Episode 49: Smoky Quarter Papi

The Leafs are back in the win column which is refreshing. What’s extra refreshing is scoring 7 unanswered goals against Montreal IN Montreal. What’s INSANELY refreshing is washing that win down with a Smoky Quarter Papi - maybe, we haven’t tried it yet. We talk a fun bounce back week for the Leafs against old friends and old foes. That plus God of the Week, This is Egregious, Numbers Game 2.0 and news around the league. Enjoy! The song in our intro/outro is “Adelaide” by Baby Tay (Taylor Whittaker). You can listen wherever you get your music.

Episode 48: Foot in Mouth

Well it's happened again. Mitch Marner said something to the media that everyone is pissed about. We know he means well, but come on Mitchy, just take a breath sometimes. The Leafs had a rough week and now seems like the perfect time to lay into some rough stuff aka the powerplay. Keefe's back in town this week, which is kind of like seeing your ex that you ended on good terms with and just wish the best for, right? That plus God of the Week, This is Egregious, Numbers Game 2.0 and news around the league. Enjoy! The song in our intro/outro is "Adelaide" by Baby Tay (Taylor Whittaker). You can find it wherever you get your music.

Episode 47: Very Knies!

A 4 game win streak has the buds rolling, baby. 1st place in the Atlantic AND they've begun padding their lead. This is new territory for this core. That AND AM34 actually looks back this time. Are we still nervous about it? A little. We get into the captain's return, plus a Knies explosion, McCabe on the shelf with another head injury, and more. Enjoy! The song you hear in our intro and outro is "Adelaide" by Baby Tay (Taylor Whittaker). You can listen wherever you get your music.

Episode 46: Hold The Line

2025 is around the corner and although we sit atop the Atlantic divison, it's looking like the Leafs are going to have to hold on for dear life until both Auston Matthews and Anthony Stolarz get healthy. The info is dire, so who knows what's ACTUALLY going on, but we talk about the ridiculous idea of shutting down AM34 for the year just for the LTIR loophole. Nonsense. We also talk Matt Murray and how much more of him will we and should we see. JT returns as the "God of the Week" - he may be "God of the Year" by this point. Plus we do Numbers Game 2.0 and talk a little news around hockey. Enjoy!

Episode 45: Holiday Amulets For Everyone

No it's not John Tavares turning back the clock, he's just always this damn consistent. Another hatty for 91 as the Leafs comeback to stun the floundering Sabres. We talk about a new look third line that has the monkey off Max Domi's back, Stolarz on IR, and do you own any Leafs holiday merchandise?? Plus God of the Week, This is Egregious, Numbers Game 2.0, and news around the league. Enjoy! The song you can hear in our intro is Adelaide by Taylor Whittaker (Baby Tay). You can listen wherever you get your music.

Episode 44: Auston's Back

The Leafs continue to roll atop the Atlantic and to add to it they're getting healthier. Auston's back, yes. Knies is back, yes. We talk all about their most recent win against Nashville and get into some rumours. Does the Kadri tire-kicking even make sense??? Is Crosby to Toronto just another edition of Leaf fans being Leaf fans. Regardless, we take the bait. Also, we get into the recent Four Nations Face Off rosters and discuss if they really even matter or are we all just waiting for 2026. Enjoy! The song you can hear in our intro is Adelaide by Taylor Whittaker (Baby Tay). You can listen wherever you get your music.

Episode 43: Backcheck, Forecheck, Paycheck

The Leafs continue their November magic with an injury ravaged lineup - the NHL just doesn't make sense sometimes. We talk being at the game against Vegas on Wednesday and how a controversial hit can spark even the quietest of suits. Andrew's God of the Week (Steven Lorentz) shows off his passion levels with an insane reference only true Leafs fans would know, and Joey is already complaining about the playoff format in This Is Egregious. Plus Numbers Game 2.0 and news around the league. Enjoy! The song you can hear in our intro is Adelaide by Taylor Whittaker (Baby Tay). You can listen wherever you get your music.

Episode 42: November Reign

Something about November makes the Leafs get hot. Like, really hot. Like, John Tavares in the Lulu Lemon ads hot. We talk about the annual November streak, plus breakdown the recent games. We give OEL his flowers in God of the Week, plus This is Egregious - aka the NHL situation room - not sure what's a goal these days - and we finish off the episode with Numbers Game 2.0 and news around the league. Enjoy!
