Leafs Lose Some Luster in Game 5

Nick Kypreos, Justin Bourne and Sam McKee kick it off with the Leafs' loss last night, a trend of getting off to bad starts, potential blueline adjustments for Game 6, Samsonov looking shaky, who comes out for Bunting and how the Leafs overcome the curse and closeout. Doug MacLean joins the conversation (47:22), and shares why the Leafs are lucky to hold the series lead, their issues moving the puck, how much Keefe should tinker with the lineup for Game 6 and the forechecking failure against a diminished Tampa blueline. They are joined by Lightning Hockey analyst Brian Bradley, who gives some insight on Vasilevskiy starting to rally, Jon Cooper's mind games and the positives and negatives of abundant, recent playoff success (1:07:09). The guys close with a conversation about Rick Bowness' comments after his Jets got eliminated and answer listener questions.
