Real Kyper & Bourne

Nick Kypreos and Justin Bourne are joined by Sportsnet host David Amber (0:52) to chat about the state of the Eastern Conference, the promising young core with the Montreal Canadiens, if he was surprised by the quiet trade deadline for Montreal, Nathan MacKinnon's collision with Connor Ingram, questions around Alexander Ovechkin's future, and which direction should the Maple Leafs and Canucks take as they both near the bottom of the standings. Then, Nick, Justin and Sam McKee dive deeper into MacKinnon hitting the Oilers' goalie, the connection between Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl on offence, and the chance we see Canadian NHL teams losing superstars.

Nick Kypreos, Justin Bourne and Sam McKee look back on the Toronto Maple Leafs' eighth straight loss, a 3-1 defeat to the Montreal Canadiens. They discuss the optics of fans cheering for losses as the team chases its top-5 protected draft pick, whether it's time to move off Craig Berube, and if the Leafs really are as bad as they've played since the Olympic break. Then, they discuss Auston Matthews' regression as his scoring slump hits 12 games. Later, Nick, Justin and Sam dip into McKee's Midweek Mailbag to answer your comments and questions, including whether the Leafs need to add toughness, what the organisation should look for in their next GM, and more!

Nick Kypreos and Justin Bourne welcome back New York Rangers analyst and CEO of Clear Sight Analytics, Steve Valiquette (5:38) to chat about if there's a path out of a rebuild for the Rangers, why the Colorado Avalanche are the winners coming out of the trade deadline, if the red-hot Buffalo Sabres have the right goaltenders for a deep Stanley Cup Playoff run, why Tristan Jarry's comments about his blueline could haunt him heading into the later stages of the season, what has changed for Brandon Bussi before and after the Winter Olympics, why the Pittsburgh Penguins could slip down the standings, and if the L.A. Kings can sneak into the post-season picture. Then, Vally brings back Grill Marks and asks Nick, Justin and Sam McKee who is the most consistent goalie, the most consistent bad goaltending, and which goaltender has the wildest swings. Afterwards, Nick, Justin and Sam discuss Alexander Ovechkin revealing what factors will lead him to decide to retire from the NHL.

Then, co-host of Donnie and Dhali, Rick Dhaliwal, jumps on (35:59) to discuss the calls to shake up the Vancouver Canucks' front office, why it was difficult to move Elias Pettersson, and if a fractured relationship can be fixed between the Canucks and Pettersson.
