    Of Course It's Gudas: Leafs Snap Skid, Lose Matthews to Dirty Knee-on-Knee ft. Max Scherzer

    Nick Alberga & Jay Rosehill break down the Toronto Maple Leafs’ 6–4 win over the Anaheim Ducks, a victory that snapped their ugly eight-game losing streak and marked Toronto’s first win since February 3. The win came at a major cost, however, as Leafs captain Auston Matthews left the game in the second period following a controversial knee-on-knee collision with Radko Gudas. The boys break down the hit & discuss what discipline—if any—should come from the league. Meantime, the Leafs visit Buffalo & Minnesota this weekend, so you will get a full preview of that. Plus, hear from future Hall of Famer Max Scherzer, who stops by the show once again to talk about his return to the Blue Jays, leadership, accountability, and the pressure of playing in Toronto. 🚨 Subscribe to Leafs Nation on Youtube!🚨 ➡️  / @theleafsnation401   SHOUTOUT TO OUR SPONSORS!! 👍🏼Powered by @bet365.

    Max Scherzer Interview

    Future Hall of Fame pitcher Max Scherzer joins Nick Alberga & Jay Rosehill for a wide-ranging conversation on his return to the Toronto Blue Jays and the mentality that’s made him one of the fiercest competitors in professional sports. Scherzer discusses whether it was always Toronto in free agency, revealing that several teams were interested before ultimately deciding to return. He also shares a great family story about his daughter writing a letter to Santa asking for her dad to come back to the Blue Jays. From there, Max reflects on the club’s heartbreaking Game 7 loss in the World Series and why he believes there’s still unfinished business in Toronto. The conversation also touches on Scherzer’s spring debut, where he’s at physically, and the plan moving forward as he prepares for another season. Known for his legendary intensity, Scherzer dives into what accountability and leadership mean to him—something that naturally leads to a discussion about the pressure that comes with playing in Toronto, especially for teams like the Toronto Maple Leafs. With Toronto’s leaders taking plenty of heat this season, Scherzer explains how great competitors stay confident, motivated, and hungry when their team is struggling. The guys also compare Scherzer’s relentless edge to longtime NHL agitator Corey Perry, and Max talks about the pride he takes in still competing like a bulldog at 41. Plus, Scherzer reflects on what ultimately clicked inside the Blue Jays clubhouse last season after a slow start, the importance of culture for teams expected to win, and why he’d love to get out to a Leafs game in April to see Alex Ovechkin play in Toronto—potentially for the final time. #LeafsForever #LeafsMorningTake 🚨 Subscribe to Leafs Nation on Youtube!🚨 ➡️ / @theleafsnation401 SHOUTOUT TO OUR SPONSORS!! 👍🏼Powered by @bet365.

    Joel Quenneville Interview

    Three-time Stanley Cup champion head coach Joel Quenneville joined Nick Alberga & Jay Rosehill ahead of Anaheim Ducks visiting the Toronto Maple Leafs. Quenneville kicked things off by discussing what it’s been like returning to the NHL after a few years away and recently reaching the 1,000-win milestone behind the bench. He also shared the biggest lesson he’s learned about winning in this league over the course of his career. From there, “Q” broke down this year’s Ducks team—currently sitting atop the Pacific Division—including the impact of acquiring veteran defenseman John Carlson. He also talked about accountability in today’s NHL, his neutral stance on iPads on the bench, and what he’s seen from the Leafs from the outside looking in. Additionally, Quenneville explained why he views the Atlantic as the toughest division in hockey right now—partly due to years of teams loading up and the expected turnover that follows. He also weighed in on the pressure that comes with playing in the Toronto market before previewing Anaheim’s matchup with the Leafs and why facing struggling teams late in the season can be deceptively tricky. #LeafsForever #LeafsMorningTake 🚨 Subscribe to Leafs Nation on Youtube!🚨 ➡️ / @theleafsnation401 SHOUTOUT TO OUR SPONSORS!! 👍🏼Powered by @bet365.

    Jean-Sébastien Giguère Interview

    Nick Alberga & Jay Rosehill are joined by 2003 Conn Smythe Trophy winner and former Maple Leaf J-S Giguere. First, Giggy weighs in on Toronto’s loss in Montreal, highlighting Joseph Woll’s sparkling performance. From there, the conversation shifts to the Leafs’ crease situation, where Giguere suggests the team actually has three formidable options moving forward—and that management could consider dealing whichever goalie would bring back the biggest return in a trade this summer. He also likes the idea of Toronto attempting to rebuild on the fly. When asked about what led to the Leafs’ downfall this season, Giguere points directly at leadership, noting that at the end of the day players still have to play. He believes Auston Matthews could use more help in leading the team. Giguere also reflects on his time in Toronto, what it was like playing on a losing team, and how he handled difficult situations behind the scenes. Lastly, he touches on the pressure of the Toronto media market and what it’s really like to play in the city—something he says he truly enjoyed. #LeafsForever #LeafsMorningTake 🚨 Subscribe to Leafs Nation on Youtube!🚨 ➡️ / @theleafsnation401 SHOUTOUT TO OUR SPONSORS!! 👍🏼Powered by @bet365.

    Frankie Corrado Interview

    Former Maple Leaf & TSN Hockey Analyst Frankie Corrado joined Nick Alberga and Jay Rosehill to break down the current state of the Toronto Maple Leafs. First, he weighed in on the big Matthew Knies trade rumour after Nick Kypreos reported that the Leafs and Montreal Canadiens discussed a potential deal prior to the trade deadline. Corrado talked through the pros and cons of moving Knies right now and whether it would make sense for Toronto to even consider it. He also shared his thoughts on the trade deadline, the organization’s current plan, and where things stand for the team during this difficult stretch. Corrado reflected on his experience with the 2015-16 Leafs team that bottomed out and ultimately landed Auston Matthews first overall, and how that situation compares to what Toronto is going through today. Additionally, the guys discussed the future of head coach Craig Berube, what needs to change with this group moving forward, and why the team has looked so lifeless lately. To wrap things up, Corrado touched on how quickly the Canadiens were able to retool — and what lessons the Leafs could take from the way Montreal handled its rebuild. #LeafsForever #LeafsMorningTake 🚨 Subscribe to Leafs Nation on Youtube!🚨 ➡️ / @theleafsnation401 SHOUTOUT TO OUR SPONSORS!! 👍🏼Powered by @bet365.
