Mr. 1000 and the State of the Blues

Nick Kypreos, Justin Bourne and Sam McKee recap the weekend games between the Leafs vs. Ottawa Senators and Washington Capitals, Morgan Rielly scoring his first goal of the season, how T.J. Brodie looked in his return to the lineup, and how Pierre Engvall has raised his game. Then, Maple Leafs captain John Tavares (39:40) joins the guys to talk about reaching his 1000th NHL game and the Leafs' season so far, his gameday routine and off-ice activities, the evolution of his personal goals as a player, plus the difference of being with the New York Islanders versus playing for his hometown team. Former NHL goalie and TNT analyst Darren Pang jumps on to discuss (1:05:10) the state of the St. Louis Blues roster, whether they will be sellers or buyers at the trade deadline, and why he's impressed with the Seattle Kraken.
