Real Gud Pros

HE FOUND OUT ON TWITTER!

This week, we discuss the ongoing Auston Matthews situation (if you don’t want to listen, we won’t be offended - skip ahead to 33:53 for silly lawyer discussion, 39:00 for absolutely no Matthews talk). But, we refuse to let his bad behaviour get us down! We review the final week of the preseason, celebrate the end of the RFA madness, and talk about just how weird hockey players are. Finally, we send the NHL back to school for some required credits and wonder who’s joining Marner’s Mock Trial study group.

Hockey is back! Well, sloppy preseason hockey is back but we’re desperate and we’ll take it!

This week we discuss Auston Matthews ending a man’s career (and the racists that tried to ruin the moment), Helen’s love for Hilary Knight, and how the Leafs have looked four games into the preseason.

We also take the Leafs on a field trip to Stratford, ON and cast them in some Shakespearean tragedies. For never was a story of more woe than this of William and his Kasperi-o.

Alert the press, our national nightmare is over … Mitch finally signed a contract. And guess what? It’s Not Great™ 

This week we’re joined by Keeks to break down the Marner contract, how it reflects on Dubas’ negotiation record, and what it means for the remaining RFAs. We also check in with the b’ys at training camp in Newfoundland, the canceled Four Nations Cup in Luleå, Sweden, and Jamaica’s win at the 2019 Amerigol LATAM Cup.

Finally we delve into the world of harlequin romance novels and wonder who in the NHL is Aroused by Two Lions?

Well, the thing we all knew was going to happen but then convinced ourselves might not actually happen finally happened … and we’re sad. We say goodbye to Jake and ponder who will fill the hole left in our (and Mo’s) hearts.

We also discuss the mysterious world of load management, Auston v. the media’s dumb narratives, #NHLSoapOperaChallenge, and give an update on the PWHPA’s Dream Gap Tour.

Plus, we take a look at some hockey HR complaints in the making with “Ask a Manager: NHL Edition.”

We’re back and oh boy, do we have a lot to talk about! We introduce our new co-host Elizabeth (!!) and break down everything we’ve missed including the hot girl summer competition between Auston & Willy, who will befriend Tyson Barrie the fastest, and how best to free Connor from Edmonton. We also give some 2019/2020 season predictions.

Raise your hand if you have ever felt personally victimized by Kyle Dubas lulling you into a false sense of security and slight disappointment before dropping a massive trade on your head and absolutely destroying your Canada Day.

No? Just us?

This week we’re joined by the awesome Rahef to dig into all the bananas stuff that has happened over the last couple of weeks, including the departure of Patty, Zaitsev, and Brown, the beginning of a new, Toronto-based era of #TysonTuesdays, and the first spotting of that most elusive creature: an actual, real-life offer sheet.

On the next episode of Real Gud Pros: what will Kyle Dubas get back for Marleau, Brown, and a second? Will Mitch Marner and Carlton find their happily ever after, or are they doomed to become star-crossed lovers? Will Nicholas Cage manage to retrieve the Kelly Cup? Will Dougie Hamilton finally become… Dougie Toronto?

Welcome to another episode of the William Nylander podcast! This week we talk about William Nylander’s success at Worlds, the praise that William Nylander received from his Swedish teammates, and how happy William Nylander looks.

We also get a bit off-topic and talk the Marlies current playoff run, who our favourite players are, and who we think is most likely to make the jump to the Leafs next year. Also: the NHL still exists question mark?, the Voynov situation is trash but slightly less trash than it could be, and the Professional Women’s Hockey Players Association is formally established.

We’re back and so is Babcock! But we’re not lingering on that! Join us as we instead celebrate the Toronto Marlies sweeping their way through rounds one and two of the playoffs, learn about some new European prospects, and cheer for the only NHL team we’ve ever cared about. Also: everything is happening so much in women’s hockey, evaluating William Nylander’s taste in music, and Patty learns how to get down with the youth.

This week we eulogize the Toronto Maple Leafs’ 2018-19 season the only way we know how: by bitching about Mike Babcock and spending way too much energy defending William Nylander. Join us as we lament game seven, rage about deployment and ice time, and debate which hockey player truly captures the spirt of Satine, dying of consumption in a Parisian brothel.
