Leafs Hour: Is it Tougher to Play in Toronto?

Nick Kypreos, Justin Bourne and Sam McKee start with a conversation around the developing narrative about Toronto media's influence on the Maple Leafs. Then, they discuss the Leafs calling up Michael Pezzetta ahead of their Thursday-night matchup against the Ducks, Easton Cowan's promotion to the top line, and what Morgan Rielly needs to show down the stretch to save his value. Then, Hockey Hall of Famer and Ducks special advisor Scott Niedermayer joins the show (34:15) to discuss Anaheim's development this season, the impacts of veteran voices like Chris Kreider and Jacob Trouba, the Joel Quenneville effect, and much more.
