Bruce Boudreau joins Nick Alberga & Zack Phillips ahead of the Leafs' season opener against the Montreal Canadiens. First, Boudreau breaks down Toronto's bottom six and what he needs to see from that group, emphasizing the importance of being able to play responsible defence.
Boudreau also revisits his offseason skepticism about the Leafs making the playoffs, explaining why he expects Toronto to be in a dogfight to get into the postseason in a loaded Atlantic Division.
Plus, Boudreau shares his expectations for Gavin McKenna, including why he believes the rookie can be a 60-plus-point player, weighs in on whether McKenna belongs on PP1, and discusses what he wants to see from Auston Matthews this season.
He also identifies Matthew Knies as a player who could have a much bigger season than expected, discusses Morgan Rielly and Toronto's top four, and reveals the three things he'd demand from the Leafs if he were behind their bench: energy, responsibility and discipline.
