Buds on the Brink

Nick Kypreos, Justin Bourne and Sam McKee open with last night's Leafs Game 3 loss going down 3-0 to the Panthers, a disappointing showing from the core, the Leafs lacking toughness, Sheldon Keefe's strategy, potential changes for the Game 4 lineup, Samsonov's injury, Jo Woll's performance and if he should stick in net for Game 4. They are joined by Craig Simpson (47:00), who shares his thoughts on how the series has turned around for the core four, Florida's momentum, the hole left in Matthew Knies' absence, what to expect in Game 4 and if a win on Wednesday can change the offseason direction. Later, NHL Network's Brian Lawton breaks down how the core can get it going, his expectations for the Leafs' offseason and if taking a few games in the series can save jobs (1:07:16). The guys close with a chat about potential moves this offseason, problems with the Leafs' deadline acquisitions and a look at the playoff action around the league.
