Real Kyper & Bourne

Nick Kypreos and Justin Bourne welcome back New York Rangers analyst and CEO of Clear Sight Analytics, Steve Valiquette (5:38) to chat about if there's a path out of a rebuild for the Rangers, why the Colorado Avalanche are the winners coming out of the trade deadline, if the red-hot Buffalo Sabres have the right goaltenders for a deep Stanley Cup Playoff run, why Tristan Jarry's comments about his blueline could haunt him heading into the later stages of the season, what has changed for Brandon Bussi before and after the Winter Olympics, why the Pittsburgh Penguins could slip down the standings, and if the L.A. Kings can sneak into the post-season picture. Then, Vally brings back Grill Marks and asks Nick, Justin and Sam McKee who is the most consistent goalie, the most consistent bad goaltending, and which goaltender has the wildest swings. Afterwards, Nick, Justin and Sam discuss Alexander Ovechkin revealing what factors will lead him to decide to retire from the NHL.
