Nick Kypreos, Justin Bourne and Sam McKee share their reactions to William Nylander being dropped to the third line, their expectations for that line in the Toronto Maple Leafs’ upcoming game against the San Jose Sharks, and their thoughts on Bobby McMann’s suspension. Then, Sportsnet’s Luke Fox joins to chat about Ryan Reaves’ return to Toronto and to give an update on the Sharks. Hockey Night in Canada’s Garry Galley then stops by to talk about the Senators’ struggles since Brady Tkachuk’s return, if the Canadiens should call up Jacob Fowler, and the Oilers’ inconsistency. Later, sports orthopaedic surgeon Jason Smith comes on to discuss the uptick in injuries around the league, Chris Tanev’s situation, and why some are still cautious of Jack Eichel’s artificial disk surgery.

Work your way through it means try harder stop sulking around the ice. He isn’t putting any effort into his play. Berube is doing him a favor
saying it that way.
.Rick these guys are weak besides hockey in the real world weak would not last
Willy makes to much to slack it just Willy styles not a good enough excuse
Should be putting Laughton on that second line. He has played well with both Tavares and Cowboy, plus the line is less likely to be caved in defensively this way.
Work your way through it = play hard, smart, get in on the action, “Work”, break a sweat! And the goals and assists will start rolling in again. Keep it simple. WORK THROUGH IT
I like how Berube anounces a bull@#$t line involving Willie and it becomes instant fodder for this podcast. Lol. Willie is still among the top point producers in the league despite the fact that all the players ahead of him have played more games. Lines are not set in stone and after a second shift Willie most likely goes back with JT. Notwithstanding 88's defensive lullygagging, 88 is not in the dog house, Berube is just trying to get him going a little. But leave it to Kip and the boys to stir the controversy as usual.😋
Loved watching kyper and Bourne squirm while Sam points out the elephant in the room that all Leafs fans know to be true. The leafs are held to a different standard and no one wants to acknowledge it in the media. Good job Sammie!
Berube has a personal problem with willy
The DOPS needs to be taken out of the hands of the nhl and done by a third party
Players safety is a complete joke.
Sammy’s look when the Jersey song comes on 🥶
Fancy Christmas decorations. Dollarama or perhaps Dollar Tree? Where did Rogers Sportsnet"s set designers go for those decorations. Cheap bastards.
Still our best player
I REMEMBER KEENAN RAN LIUT OUT 70+ TIMES
This team isn’t worth anyone’s money or time. Yall watching this team are weak and pathetic and the problem to why this team is shite
Ty Sammy for being the voice of reason. Leaf fans have lived through this bs for years.
I’m going to focus on working through it tomorrow.
Everyone also talked about how Robertson should be in the top 6 to produce more. As well, gives a good chance to experiment with Nylander on that line as they have been better than the 2nd line anyway. Just mixes things up for a game that McMann has been suspended for.
"Work your way through it" just means don't give up and it'll be over eventually.
