    Matthews & Team USA Off to White House, Leafs Tampa Bound ft. Jeremy Roenick

    Nick Alberga & Zack Phillips react as the celebration tour rolls on for Team USA following their thrilling gold medal victory at the Milan Games. From champagne showers in Italy to a headline-making night in Miami, the party didn’t stop there — Auston Matthews and company were then invited to Washington as guests for President Donald Trump’s State of the Union address at the White House. With the Leafs set to return to action Wednesday night, the boys debate a hot-button question: does Matthews owe it to Toronto to suit up immediately, or has he earned the right to take a breather after leading Team USA to gold? Plus, American hockey icon and Hall of Famer Jeremy Roenick joins the show to break down the Milan Games, weigh in on Matthews’ growing legacy, and assess whether the Maple Leafs have enough runway left this season to turn things around. #LeafsForever #LeafsMorningTake 🚨 Subscribe to Leafs Nation on Youtube!🚨 ➡️ / @theleafsnation401 SHOUTOUT TO OUR SPONSORS!! 👍🏼Powered by @bet365.

    Jeremy Roenick Interview

    Hockey Hall of Famer Jeremy Roenick joined Nick Alberga & Zack Phillips to break down Team USA’s thrilling 2-1 OT gold medal win over Canada at the Milan Games.

Plus, Roenick shares insight on what it’s really like returning to the NHL grind after the emotional high of the Olympics, and weighs in on the Maple Leafs’ playoff outlook.

Jack Hughes played the hero, putting home the OT winner, while Connor Hellebuyck stood on his head in a sensational performance between the pipes. Leafs captain Auston Matthews delivered on the biggest stage, picking up a key assist and leading Team USA to the top of the podium. The boys dive into what this moment means for Matthews’ legacy. Speaking of which, Mike Modano, one of the greatest American hockey players of all-time, stops by to dish on the Leafs' captain. Plus, with the Olympic break over, attention shifts back to the Toronto Maple Leafs as they gear up to return to action Wednesday night in Tampa. #LeafsForever #LeafsMorningTake 🚨 Subscribe to Leafs Nation on Youtube!🚨 ➡️ / @theleafsnation401 SHOUTOUT TO OUR SPONSORS!! 👍🏼Powered by @bet365.

    Mike Modano Interview

    Hockey Hall of Famer Mike Modano joins Nick Alberga & Jay Rosehill for a can't-miss conversation following Team USA’s gold medal triumph over Canada at the Milan Games. Modano reflects on the emotion of watching the Americans capture gold, what the victory means south of the border, and the pride — and pressure — that comes with representing your country at the Olympic Games as an NHL player. He takes listeners inside that unique experience and explains why moments like this can define careers. The conversation naturally turns to Auston Matthews, who captained Team USA to gold. Modano weighs in on Matthews’ leadership and performance in Milan, and whether this championship moment shifts the narrative around the Leafs captain’s legacy. A few weeks removed from his headline-making appearance on OverDrive, Modano also clarifies his comments about the intense scrutiny that comes with playing in Toronto. He explains what he meant, why the market is so demanding, and why he believes Matthews can use this Olympic win as a springboard for even bigger things — provided he gets more support around him with the Toronto Maple Leafs. To wrap, Modano shares his thoughts on Toronto’s playoff outlook and what it will take for the Leafs to translate star power into postseason success. #LeafsForever #LeafsMorningTake 🚨 Subscribe to Leafs Nation on Youtube!🚨 ➡️ / @theleafsnation401 SHOUTOUT TO OUR SPONSORS!! 👍🏼Powered by @bet365.

    David Pagnotta Interview

    David Pagnotta joined Nick Alberga & Zack Phillips to break down Mitch Marner’s OT heroics for Canada and what the Maple Leafs could be thinking as the March 6th NHL trade deadline approaches. Pagnotta touched on the surprise return of Chris Tanev to practice following the Olympic break, provided an update on Dakota Joshua’s injury status, and addressed the big question surrounding Morgan Rielly — is there any scenario where he’s dealt before the deadline? (Rielly is good to go after missing the final two games before the break.) With Toronto sitting six points out and 25 games left, Pagnotta dives into what management could be thinking as crunch time looms. He also weighs the futures of Bobby McMann and Scott Laughton — are they more likely to be moved, or re-signed? Plenty of deadline intrigue, roster speculation, and insight from one of the best in the business. #LeafsForever #LeafsMorningTake 🚨 Subscribe to Leafs Nation on Youtube!🚨 ➡️ / @theleafsnation401 SHOUTOUT TO OUR SPONSORS!! 👍🏼Powered by @bet365.

