    Toronto Maple Leafs throwing away chance at top 5 draft pick and prolonging inevitable rebuild

    The Toronto Maple Leafs continue to add to their disastrous season by winning their way out of contention for a bottom-5 draft pick and handing the Boston Bruins a top-10 selection this offseason. We break down the now-disastrous decision to not fire Craig Berube, Brad Treliving's uncertain future, and Keith Pelley waiting too long to make critical decisions. We discuss why the organization being a rudderless ship is making it difficult to be a fan right now, and give our take on the Leafs' goaltending depth and whether the organization would consider moving one of them this offseason. Watch on YouTube here: https://youtu.be/vziTf9I35j8 (0:00) – A rudderless ship  (02:30) – Not firing Berube was a massive mistake  (07:47) – The Leafs deserve the fan backlash  (16:20) – DraftKings  (18:00) – Pelley is way too slow to act  (23:40) – The Blue Jays are Toronto's #1 team now  (25:17) – It's really hard to be a Leafs fan right now  (28:00) – Leafs goaltending depth and trade options  (32:33) – Matthew Knies  (36:22) – Special announcement  Follow us on tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@UCgnU5Tj0yJx0QN6IjYPwqLA  Follow us on instagram: https://www.instagram.com/talkinbudsleafs/  Download the DraftKings Sportsbook app and use code THPN.

    Toronto Maple Leafs: Craig Berube Doing More Harm Than Good | No Organizational Direction

    Toronto Maple Leafs head coach Craig Berube continues to look completely lost behind the bench, this time calling out Joe Woll after Friday's loss to Carolina. We break down why the Leafs probably should've moved on from Berube instead of just Marc Savard earlier this season, and why he's had such a short shelf life with this roster. We also discuss the organization's complete lack of direction, especially when compared to teams like the Tampa Bay Lightning, and why it's so hard to feel optimistic about the future until the Leafs provide clarity, stability, and direction to the fanbase.  Watch on YouTube here: https://youtu.be/zYAC0g-E5lY (0:00) – Berube's baffling Joe Woll comments  (09:00) – The organization's lack of direction is deflating  (12:52) – Tampa Bay is the gold standard  (18:04) – DraftKings  (19:42) – Berube's short shelf life  (26:55) – Would firing Berube instead of Savard have saved the season?  (30:47) – Nylander's nonchalant attitude  (34:35) – Tavares quietly hits 25 goals again  Follow us on tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@UCgnU5Tj0yJx0QN6IjYPwqLA  Follow us on instagram: https://www.instagram.com/talkinbudsleafs/  Download the DraftKings Sportsbook app and use code THPN.

    Toronto Maple Leafs: Embrace the Rebuild and Move to the Next Era

    The Toronto Maple Leafs' lack of toughness and compete level continues to dominate conversation among fans and media, and we once again ask the question: why is this so surprising to everyone? We discuss the need for a full rebuild and why the team should strongly consider moving on from Auston Matthews and/or William Nylander to truly turn the page and start fresh. We also break down the personality traits we'd like to see in the next general manager and preview this weekend's back-to-back against Carolina and Ottawa.

    Leafs Captain Auston Matthews Injured on Gudas Cheap Shot | Rally to Beat Ducks

    The Toronto Maple Leafs finally got back in the win column Thursday night with a 6-4 victory over the Anaheim Ducks, a game that saw Radko Gudas cheap shot Auston Matthews with a dirty knee-on-knee hit. We break down the Leafs' lack of response in the moment, followed by the edge they showed in the 3rd period that we haven't seen all season. We also discuss the culture issues within the team and MLSE as a whole, and predict that was likely the last we'll see of Auston Matthews this season.

We continue to break down Brad Treliving's underwhelming trade deadline, the pathetic play on the ice, and the very apparent lack of direction within the organization.

    Toronto Maple Leafs GM Brad Treliving left fans underwhelmed at the NHL Trade Deadline after getting off to a promising start by moving Nic Roy. We break down the disappointing return for Bobby McMann, the embarrassing return for Scott Laughton, and the overall sense of incompetence and lack of direction plaguing the organization.

    Toronto Maple Leafs: An Organizational Disaster | Back to the Dark Ages

    The Toronto Maple Leafs returned from the Olympic break in complete organizational chaos, playing some of the worst hockey this franchise has seen in over a decade. We're back after our post-Olympic break to discuss why the Leafs need a full rebuild instead of a half-hearted retool, the uncertain futures of Craig Berube and Brad Treliving, and why Keith Pelley is on a fast track to becoming the next John Ferguson Jr. or Harold Ballard if he doesn't make major changes soon.
