    Leafs Hour: Cruise Control

    Leafs Hour: Cruise Control

    Nick Kypreos, Justin Bourne and Sam McKee start with the Leafs' uninspiring loss to the Devils last night. They get into the Leafs taking their foot off the gas after a dominant first period, Keefe's heated post-game comments, lack of urgency and Nylander notching his 40th. Then, to the crease - concern levels after Woll's rough outing, how Keefe will utilize the trio down the stretch and if the Leafs have the most uncertain goalie situation amongst playoff teams. Finally, standings watch as Tampa starts to catch up and if it the Leafs might prefer to finish in a Wild Card spot.

They are joined by former Red Wings goalie and now-analyst Chris Osgood, (6:15) who shares his thoughts on Detroit's sloppy finish to the season as they compete for the final Wild Card spot in the East, short & long-term solutions in net, the jumps from Mo Seider and Lucas Raymond, and Patrick Kane's impact on and off the ice. Finally, they regroup with Sam for news & notes - if Vegas missing the playoffs is a good or bad thing for hockey, rumours that Tortorella will move to management and which competing teams have the easiest schedules down the stretch.

Protect Sammy at all costs!

Sammy is a gem to the leafs community, always straight bangers with him! Kyper is an OG beauty and Bourney is elite. Honestly listening to these 3 go back and forth everyday is better then half the leafs games I watch.
Keep it up boys, thanks for bringing great takes and just an all around fun atmosphere to a wild fan base

Best Hockey Talk Show

Huge fan of the show! I love what Nick, Justin and of course Sammy! Bring to each episode, as they most of the time have different opinions on hockey topics, which keeps things fresh and can change your perspective once you’ve heard each side of they’re arguments, as Kyper and Bourne bring the expertise in the hockey subjects and Sammy has more of a fans point of view, which they all complement each other the best of any hockey talk show available!

Love the show guys!

Kyper is awful

Just going to say it. One too many concussions for Kypreos. His takes are just awful. He's incoherent. Bourne find someone else to pod with.