    Leafs Trolled After Marner's Epic OT Winner, Matthews Moves On, & Sweden Done ft. David Pagnotta

    Nick Alberga & Zack Phillips break down a wild day at the Milan Games, headlined by Canada’s thrilling 4-3 OT win over Czechia. Former Maple Leaf Mitch Marner — often criticized for not delivering in the biggest moments — silenced the noise (at least temporarily) by burying the OT winner. The goal set off a social media frenzy, with the hockey world — including Roberto Luongo, Chris Pronger, Mark Stone, and Jon Cooper — taking playful jabs at the Maple Leafs. Meanwhile, Leafs captain Auston Matthews picked up an assist on Quinn Hughes’ OT winner as USA edged Sweden 2-1 to punch their ticket to the semifinals. With the loss, William Nylander and Oliver Ekman-Larsson are officially heading home. Back in Toronto, the Maple Leafs returned to the ice ahead of next Wednesday’s return to action. The boys react to encouraging updates, including Dakota Joshua, Morgan Rielly, and even Chris Tanev skating again. Plus, NHL Insider David Pagnotta joins the show to discuss Toronto’s looming March 6 trade deadline plans and what this stretch run could look like coming out of the break. #LeafsForever #LeafsMorningTake 🚨 Subscribe to Leafs Nation on Youtube!🚨 ➡️ / @theleafsnation401 SHOUTOUT TO OUR SPONSORS!! 👍🏼Powered by @bet365.

    Canada & USA Rest, Nylander & OEL Face Latvia for a Date With Matthews in the Quarters

    Nick Alberga & Jay Rosehill break down the latest from the men’s Olympic hockey tournament, with plenty of Maple Leafs flavour. William Nylander and Oliver Ekman-Larsson suit up for Sweden as they battle Latvia on Tuesday. A win would punch Sweden’s ticket to the quarterfinals — and set up a must-watch showdown with Auston Matthews and United States. Meanwhile, Canada awaits its quarterfinal opponent, drawing either Czechia or Denmark on Wednesday. The boys also dive into the heated Crinon/Wilson altercation that led to the French Ice Hockey Federation banning Crinon for the remainder of the tournament. Plus, they highlight Matthews’ red-hot performance so far and what it could mean for both Team USA’s medal hopes and the Toronto Maple Leafs down the stretch. #LeafsForever #LeafsMorningTake 🚨 Subscribe to Leafs Nation on Youtube!🚨 ➡️ / @theleafsnation401 SHOUTOUT TO OUR SPONSORS!! 👍🏼Powered by @bet365.

    Canada Crushes Czechia, Switzerland Next, & Where's Willy? 🤔 ft. Curtis Joseph

    Nick Alberga, Jay Rosehill, and Zack Phillips break down Canada’s emphatic 5-0 beatdown of Czechia in its Milan Games opener. Additionally, they preview the second half of the back-to-back as Canada tangles with Switzerland. They also zero in on the Leafs contingent at the Games — Auston Matthews captaining Team USA and the Swedish duo of William Nylander and Oliver Ekman-Larsson. Speaking of Nylander, he missed another practice on Thursday. While there’s been no official confirmation, it’s clear he’s still managing that lingering groin issue. The guys discuss the level of concern and what it could mean for both Sweden and Toronto down the stretch. Plus, former Canadian Olympic gold medalist and Maple Leafs legend Curtis Joseph stops by to share his thoughts on the tournament and the Maple Leafs as well. #LeafsForever #LeafsMorningTake 🚨 Subscribe to Leafs Nation on Youtube!🚨 ➡️ / @theleafsnation401 SHOUTOUT TO OUR SPONSORS!! 👍🏼Powered by @bet365.
