The Bleedin’ Blue & White crew kicks off 2026 trying to make sense of a Toronto team that somehow looks flawed, confusing, and red-hot at the same time. Corey, Nick, and Jack break down the Leafs’ strong 5-0-2 run, debate whether the wins are masking deeper issues, and dive into the unexpected edge and physicality showing up in the bottom of the lineup. From hustle and body checks to old-school toughness and uncomfortable truths about what “making a difference” really means, this episode asks the big question Leafs fans can’t stop wrestling with: Is this team actually changing… or just winning for now?

They also discuss Auston Matthews breaking records, the Winter Classic, and take a long look at the teams the Leafs face leading up to the Olympic break.
