Bunting Out of Strikes

Nick Kypreos, Justin Bourne and Sam McKee kick off the show by discussing if scratching Michael Bunting for Game 5 was the right call. Is Bunting a liability to the team, does he deserve to be back onto the ice for Game 5, and does Auston Matthews want the winger back on his line? They are joined by former NHL goalie and TNT hockey analyst, Darren Pang (21:11). He discusses his experience in between the benches of what went down between Brayden Point and Morgan Rielly, Leafs expectations of closing out Game 5 tomorrow night. Later, analyst for the New York Rangers on MSG Steve Valiquette (46:34) discusses how defence affects goaltenders, Andrei Vasilevskiy fighting through the Leafs' screens in Game 4. Jason Bukala (1:06:25) stops by to look at some of the other NHL playoff matchups. Finally, Kyper, Justin and Sam discuss the come-up of Matthew Knies before Game 6, while also taking a quick look at an update of the playoff standings.
