Real Kyper & Bourne

Then, they evaluate Craig Berube's lineup decisions through a quarter of the season and whether the Leafs could benefit from a coaching change. Later, the guys go through the Leafs' potential trade options if they decide to sell at the deadline and discuss the flawed way they handle injury information.

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.
