    Nick Alberga & Jay Rosehill are joined by Jacob Quillan fresh off his first taste of NHL action to close out the season with the Toronto Maple Leafs. Quillan kicks things off by previewing the start of the Calder Cup Playoffs and Toronto’s best-of-three matchup against the Rochester Americans, sharing his excitement level heading into the postseason. He then reflects on how his stint with the Leafs has boosted his confidence and how that experience carries into playoff hockey. From there, Quillan breaks down the jump from the American Hockey League to the National Hockey League, reveals the “sickest” part about being in the show, and credits Scott Laughton as a key glue guy who helped make the transition smoother. He also dives into the story behind his first NHL goal—finally getting it in game No. 22—while sharing what stood out most during his time at the top level and what areas he’s focused on improving moving forward. To wrap things up, Quillan gives high praise to a pair of rising netminders, Dennis Hildeby and Artur Akhtyamov, offering insight into their games and why he believes both have bright futures ahead. 🚨 Subscribe to Leafs Nation on Youtube!🚨 ➡️ / @theleafsnation401 SHOUTOUT TO OUR SPONSORS!! 👍🏼Powered by @bet365.

    Mark Masters Interview

    TSN Leafs reporter Mark Masters joins Nick Alberga & Jay Rosehill for a wide-ranging conversation. Masters kicks things off by grading Easton Cowan’s rookie season before diving into the surreal reality of the Leafs missing the playoffs for the first time in a decade—something that still feels strange around the organization. He shares his perspective from locker clean-out day, the overall vibe in the room throughout the season, and whether there was a noticeable turning point where things began to unravel. From there, the conversation shifts to the big-picture outlook. Does this team view 2025-26 as a one-off failure? Masters weighs in and explains why he believes whoever takes over must go on an absolute heater to quickly change the trajectory. He also touches on the buzz surrounding Mats Sundin being in Toronto and the potential of him joining the organization in a management role—why it makes sense, and how his presence could impact key players like William Nylander. Finally, Masters breaks down the latest on the Leafs’ GM search, including the growing noise around Mike Gillis and what he could potentially bring to the table. 🚨 Subscribe to Leafs Nation on Youtube!🚨 ➡️ / @theleafsnation401 SHOUTOUT TO OUR SPONSORS!! 👍🏼Powered by @bet365.
