Windy City Status Report + The New-Look Leafs with Mike Zeisberger

Matt Marchese and Gord Stellick open this episode with a deeper conversation about the teams facing the most pressure around the league, as well as who’s catching their eye before the season officially begins. Darren Pang (16:45), NHL on TNT analyst and former netminder, stops by to chat about the young talent in Chicago, what would quantify as a successful season, if the depth on the roster can support their top-end talent, and Patrick Kane’s return to the Madhouse on Madison. Finally, Mike Zeisberger (41:09) of NHL.com checks in on the Maple Leafs ahead of tonight’s preseason finale in Ottawa. He discusses how the top line is shaping up, Jim Hiller’s early impressions with the group, William Nylander and Auston Matthews’ opportunity ahead, how Darren Raddysh has slotted in, and what to expect from Morgan Rielly.
