Leafs Hour: Can Cowan Stay on the First Line?

Nick Kypreos, Justin Bourne and Sam McKee look back on the Leafs' 7-4 win over the Nashville Predators on the back-to-back. They discuss Craig Berube's effective timeout call, Matias Maccelli fitting in with the second line and the team's lack of response to a pair of greasy plays on Easton Cowan. Then, they run through the roster and gauge which Leafs CAN provide that physical response. Later, Sportsnet reporter Luke Fox stops by (30:33) to share his early impressions of the Leafs, why a strong October is crucial, Auston Matthews' healthier look, how long Cowan can hold on to a top-line spot, the blueline's slow start and the different atmosphere around the team.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.
