About this episode
JD begins the show discussing opening night in the NBA (00:00). Mats Sundin, Maple Leafs all-time leading scorer, joins the show to get into the foundations of his new book 'Home and Away'; the new generation of hockey players, the professionalization of hockey, parting ways with the Maple Leafs, the final years of his career, the return of international hockey and what being Canadian means to him (11:00). Kris Vertseeg, two-time Stanley Cup Champion, analyzes the buttons Craig Berube could press, the new-look powerplay with Oliver Ekman-Larsson, the chemistry between William Nylander and Max Domi, John Tavares' sacrifices, what has looked different for the Leafs so far this season, and the NHL's fine on Ekman-Larsson (51:00). JD and the team ends with 'What We Missed!' (1:24:00)
