| Toronto Maple Leafs | Panic Time? | Leafs Fall To The Devils and Habs | 09 Nov 2026 | 00:36:37 | |
The Toronto Maple Leafs lost both ends of the weekend back-to-back against the Habs and Devils, and it’s officially panic time. We lay out the two paths this organization can take from here, from moving on from Jim Hiller to approaching William Nylander about a trade to start rebuilding the blue line. Then we get into Sergei Bobrovsky’s struggles, a team that looked like it quit against New Jersey, and whether it’s time for Rogers to commit to a retool.

| Toronto Maple Leafs Keep Finding Ways To Lose | Fall To Utah Mammoth In Regulation | 04 Nov 2026 | 00:29:35 | |
The Toronto Maple Leafs battled back to tie Tuesday’s game against the Utah Mammoth, then gave it away again, and it’s time for our first meltdown of the season. We break down why this team keeps finding ways to lose, a blue line that got exposed all night, and William Nylander’s lack of intensity. Then we look ahead to the homestand and debate whether the Leafs are a bubble playoff team or something worse. Watch on YouTube here: https://youtu.be/4nYtMQBmehI (0:00) Intro

The Toronto Maple Leafs closed out their western road trip with Saturday’s win in Vancouver, but it leaves us asking a bigger question: is Jim Hiller the guy? We dig into Gavin McKenna’s ice time and the team’s habit of sitting on leads, give Dakota Joshua his flowers and break down Nikita Kucherov’s trade request. Plus, Rob’s Jersey Corner takes a second look at the Leafs Hometown Remix uniform, and it doesn’t hold up. Watch on YouTube here: https://youtu.be/M2OjmBgRzVM

We break down McKenna’s big night, Auston Matthews being in on all three goals and Sergei Bobrovsky’s best game of the season, plus why the forwards need to stop blowing the zone and help out the blue line.

The Toronto Maple Leafs are sitting last in the Atlantic after a three-game losing streak, so we debut our new segment, Buds and Duds, to sort through the good and the bad nine games in. We break down the goaltending, a blue line that needs a scorched-earth rebuild and Jim Hiller landing in the dud category, plus why this team needs to lean into its run-and-gun identity, before wrapping up today’s episode with a look around the league and the week ahead.

Toronto Maple Leafs blow a two-goal lead in the third period and lose in overtime to the Buffalo Sabres, and this one is all on Jim Hiller. We break down Hiller sitting Gavin McKenna for a period and a half in favour of the fourth line, his horrendous postgame explanation and why we’re officially worried about him behind the bench. We also get into the John Tavares injury, an off night for Sergei Bobrovsky and Kirill Marchenko’s best game in a Leafs sweater getting completely overlooked.

| Toronto Maple Leafs | Is There Any Fix for the Blue Line? | Nylander, NHL’s Most Underrated Star | 14 Oct 2026 | 00:36:55 | |
Our Toronto Maple Leafs are exactly who we thought they were: a high-powered offence with arguably the worst blue line in the league, and a team that needs good goaltending to win, which they didn’t get from Anthony Stolarz in Tuesday’s loss to the Utah Mammoth. We discuss why there’s no easy fix for the blue line, whether the Matthew Knies for Kirill Marchenko trade deserves some criticism and William Nylander being one of the most underrated players in the NHL, before wrapping up today’s episode with a lap around the league.

With Auston Matthews and William Nylander firing on all cylinders, the Leafs captured 3 of 4 points against Vegas and Colorado, and we break down a team being led by its best players. We also get into Gavin McKenna looking better and better every day, why John Tavares should no longer be on PP1 and Sergei Bobrovsky holding down the fort.

The Toronto Maple Leafs opened the season with a 3-2 loss to the Montreal Canadiens, and we're back to break it all down. We discuss the positives from the game, including Kirill Marchenko's debut, along with strong showings from William Nylander and Sergei Bobrovsky. We reiterate that this is going to be a work in progress over the first few weeks after all the offseason change, but the power play needs to start clicking in a hurry, and Darren Raddysh needs to settle into his new role on the Leafs' blueline.
