Real Kyper & Bourne

Nick Kypreos, Justin Bourne and Sam McKee get set for the Maple Leafs' matchup against the Buffalo Sabres. They react to Jim Hiller's jumbled, 11-and-7 lineup and discuss the lack of production from the depth forwards, Kirill Marchenko's next steps, whether Chris Tanev's week-to-week status forces the Leafs to make a move for a defenceman, and if the Leafs need an enforcer in their bottom six. Later, MSG Sabres analyst Rob Ray (32:35) stops by to discuss Buffalo's start to the season, their new additions, and how Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen has navigated through trade rumours.

Then, he chats about Linus Ullmark's hot start, early impressions of Sergei Bobrovsky's Leafs tenure, the environments around goalies in Vancouver, Calgary and Philadelphia, why the Canadiens' young tandem of Jacob Fowler and Jakub Dobeš is the best in the NHL right now, and whether the Avalanche could be a player in the Connor Hellebuyck sweepstakes.

Nick Kypreos, Justin Bourne and Sam McKee look ahead to the Leafs wrapping up the road trip with a game vs. the Mammoth. Will the team play the way they played the Avalanche or is there danger of a letdown with the end of the west coast swing coming up in Utah? They get into the ailing d-corps this early in the season, the potential return of John Tavares to the lineup (and the power play), the goaltending the team gets from either Anthony Stolarz or Sergei Bobrovsky, the future value of Artur Akhtyamov in net compared to that of Stolarz, and what they've seen out of Kirill Marchenko so far. Plus, Mammoth GM Bill Armstrong (30:19) stops by to discuss a 4-2-0 start, adding some youth and size in the offseason, the evolution of Nick Schmaltz, and how Utah might be primed for some big moves with lots of assets and cap space at their disposal.
