Chasing the All-Star Break

Nick Kypreos, Justin Bourne and Sam McKee kick off with last night's Leafs' overtime win over the New York Rangers, Ilya Samsonov running away with the starting goalie job, Timothy Liljegren blossoming and perhaps deserving more time on the powerplay, and the All-Star break coming at a good time for the Leafs' stars that look somewhat tired. They are joined by former Stanley Cup winning head coach Barry Trotz (41:33), who discusses his head coaching future, the importance of the player/coach relationship and the challenges for Rich Tocchet in Vancouver. Later, Jamal Mayers of NBC joins the show (1:05:45) to discuss the Leafs' need for toughness, Auston Matthews blocking shots and how the Blackhawks move on after the Toews/Kane era.
