A Familiar Face in Vegas with Jason Bukala

Brent Gunning and Sho Alli open the second hour by previewing the Maple Leafs’ matchup against Mitch Marner and the Vegas Golden Knights. They discuss Marner’s first game against his former team, the expected fan reaction, and how the Leafs might respond on the ice. They break down the importance of this game after Tuesday's loss to Utah, the kind of response they want to see, and their confidence in Dennis Hildeby backing up Joseph Woll. Sportsnet's Jason Bukala (21:40) joins the conversation to shares his expectations for tonight's Marner reunion. Jason also touches on Toronto’s recent turnaround, improvements from the bottom six, Bobby McMann’s emergence, Auston Matthews’ resurgence alongside Max Domi, Easton Cowan’s season, and the Leafs’ need for defensive help.The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the hosts and guests and do not necessarily reflect the position of Rogers Sports & Media or any affiliates.
