Episode Notes

Nick Kypreos, Justin Bourne and Sam McKee look back on the Toronto Maple Leafs' 6-3 loss to the Minnesota Wild to kick off a five-game homestand. They discuss the gap in talent between the two teams, another tough game for Joseph Woll, Matthew Knies' injury, Jake McCabe's recent dip, and whether that increases the Leafs' interest in trading for a puck-moving defenceman like Dougie Hamilton. Later, former NHLer Brad May (32:03) shares his thoughts on the Leafs' play as they kick off their homestand, parity in the Eastern Conference, Auston Matthews' resurgence, and what's changed for the Sabres in their recent hot stretch.
