Real Kyper & Bourne

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.
