Nick Alberga & Zack Phillips break down a wild day at the Milan Games, headlined by Canada’s thrilling 4-3 OT win over Czechia. Former Maple Leaf Mitch Marner — often criticized for not delivering in the biggest moments — silenced the noise (at least temporarily) by burying the OT winner. The goal set off a social media frenzy, with the hockey world — including Roberto Luongo, Chris Pronger, Mark Stone, and Jon Cooper — taking playful jabs at the Maple Leafs.
Meanwhile, Leafs captain Auston Matthews picked up an assist on Quinn Hughes’ OT winner as USA edged Sweden 2-1 to punch their ticket to the semifinals. With the loss, William Nylander and Oliver Ekman-Larsson are officially heading home.
Back in Toronto, the Maple Leafs returned to the ice ahead of next Wednesday’s return to action. The boys react to encouraging updates, including Dakota Joshua, Morgan Rielly, and even Chris Tanev skating again.
Plus, NHL Insider David Pagnotta joins the show to discuss Toronto’s looming March 6 trade deadline plans and what this stretch run could look like coming out of the break.
