Real Kyper & Bourne

CEO of Clear Sight Analytics and former NHL goaltender Steve Valiquette (4:09) joins Nick Kypreos and Justin Bourne to help tee up the 16-game Tuesday slate! He discusses what led to Igor Shesterkin's season-ending injury, the danger of the reverse VH move, and where the Rangers go without their star goalie. Then, he chats about Linus Ullmark's hot start, early impressions of Sergei Bobrovsky's Leafs tenure, the environments around goalies in Vancouver, Calgary and Philadelphia, why the Canadiens' young tandem of Jacob Fowler and Jakub Dobeš is the best in the NHL right now, and whether the Avalanche could be a player in the Connor Hellebuyck sweepstakes. Then, Nick and Justin regroup with Sam McKee to discuss JB's new book 'The Code of the West' with Darryl Sutter, Rasmus Dahlin's injury, and whether it's too early to write off the Flyers and Blackhawks.

Nick Kypreos, Justin Bourne and Sam McKee look ahead to the Leafs wrapping up the road trip with a game vs. the Mammoth. Will the team play the way they played the Avalanche or is there danger of a letdown with the end of the west coast swing coming up in Utah? They get into the ailing d-corps this early in the season, the potential return of John Tavares to the lineup (and the power play), the goaltending the team gets from either Anthony Stolarz or Sergei Bobrovsky, the future value of Artur Akhtyamov in net compared to that of Stolarz, and what they've seen out of Kirill Marchenko so far. Plus, Mammoth GM Bill Armstrong (30:19) stops by to discuss a 4-2-0 start, adding some youth and size in the offseason, the evolution of Nick Schmaltz, and how Utah might be primed for some big moves with lots of assets and cap space at their disposal.
