Leafs Hour: The Message in the Locker Room

Nick Kypreos, Justin Bourne and Sam McKee look back on the Toronto Maple Leafs' 3-2 win over the Chicago Blackhawks. They review Craig Berube's post-game locker room address and discuss the team's slow start, Auston Matthews' response to the fans' third-period boos, and whether the Leafs can take any meaningful takeaways from the incomplete effort. Later, as the Leafs prepare for a Thursday-night matchup against the Capitals, Washington head coach Spencer Carbery joins the show (32:27) to discuss the Caps' recent form, Alex Ovechkin's usage, navigating Pierre-Luc Dubois' absence, the importance of locker room speeches, and the lingering Olympic question for Logan Thompson and Tom Wilson.
