Leafs Hour: Buds Back Home on Halloween

Nick Kypreos, Justin Bourne and Sam McKee start with some Halloween stories before looking ahead to tonight's Leafs game against the LA Kings. They discuss the dynamic of the first game back home after a long road trip, the Kings' depth down the middle, the Leafs' third-line centre hole, the longevity of Anze Kopitar and Drew Doughty and evaluate the fourth line so far. They are joined by Kings team president and Hockey Hall of Famer Luc Robitaille (28:36), who discusses LA's start to the season, how the team went through their 'rebuild' phase without scraping the bottom of the standings and how they take the next steps in becoming a serious contender. The guys close with a chat on expectations for high-level prospects and if teams are better off developing players outside of their NHL roster.
