Leafs Hour: Canada Takeaways + Life Without 34

Justin Bourne and Sam McKee are joined for the Leafs’ Hour by Sportsnet’s JD Bunkis. To open the show, the guys give their takeaways from Team Canada’s loss to Czechia in the Quarterfinals at the World Juniors, and have the bigger conversation around minor hockey in Canada. They bring it back to Leaf-land by looking at Easton Cowan’s performance in the tournament, and what should be made of it. Then, they discuss Phillipe Myers’ contract extension and how he fits into the Leafs’ defensive group moving forward, before the conversation turns to Auston Matthews, his injury, and what the plan should be with his status still in limbo. Later, the guys discuss the Leafs’ potential interest in Jonathan Toews returning to the NHL, and what has changed for Matthew Knies since his injury earlier this season.
