A Trio of Former Pros Join the Show

Nick Kypreos, Justin Bourne and Sam McKee celebrate Justin's belated 40th birthday before discussing the Maple Leafs' matchup tonight against the lowly Anaheim Ducks, and the difference between the playstyles of Ilya Samsonov and Matt Murray. Then, four-time Stanley Cup winner and current Ducks' special assignment coach Scott Niedermayer joins the show (23:12) to discuss his role with the team, training with Trevor Zegras, and how the league has changed since he was playing. Later, Kelly Hrudey (41:42) shares his thoughts on the Calgary Flames, if the goalie position is less important now, and if the Leafs seem different this year. Finally, former NHLer Scott Gomez (1:22:55) talks the New Jersey Devils, and shares stories from his playing career about Sidney Crosby and Lou Lamoriello.
