We break down the now-disastrous decision to not fire Craig Berube, Brad Treliving's uncertain future, and Keith Pelley waiting too long to make critical decisions.

| Toronto Maple Leafs: Craig Berube Doing More Harm Than Good | No Organizational Direction | 22 Mar 2026 | 00:42:09 | |
Toronto Maple Leafs head coach Craig Berube continues to look completely lost behind the bench, this time calling out Joe Woll after Friday's loss to Carolina. We break down why the Leafs probably should've moved on from Berube instead of just Marc Savard earlier this season, and why he's had such a short shelf life with this roster. We also discuss the organization's complete lack of direction, especially when compared to teams like the Tampa Bay Lightning, and why it's so hard to feel optimistic about the future until the Leafs provide clarity, stability, and direction to the fanbase.

The Toronto Maple Leafs' lack of toughness and compete level continues to dominate conversation among fans and media, and we once again ask the question: why is this so surprising to everyone? We discuss the need for a full rebuild and why the team should strongly consider moving on from Auston Matthews and/or William Nylander to truly turn the page and start fresh.

The Toronto Maple Leafs finally got back in the win column Thursday night with a 6-4 victory over the Anaheim Ducks, a game that saw Radko Gudas cheap shot Auston Matthews with a dirty knee-on-knee hit. We break down the Leafs' lack of response in the moment, followed by the edge they showed in the 3rd period that we haven't seen all season.

The Toronto Maple Leafs are an aimless operation, and Leafs fans deserve so much better. We continue to break down Brad Treliving's underwhelming trade deadline, the pathetic play on the ice, and the very apparent lack of direction within the organization. We discuss why ownership is risking further alienation of the fanbase unless they get their act together, and revisit Auston Matthews' offseason decision and why it will dictate the next 5+ years for this franchise.

We break down the disappointing return for Bobby McMann, the embarrassing return for Scott Laughton, and the overall sense of incompetence and lack of direction plaguing the organization.

We're back after our post-Olympic break to discuss why the Leafs need a full rebuild instead of a half-hearted retool, the uncertain futures of Craig Berube and Brad Treliving, and why Keith Pelley is on a fast track to becoming the next John Ferguson Jr. or Harold Ballard if he doesn't make major changes soon.
