The Leafs are up 2-0 in the series after a nerve-wracking 3-2 overtime win in Game 2 — but it wasn’t exactly a textbook performance. In this episode of The Leafscast, we break down how Toronto jumped out to an early lead but then took their foot off the gas, allowing Ottawa to claw their way back into it. We give full credit to Anthony Stolarz, who kept the team in it with some massive saves, and Max Domi, who stepped up in OT with the game on his stick.We talk standout performances, what went wrong in the second half of the game, and why the Leafs can’t afford to let off the pressure moving forward. A win is a win, but if this team wants to make a real run, there’s still work to be done.

The stage is set: Leafs vs. Senators — the Battle of Ontario is finally back in the playoffs! In this episode, we build our ideal playoff forward lineup for the Leafs: who should land on the second line, how the third line should shape up, and which depth players could find themselves on the outside looking in. Then it’s a head-to-head comparison of star power: Matthews vs. Tkachuk, Nylander vs. Stützle, Marner vs. Batherson — will Ottawa’s top players have an answer for Toronto’s biggest names when the pressure is on? We also break down what to expect from Craig Berube behind the bench — how his style differs from Sheldon Keefe, and whether the Leafs' special teams can hold up against an Ottawa squad that leads the league in drawing penalties. Finally, we each pick the biggest reason the Leafs will win — and the biggest concern heading into the series. Is this finally the year the Leafs exorcise their playoff demons?

The Toronto Maple Leafs have taken a slight lead in the division with just eight games to go, but their recent stretch has been a mix of highs and frustrations. They've won five of their last seven, powered by Max Domi’s emergence as a key contributor, William Nylander’s continued brilliance, Auston Matthews getting back to form, and Brandon Carlo providing steady defense. Both goaltenders have also delivered strong performances, keeping the Leafs in the fight for the top spot. But with losses to bottom-tier teams, consistency remains a question. We preview Wednesday’s game against Florida—a potential playoff matchup—and break down how the Leafs stack up against possible first-round opponents. Can they finish strong and lock down the division?
