Leafs Hour: Has the Passion Returned?

Nick Kypreos, Justin Bourne and fill-in producer Daniele Franceschi recap the Maple Leafs' 5-4 win against the visiting New York Rangers, Troy Stecher netting the game-winning goal late in the third period, the reaction from the Leafs' bench, how Jim Hiller has envisioned his fourth line, the team calling up defensemen Dakota Mermis and Cole McWard after Marshall Rifai & Nick Blankenburg have been placed on injured reserve, and why they did not recall Ben Danford. Then, Leafs radio colour analyst and former NHL goaltender Jim Ralph (28:10) joins Nick and Justin to weigh in on the game against New York, if Sergei Bobrovsky has lived up to his expectations, the state of Toronto's d-core, how the team's identity has changed throughout the lineup, why he thinks save percentage has gone down drastically, and Leafs' first meeting against the Edmonton Oilers.
