Nick Alberga & Jay Rosehill welcome legendary Canadian news icon Peter Mansbridge to the show for a wide-ranging conversation on his beloved Maple Leafs.

Mansbridge doesn’t mince words when asked to write the “headline” for the 2025–26 season: MAJOR DISAPPOINTMENT. From there, the discussion dives into who’s ultimately responsible for the mess, how much weight injuries should actually carry, and what the messaging should be at season’s end—especially after last year’s “DNA change” mantra.

They also get into Mansbridge’s unique perspective on Keith Pelley and what drives his leadership style, before shifting to the futures of Craig Berube and Brad Treliving amid mounting pressure.

Plus, a deep dive into the core: what comes next for Auston Matthews and William Nylander—with particular focus on Matthews and the expectations that come with being the face of the franchise.
