How long will Sheldon Keefe stick with new lineup changes? Ben and Brent talk about what they’re expecting in tonight’s Maple Leafs game, Matthew Knies’ fit on the first-line, and “King Cromulent” Calle Jarnkrok. What are the expectations for Alek Manoah after how last season went? Ben and Brent share their thoughts on Ross Atkins’ comments that Alek Manoah has earned the right to have a “strong leg up” on re-joining the rotation. Sportsnet NHL analyst Jason Bukala joins the show to go over what he’s noticing from the Maple Leafs’ recent play, particularly Nick Robertson’s call-up, who he could foresee him playing with while up with the big club, if brighter days are ahead for Tyler Bertuzzi, and Ilya Samonsov’s body language earlier in the week against Tampa Bay (26:00).
