Leafs Hour: Early-Season Lineup Questions

Nick Kypreos, Justin Bourne and Sam McKee look back on the Toronto Maple Leafs' first win of the 2026-27 season, a 2-1 victory over the New York Islanders. They discuss Anthony Stolarz's strong start, Easton Cowan's potential, which line Gavin McKenna fits best on, and John Tavares showing signs of slowing down. Later, Gord Stellick joins the show (35:12) to share his impressions of the Leafs' start, the pressure on McKenna, how Kirill Marchenko changes the team's ceiling, and whether John Chayka is loading up for another early-season trade.
