Off-the-Rails Good Friday

Nick Kypreos, Justin Bourne and Sam McKee with last night's Leafs' overtime loss against the Bruins, how much the game meant, John Tavares and William Nylander continuing to struggle and Ilya Samsonov further securing his starting role. Doug MacLean stops by for his weekly visit (41:06) to chat about loading up lines vs. spreading out talent, how the Leafs should orient their top six, if Matthew Knies can crack the playoff roster and sheds some insight on his new book 'Draft Day' coming soon. Afterward, Blue Jackets' coaching consultant Ken Hitchcock discusses balancing injuries, rest, rust and egos down the stretch, the importance of the third line and the coaching styles that win games in the playoffs (1:07:24). Later, in honour of the Masters this weekend, Stanley Cup winner Stephane Matteau shares the story of when he played a round at Augusta National (1:22:45). The guys close with listener questions.
