pole Press Conference

Later, they look at the defensive lines at practice with Troy Stecher drawing in for Philippe Myers and Brandon Carlo being moved to the IR, and they chat about William Nylander's quiet last couple of games after being called out in practice by Craig Berube.
