It’s an extra special show for a couple reasons - there is a lot of Leaf news to talk about and it’s also the 4th anniversary of our show! In this episode, we'll be reflecting on the incredible milestones we've achieved "Talkin' Leafs" with all of you! We wouldn't be here if it weren't for our listeners, so what better way to kick off this show than by paying tribute to you! Its been 4 incredible years, and we look forward to many more talkin' about our favourite team!

Packing up all the patio furniture sadly signals the end of summer, but it also brings excitement and anticipation because it means the NHL season is just around the corner! Brad Treliving, while having a fairly quiet summer, managed to do a couple of tidy pieces of business in August, signing Auston Matthews, and extending Sheldon Keefe. We'll discuss these two deals and how they affect the bigger picture for the team leading into training camp.

In our second segment, we dust off the Ladies Talkin' Leafs Highlight Reel and roll our top 4 show milestones over the past season. A Special shout out to our families for their input. They've been with us every step of the way, so who better to consult than the people who have encouraged us from day one!

Then, in our Third Period segment, we sadly must say goodbye to two special players that we lost in August. We pay tribute to Rodion Amirov and Bob Baun, and then wrap up the show getting you set for the Leafs upcoming season with a review of the schedule.

Life is filled with transitions. And while summer turns to fall, for Leaf fans its a renewed chance to witness greatness. Only a few weeks to go, and we'll have you covered for it all. We'll be back to set the stage September 27th, as we kick of Season 5! Go Leafs Go!
