In this episode of the #1-ranked podcast in women’s hockey, as recognized by Feedspot, we dive into the biggest questions facing the Toronto Maple Leafs this offseason. With Mitch Marner’s departure all but sealed, we explore how his potential exit could reshape the team's identity—and what that could mean for John Tavares.

We are also joined by Leafs beat reporter David Alter of The Hockey News, who shares his insight on playoff-tested rosters and the crucial role older, experienced players play when the stakes are highest. From creative contracts and free agency strategies to what it really takes for rookies to earn a spot, this episode is a must-listen for any Leafs fan bracing for big changes. Plus, as a special treat, David shares his "best of" media meals that fuel the press box from his popular TikTok.

To wrap up the show we discuss the surprising retirement announcement from Joe Bowen, voice of the Leafs and touch on the enduring legacy of hockey broadcasters, as well as how listener support helps sports podcasts like ours thrive.

We are heading into an offseason that will shake up the Leafs roster in ways we likely haven't seen for almost a decade! Our show will be moving to the Patio soon, but when the news breaks we'll have you covered with great guests, the latest news and more all summer long! Be sure to subscribe to stay in the loop. Go Leafs Go!

It’s June and the Stanley Cup Final is just getting going.  It’s a repeat of last year’s final with the Edmonton Oilers and Florida Panthers facing off for the Cup.  

While Connor McDavid is chasing the Stanley Cup in this repeat Final showdown, Leafs Nation is left wondering once again what’s missing in Toronto — and why it always seems just out of reach.

In this episode, we start the show by discussing the glaring contrast between McDavid’s relentless push to win and the Leafs’ troubling comfort with early playoff exits. Brad Treliving’s recent press conference didn’t pull any punches, calling for a serious shift in the team’s DNA — and that message may finally shake things up.

Then we welcomed to the show Lance Hornby of the Toronto Sun, who shared his unique insights into Auston Matthews’ first year as captain, marked by leadership pressure and lingering injuries, and we also discuss why the departure of long-time figures behind the bench and in the front office might finally put the spotlight — and accountability — squarely back on the players.

With free agency around the corner and Mitch Marner’s future up in the air, change feels inevitable. But it’s not just about the roster — it’s about culture. We explore how the Leafs can build a stronger playoff mindset during the regular season and why fans are craving more access to the real personalities behind the jerseys.

If you're ready to move beyond excuses and dig into what it’ll actually take for the Leafs to become a serious contender, this one’s for you. Go Leafs Go!

It’s only a little over a week since the Leafs were eliminated by the Florida Panthers and a lot has happened in this relatively short time. The biggest news? The Shanahan era has officially come to a close.

In this episode, we discuss the legacy of Brendan Shanahan’s tenure with the Toronto Maple Leafs — from the excitement of drafting Auston Matthews to the strong alumni relations he helped rebuild. But despite early promise, the inability to adapt the "Shanaplan" may have cost this team its true potential.

Shanahan's exit has left more questions than answers, so we invited our LTL Insider Mike Augello on to give us his impressions in the wake of this shake up. Together we break down how long-standing loyalty to the core has failed to deliver results, why grit and roster diversity matter in the playoffs, and how past trade and contract missteps continue to haunt the Leafs. With Mitch Marner’s playoff performances raising eyebrows and Auston Matthews' leadership under a microscope, accountability is front and centre — both on the ice and in the front office.

From coaching chemistry to free agency decisions, we explore how new leadership could finally shift the team’s direction. Morgan Rielly’s loyalty stands out in a locker room searching for identity, and we highlight how team culture, defensive strategies, and player development will shape the next chapter.

Plus, what can the Leafs learn from ownership challenges in other Toronto franchises — like the Blue Jays under Rogers? And which names in this year’s free agent class could bring the spark this team desperately needs?

If you're a Leafs fan hungry for answers, reflection, and hope for the future, this one’s for you. Go Leafs Go!

