    Nick Alberga & Jay Rosehill break down Toronto’s impressive 4-0 win over New Jersey, powered by a 33-save shutout from Joseph Woll. Despite being without nearly $38M in cap hits due to injury — including Auston Matthews, William Nylander, Anthony Stolarz, Chris Tanev, and Brandon Carlo — the Maple Leafs delivered one of their most complete performances of the season. SiriusXM NHL Network Radio host Steve Kouleas drops by to share his take on what the win says about this banged-up Leafs group, and the guys also react in real time to the release of Canada’s Olympic roster.

    Mats Sundin Reacts to Auston Matthews Becoming the Leafs’ All-Time Goal Leader

    Nick Alberga & Zack Phillips sit down with Maple Leafs legend Mats Sundin, who reacts to Auston Matthews passing him to become the all-time franchise leader in goals. Mats reflects on the significance of the milestone, the evolution of goal scoring in today’s NHL, and what Matthews’ achievement says about his place in Maple Leafs history. Budweiser Zero and Mats Sundin are celebrating the #KingsOfAssists. It’s a nod to the players whose passes, instincts and chemistry helped build every goal along the way. Custom Budweiser Zero cans have been created for each one of them, printed with their specific assist numbers. Led by the icon and previous record holder, the campaign acknowledges what it takes to carry expectations in a market like Toronto. It highlights the heart, effort, and collaboration required to keep showing up as a group, especially through challenging windows, reinforcing that milestones are about shared responsibility as much as individual achievement. #LeafsForever #LeafsMorningTake 🚨 Subscribe to Leafs Nation on Youtube!🚨 ➡️ / @theleafsnation401 SHOUTOUT TO OUR SPONSORS!! 👍🏼Powered by @bet365.

    Steve Kouleas Interview

    SiriusXM NHL Network Radio host Steve Kouleas joined Nick Alberga & Jay Rosehill to break down Toronto’s impressive 4-0 shutout win over New Jersey. Despite missing key pieces like Auston Matthews, William Nylander, and Chris Tanev, the Leafs bought in and delivered one of their most complete efforts of the season — and Kouleas weighs in on who stood out most. Kouleas also digs into Toronto’s ongoing zone-exit issues, why they’ve looked improved of late, and what he’s seeing from the Leafs’ power play, which has gone 4-for-10 since the firing of Marc Savard. The numbers look good, but Kouleas explains why he’s not fully sold just yet. Plus, a deep dive on Matthew Knies — his fight with Nico Hischier, why Kouleas sees a Wendel Clark–style throwback, and just how important Knies is to this team moving forward. The conversation wraps with what the Leafs need to do to climb back into a playoff spot, whether Kouleas believes they can pull it off, and his No. 1 Leafs-related New Year’s resolution. 🎙️🏒 #LeafsForever #LeafsMorningTake 🚨 Subscribe to Leafs Nation on Youtube!🚨 ➡️ / @theleafsnation401 SHOUTOUT TO OUR SPONSORS!! 👍🏼Powered by @bet365.

    Injuries Piling Up Again: Leafs Host Keefe’s Devils in Final Game of 2025 ft. Pete DeBoer

    Nick Alberga & David Pagnotta tee up Toronto’s final game of 2025 as the Maple Leafs host Sheldon Keefe’s New Jersey Devils in a matchup loaded with real standings implications. The Leafs enter the night 2-0-1 since firing Marc Savard, coming off a weekend where they banked 3 of a possible 4 points — but injuries are piling up again. Chris Tanev and Dakota Joshua are sidelined, Auston Matthews is a game-time decision, and the guys break down how Toronto can manage yet another stretch of adversity, what’s actually changed, and what still hasn’t. Plus, with Canada’s Olympic roster set to be announced on New Year’s Eve at Noon ET, free-agent NHL head coach Pete DeBoer stops by the show. DeBoer, who has been linked to the Leafs job should Craig Berube be shown the door, weighs in on the Olympic reveal, the coaching landscape around the league, and the growing buzz in Toronto. #LeafsForever #LeafsMorningTake 🚨 Subscribe to Leafs Nation on Youtube!🚨 ➡️ / @theleafsnation401 SHOUTOUT TO OUR SPONSORS!! 👍🏼Powered by @bet365.

    Pete DeBoer Interview

    Pete DeBoer joins Nick Alberga & David Pagnotta to break down how coaches manage messaging when injuries start to pile up, as the Leafs deal with key absences — Dakota Joshua and Chris Tanev are out, Auston Matthews is a game-time decision, and William Nylander won’t play. DeBoer also shares his thoughts on how injuries are covered and discussed around the NHL. The conversation then turns to Elliotte Friedman’s weekend report, with DeBoer explaining why he felt it was important to reach out — through a mutual friend — to Craig Berube to shut down speculation linking him to the Toronto job. DeBoer opens up about what he’s looking for in his next NHL opportunity. To wrap it up, DeBoer previews the upcoming Olympics, where he’ll serve as an assistant coach for Canada in Milan. He dives into roster construction, internal player debates, and how the slower ice and smaller dimensions of the Milan Olympic rink could shape Team Canada’s approach. #LeafsForever #LeafsMorningTake 🚨 Subscribe to Leafs Nation on Youtube!🚨 ➡️ / @theleafsnation401 SHOUTOUT TO OUR SPONSORS!! 👍🏼Powered by @bet365.

    Three of Four Points, Power Play Heating Up, Leafs Showing Signs of Life

    Nick Alberga & Jay Rosehill recap a productive weekend for the Maple Leafs, who picked up 3 of a possible 4 points with a wild 7-5 win over Ottawa at Scotiabank Arena before falling 3-2 in overtime in Detroit. Toronto is now 2-0-1 since the firing of Marc Savard, and the boys dig into what’s changed early on. That includes a breakdown of Steve Sullivan’s promotion from the AHL’s Marlies, as he steps in to take over Savard’s role behind the bench. Plus, with the power play starting to show real signs of life, Nick and Jay discuss whether this recent stretch is a sign of things finally trending in the right direction — or just a brief spark. #LeafsForever #LeafsMorningTake 🚨 Subscribe to Leafs Nation on Youtube!🚨 ➡️ / @theleafsnation401 SHOUTOUT TO OUR SPONSORS!! 👍🏼Powered by @bet365.
