Talkin' Buds Leafs Show

Toronto Maple Leafs make it two in a row for the first time this season, taking care of the Columbus Blue Jackets. We start with why Easton Cowan should be untouchable, then break down Auston Matthews being off to the best start of his career, plus a penalty kill that keeps driving offence and a huge night from Troy Stecher. We wrap up tonight’s episode by giving a few guys their props for standout performances.

The Toronto Maple Leafs snap their three-game losing streak with a must-have regulation win over the San Jose Sharks, and Gavin McKenna buries the power-play winner. 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. We also get into a penalty kill that’s first in the NHL and McKenna’s ice time down the stretch.

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.

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.