New season, same heartbreak. In this episode, we break down the Leafs’ Game 7 loss and what went wrong in their series with the Panthers, after the disappointing end to their latest rollercoaster playoff run. From a lack of urgency and low shot totals to another rough start that set the tone early, the frustration is real — and Leafs Fans are feeling it!

While the players definitely bear the brunt of this, we also take a hard look at some of the coaching decisions, especially around player lineups, and how injuries once again played a major role in derailing playoff hopes. The outside noise from critics and media is only growing louder, and with expectations still sky-high (and rightfully so), many in Leafs Nation are left asking: Where do we go from here?

The conversation gets real as we talk about what needs to change this offseason We also dive into the emotional connection fans have with this team, why the disappointment cuts so deep, and why, despite it all, the love for the Blue and White never fades.

If you’re frustrated, heartbroken, or just trying to make sense of it all — this one’s for you. Go Leafs Go!

We're back—and now streaming on hockeyhotstove.com! In this episode, we break down the highs, lows, and head-scratchers of the Leafs’ playoff performance, as they are in the thick of it versus the Florida Panthers in this 2nd round series. Joseph Woll has been thrown into the fire with a tough goaltending assignment, while the team continues to struggle with scoring in key moments.

Penalties sure disrupted the Leafs momentum in game 4, and Auston Matthews is getting heat despite his strong defensive play, but Tanev’s toughness has been a game-changer—and we’re here for it! The Leafs as a unit will need to take their cue from this tenacious D'man if they hope to come out on top in this now best of three showdown.

We also shine a light on the community side of the game. We were delighted to have welcomed Ultimate Leafs Fan Mike Wilson on with us to talk about an important fundraising initiative he is championing in support of a cure for ALS; one that that hockey fans will definitely want to get involved with! Of course, while he was with us we also got his thoughts on the Leafs vs Panthers series, and chatted about his experiences following the Blue and White on the road. We could've talked to Mike for hours, as he has some incredible stories!

The playoffs are all about momentum swings, and the Leafs have allowed the Panthers to get some. A quick start and taking our game to them will be the key to getting it back. Go Leafs Go!

The Leafs are moving on! We love that we get to talk about the Leafs in Round 2 of the playoffs after winning their 1st round series vs. the Ottawa Senators in 6 games!  Round #2 is going to be a much tougher opponent vs. the Florida Panthers!

In this episode, we put a bow on Toronto’s first-round win over the Ottawa Senators and look ahead to a tough matchup against the Florida Panthers. From Anthony Stolarz’s solid playoff debut to Simon Benoit stepping up big time, the boys in blue are finding their stride—but will it be enough?

Before we move on to Florida we wanted to celebrate some of the key performances that were instrumental in getting us past the first round, with a special Playoff LTL Highlight Reel! We had a defenceman doing their best impression of Bobby Orr, a stand out goaltending debut, and a young, imposing power forward, all stepping up to help seal the deal!

We then welcome our insider Mike Augello who joined us to discuss what went well, and what didn't vs the Sens, the impact of the Leafs' improved defense, and why special teams and composure could make or break the next series. Will Ryan Reaves make an appearance, bringing the grit needed against Florida’s physical play? Can the power play deliver under pressure? And what happens if Stolarz slips—will Joseph Woll be ready?

Join us for playoff insights, a few laughs, and all things Leafs as the second round heats up! Go Leafs Go!

The Toronto Maple Leafs are just one win away from sending the Ottawa Senators packing, and in this episode, we’re breaking down all the action. The Leafs' have so far showed a lot of composure under pressure and seem to have taken Coach Berube's message to heart. Add strong defensive play and elite goaltending to this mix and you have what should be a recipe for success in this first round and hopefully the makings of a long playoff run.

But it's not all smooth sailing. We've been talking for some time about the critical importance of depth scoring if the Leafs hope to make a deep playoff push, and we seem to be getting some of that. But, as fans, we feel that we are still needing more from our big guns, and are looking for Matthews, Marner and Nylander to elevate their games even more.

