Sportsnet

Nick Kypreos and Justin Bourne talk all things Maple Leafs and NHL! Airing live on Sportsnet 590 The FAN weekdays from 3-4 PM ET.

Real Kyper & Bourne

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. To wrap up, Nick, Justin and Sam McKee touch on Evan Bouchard's case for a spot on Team Canada.

Vally's View: How Are Pucks Getting Past Goalies?

Nick Kypreos, Justin Bourne and Sam McKee look back on Brad Treliving's press conference on Tuesday. They review each of the Leafs' GM's answers and discuss the timing of the presser, his confidence in Craig Berube's messaging, how his criticisms reflect on Auston Matthews' leadership, and the expectations for the offseason additions. Then, they discuss the potential impact of Treliving's comments on the team's play. Later, The Athletic's Jim Rutherford stops by (34:40) to help tee up the Leafs' matchup against the St. Louis Blues, parallels for Berube from his situation in St. Louis to now, what's behind the Blues' disappointing start to the season, and Jordan Binnington still searching for his form.

Leafs Hour: Brad Treliving's Quarter Pole Press Conference

TVA Sports' Ren Lavoie (4:39) joins Nick Kypreos and Justin Bourne to weigh in on if he would dive a bit deeper into what happened with Jack Hughes' off-ice hand injury, why the Montreal Canadiens' recent skid doesn't negate the positives to their start to the season, Toronto Maple Leafs being handcuffed from moving pieces and why it needs to be a big change to break through, the Habs' 'rebuild' being over, Ryan O'Reilly expecting himself to be traded away, Brendan Shanahan's potential return to an NHL front office, and if the league will get involved in the New York Rangers and Detroit Red Wings bench clearing brawl. Then, Nick, Justin and Sam McKee dive deeper into the Rangers-Red Wings scrum and the unwritten rules of hockey, Matthew Schaefer's impressive rookie season, and Adrian Kempe's 8-year contract extension with the L.A. Kings.

What Team Changes Could Be On the Horizon?

Nick Kypreos, Justin Bourne and Sam McKee look back on the Leafs' 3-2 loss to the Chicago Blackhawks on Saturday, Toronto's fifth straight loss. They get into the Leafs' elevated effort despite the loss, Joseph Woll's return to the ice, power play struggles and Easton Cowan's heavy workload. Then, they discuss whether the Leafs should take drastic action — be it a coaching shake-up or a trade — to attempt to salvage the season. 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.

Leafs Hour: Is This a Season Worth Saving?

Former NHL President and GM Doug MacLean (2:25) joins Nick Kypreos and Justin Bourne to weigh in on how the Toronto Maple Leafs aren't playing as a team through their tough stretch, if it's possible to change the 'culture' mid-way through the season without firing the head coach, the similarities how the year has unfolded for the Leafs and Edmonton Oilers, and why Jim Rutherford is avoiding the word 'rebuild'. Then, Nick, Justin and Sam McKee look at the status of the 2026 Winter Olympics' rink and the concerns from the NHL before heading to the text line for some Q&A!

Then, CHSN and NHL on TNT analyst Darren Pang joins the show (37:17) to help tee up the Leafs' matchup against the Blackhawks on Saturday, weigh in on what Toronto's biggest flaw is, and discuss Connor Bedard's third-year jump.

Leafs Hour: Approaching an Uncomfortable Conversation

Nick Kypreos, Justin Bourne and Sam McKee look back on another overtime win for the Edmonton Oilers over the Flyers and whether they're back before welcoming in long-time NHL coach Peter Laviolette (5:24). He discusses his time away from the bench, the league's youth movement, the increased importance of speed in the modern game, what's different for the Leafs in a second year under Craig Berube, and his potential return to the league. Later, Nick, Justin and Sam react to the Tkachuk brothers starting a podcast, Rasmus Andersson trade rumours and what his next contract might cost, the Senators locking up Shane Pinto to a four-year, $30M extension, and they remember the legendary Hall of Fame hockey writer Larry Brooks.

Modern-Day NHL Coaching Practices with Peter Laviolette

Nick Kypreos, Justin Bourne and Sam McKee share their expectations for the Leafs' game against the L.A. Kings without Auston Matthews, who is sidelined with an injury, how Matthews could be weighing his options to participate in the 2026 Winter Olympics in a similar situation towards last year's Four Nations Face-Off, William Nylander's thoughts on if it is harder to score goals versus playing defence, reaction to the front office and David Kämpf agreeing to terminate their contract together and what could be next for him, and why a trade for Flames' defenceman Rasmus Andersson wouldn't work. Then, Kings' President Luc Robitaille joins the guys (31:41) to chat about Anže Kopitar's longevity and future in the NHL, Corey Perry's contributions to the Kings' offence, contract talks with Adrian Kempe, and Quinton Byfield's development.

Leafs Hour: Matthews Sidelined + Kempe's Contract with Luc Robitaille

Former NHLer and Sportsnet colour analyst Garry Galley (3:25) joins Nick Kypreos and Justin Bourne to chat about if Kevin Lankinen is ready to step into the role as the Vancouver Canucks' top goaltender with Thatcher Demko out with an injury, the demand around Connor McDavid on and off the ice, why the Montreal Canadien's goal this season is nothing more than reaching the playoffs, and the buy-in from the Anaheim Ducks. Then, Nick, Justin and Sam McKee touch on the reasons why Nikita Zadorov did not want to fight Max Domi, and who they would choose to start an NHL franchise today.

McDavid's Mental Toll

Nick Kypreos, Justin Bourne and Sam McKee look back on the Leafs' bad 5-3 loss to the Boston Bruins. They discuss the team's response to Nikita Zadorov, a lack of team toughness, and whether the Leafs can dig themselves out of this poor stretch. Then, they get into Auston Matthews and Anthony Stolarz's injuries and how the Leafs will fare in their potential absences. Finally, they weigh in on whether the issues stem from coaching or personnel, who is first on the block if the front office starts feeling desperation, and the consequences of potentially missing the playoffs.

Leafs Hour: Panic Button

Nick Kypreos, Gord Stellick, and Sam McKee kick off with a discussion on the Leafs' reported interest in Mikko Rantanen and Brayden Schenn and who the team should prioritize at the deadline. Then, Leafs head coach Craig Berube (10:50) joins the show to discuss his brand of hockey, the lead-up to the deadline, how 4 Nations intensity helps Mitch Marner and Auston Matthews and much more. Later, Leafs radio analyst Jim Ralph (34:10) reflects on the unexpectedly stellar goaltending in Toronto this season, Matthews' recent scoring woes and the team's biggest need at the trade deadline.
