Search For Number One Netminder Narrows

Nick Kypreos, Justin Bourne and Sam McKee kick it off with the Leafs dissapointing loss against the Canadiens over the weekend during Hockey Day In Canada. Sam discusses his experience in Owen Sound for the events before they dive into John Tavares's play in OT, inconsitstency at home vs. on the road and Ilya Samsonov taking over as number one netminder. They are joined by Sportsnet's Craig Simpson (41:57), who breaks down the Leafs' struggles against teams they should beat, the responsibilities of the bottom line and why it's important to experiment with the powerplay. Later, Sportsnet 650's Jason Brough (1:07:07) breaks down the nightmare situation in Vancouver, why Bruce Boudreau had to go, Jim Rutherford's role throughout and what new head coach Rick Tocchet can bring to the Canucks. Kyper, Bourne and Sam end with a conversation about Flames' coach Darryl Sutter's dismissive comments about rookie Jakob Pelletier's NHL debut.