We wrap up the show with a look at a couple of the other series in progress. The playoff energy is absolutely buzzing — especially over in Montreal! With coaching strategies front and centre, we also ask the tough question: If Edmonton should fall in this first round, will it be time for a new voice behind the bench to take this team to the next level?

Game 5 is now upon us and its crunch time for the Leafs! If we are to believe that the ghosts of the past have gone and they've truly bought in to Berube's process, it's time to change the narrative. It's felt a little different so far, so for now we are choosing to Beleaf! Go Leafs Go!

Round 1 of the Stanley Cup Playoffs got going on Sunday night for the Leafs with a big win in Game #1 over the Ottawa Senators!

In this episode, we break down everything from Anthony Stolarz’s rock-solid performance between the pipes to the power play finally clicking (3 for 6, baby!). Marner and Tavares showed up in a big way, and it wasn’t just the stars—every line was buzzing with chemistry.

We also dive into how the coaching change is clearly paying off, why this year’s playoff vibe feels different, and how the crowd’s electric energy helped set the tone. But let’s not get ahead of ourselves—staying cool, calm, and collected is going to be key with the Sens looking to make some adjustments.

Whether you bleed blue or just love playoff hockey, this is one post-game breakdown you won’t want to miss. Go Leafs Go!

This is our final podcast for the 2024-25 regular season and we are looking forward to a long playoff run for our Leafs!

In this episode, we’re diving into everything Leafs Nation is buzzing about. From Mitch Marner closing in on that elusive 100-point season (and all the uncertainty surrounding his future in Toronto), the Berube factor, and a new look Battle of Ontario, there’s no shortage of story lines as we head into the post season!

We kick off the show with our final regular season Highlight Reel, with nods to an overtime winner, our tendy tandem, and a Matty Hatty!

Then for the Third Period, we welcome Andi Petrillo to discuss the Leafs’ steady season, much-improved goaltending, and how Craig Berube’s no-nonsense coaching style is giving the squad a real edge heading into the playoffs. Depth scoring is going to be a make-or-break factor—and don’t even get us started on the special teams. Spoiler: they really matter in the postseason.

Plus, we take a nostalgic stroll through the Leafs-Sens rivalry, revisiting some of the drama from playoffs past, and we couldn't have Andi on without getting into a bit of footy talk as we explore the emotional and physical toll of Alfonso Davies’ recent ACL injury and how it might affect the Canadian Men's Team as we head into our first World Cup on home soil.

Whether you're a die-hard Leafs fan or just love the game, this episode hits all the targets. Two games left to go, then next stop is the Playoffs! We'll be back to cover it all. Go Leafs Go!

The Leafs start April with a couple of wins - a big one vs. Florida Panthers and a shutout win vs. Columbus Blue Jackets.

But before we get into the Leafs news of the day, we get things started by paying some attention to a historic moment unfolding in NHL history as Alex Ovechkin hits yet another milestone, cementing his legacy in the league. Closer to home, our Maple Leafs are heating up at just the right time—clinching a playoff spot for the ninth consecutive season and holding a strong position in the Atlantic Division.

We break down the key factors behind the Leafs' momentum: Anthony Stolarz's standout performances between the pipes, Auston Matthews' late-season surge, and Nick Robertson's resilience and impact even after being scratched. With player health and peak performance more crucial than ever, we look at what it’ll take to go deep this postseason.

Next, we give a shout out to our latest Star of the Week: Stolie the Goalie, Anthony Stolarz! With a huge win on Wednesday night vs. his former team the Florida Panthers, and getting his second shutout of the season vs the Blue Jackets, he looks confident and big in the net giving the Buds a chance to win every night. For all this and more he has earned our weekly honours!

Well folks, we are heading into the home stretch, where every division win matters as the team eyes a powerful playoff push. The excitement is building—and Leafs Nation is ready. Go Leafs Go!
