Real Kyper & Bourne

Nick Kypreos, Gord Stellick and Sam McKee look back on the Toronto Maple Leafs' win over the Anaheim Ducks to snap their losing streak. They discuss Radko Gudas' dirty hit that injured Auston Matthews, the lack of immediate response, and Easton Cowan taking initiative in the third period. Later, they check in on Matthews' status for the rest of the season, debate what an appropriate suspension length for Gudas would be, and discuss whether injuries are the prime reason for Matthews' decline. Finally, they take your calls on the Leafs Line!
