Golden Gopher to Golden Opportunity

Nick Kypreos, Justin Bourne and Sam McKee start with the Leafs' destroying the Habs over the weekend, the late goalie-swap controversy, Ilya Samsonov getting a little shaken up and Chris Wideman's response after the game. They move on to the newest Leafs' signing; Matthew Knies, and discuss if he'll make the playoff lineup and who he might replace. Next, Gord Stellick from Leafs Nation shares his expectations for Matthew Knies, the recent changes to the powerplay lineup and why Morgan Rielly is the Leafs' X-Factor for the playoffs (41:12). Then, Florida Hockey Now's George Richards tees up tonight's Leafs vs. Panthers game, Matthew Tkachuk's impact, the Panthers' goalie problem and the end of the Ekblad vs. Koepka saga (1:06:18). They close with a look at Erik Karlsson's potential 100-point season in perspective and Knies ahead of his debut tonight.
