Talkin' Buds Leafs Show

The Toronto Maple Leafs have won four straight, and it’s good vibes only on this episode. We break down Saturday’s 7-2 win in Edmonton, a game where nothing went wrong: the Leafs won the bottom six battle, the fourth line kept flying and Anthony Stolarz delivered a .938 save percentage. We also look at how Auston Matthews has completely changed the vibe in that room, plus a mini around the league on the Connor Hellebuyck trade to New Jersey.

Toronto Maple Leafs prospect expert Nick Richard from Daily Faceoff Toronto joins us on today’s episode to talk about the future of this team. We dig into why Ben Danford’s ceiling is higher than people give him credit for, Easton Cowan’s massive leap in year two, and what’s next for Artur Akhtyamov, Landon Sim and a sleeper in the system. From there we get into Gavin McKenna’s start, Jim Hiller so far, Kirill Marchenko, William Nylander and the return of Auston Matthews.

Toronto Maple Leafs make it three straight with a 5-4 win over the New York Rangers, and Troy Stecher scores the game winner. We break down why Troy Stecher has the passion, a fourth line that’s finding its identity and Kirill Marchenko’s 12 points in 12 games, plus a rough night for Sergei Bobrovsky and Gavin McKenna on the third line. We wrap up tonight’s episode with a look ahead to Saturday night against Edmonton.

Toronto Maple Leafs make it two in a row for the first time this season, taking care of the Columbus Blue Jackets.

The Toronto Maple Leafs snap their three-game losing streak with a must-have regulation win over the San Jose Sharks, and Gavin McKenna buries the power-play winner. We break down McKenna’s big night, Auston Matthews being in on all three goals and Sergei Bobrovsky’s best game of the season, plus why the forwards need to stop blowing the zone and help out the blue line. We also get into a penalty kill that’s first in the NHL and McKenna’s ice time down the stretch.

The Toronto Maple Leafs are sitting last in the Atlantic after a three-game losing streak, so we debut our new segment, Buds and Duds, to sort through the good and the bad nine games in. We break down the goaltending, a blue line that needs a scorched-earth rebuild and Jim Hiller landing in the dud category, plus why this team needs to lean into its run-and-gun identity, before wrapping up today’s episode with a look around the league and the week ahead.

Toronto Maple Leafs blow a two-goal lead in the third period and lose in overtime to the Buffalo Sabres, and this one is all on Jim Hiller. We break down Hiller sitting Gavin McKenna for a period and a half in favour of the fourth line, his horrendous postgame explanation and why we’re officially worried about him behind the bench. We also get into the John Tavares injury, an off night for Sergei Bobrovsky and Kirill Marchenko’s best game in a Leafs sweater getting completely overlooked.

Our Toronto Maple Leafs are exactly who we thought they were: a high-powered offence with arguably the worst blue line in the league, and a team that needs good goaltending to win, which they didn’t get from Anthony Stolarz in Tuesday’s loss to the Utah Mammoth. We discuss why there’s no easy fix for the blue line, whether the Matthew Knies for Kirill Marchenko trade deserves some criticism and William Nylander being one of the most underrated players in the NHL, before wrapping up today’s episode with a lap around the league.

The Toronto Maple Leafs are must-see TV right now. With Auston Matthews and William Nylander firing on all cylinders, the Leafs captured 3 of 4 points against Vegas and Colorado, and we break down a team being led by its best players. We also get into Gavin McKenna looking better and better every day, why John Tavares should no longer be on PP1 and Sergei Bobrovsky holding down the fort. From there we talk about the Leafs losing Chris Tanev to injury and what realistic improvements to the blue line look like, before wrapping up today’s episode by kicking some tires.
