Bring on the B's

Nick Kypreos, Justin Bourne and Sam McKee kick it off with last night's nasty game between the Lightning and Rangers, Tampa finding their playoff intensity and if the Leafs can match that tonight against the Bruins with Ryan O'Reilly returning to the lineup. NESN Bruins analyst Andy Brickley joins the conversation (20:56) and discusses the team's health, what to expect from Linus Ullmark in the playoffs and how seriously Boston will take tonight's game. Then, NHL Network's Bruce Boudreau gives his take on Michael Bunting's issues with officials, coaching the stretch run, managing stars' egos and takes a look at the Western Conference playoff race (42:30). Finally, former scout and Sportsnet.ca columnist Jason Bukala shares his perspective on Matthew Knies, draft-day wild-card Matvei Michkov and some of his favourite prospects he's keying in on (1:05:59).
