On Episode 138 of the Gluttons For Punishment Podcast, Michael Lepore and Anthony Bruno discuss whether Auston Matthews and Connor McDavid are getting robbed of the Hart Trophy during their historic statistical seasons. Matthews is on pace to score the most goals since Mario Lemieux in 1995-1996 while McDavid is on pace to record 100 assists for the first time since Wayne Gretzky in 1990-1991, but Nathan MacKinnon is the favourite to win NHL MVP. They also discuss the state of the Leafs with 12 games to go in the regular season, whether the Max Domi and Tyler Bertuzzi signings are paying off, the battle between lya Samsonov and Joseph Woll to be the Game 1 playoff starter, and the Eastern Conference playoff race.

The Oilers have 13 games left and McDavid has 3 in hand on both MacKinnon and Kucherov, the Hart trophy is far from being over.
Thanks Boys! always the best Leaf content..loving the Hart takes..I saw the Leafs at a different level last Saturday night..finally stepped up the toughness..type of play that you need for a long playoff run…feeling good!
Once again listening to you guys is brutal lol. Literally the most delusional and cringe takes. I stopped watching your podcast months ago…..came back to see if your any different…..nope same old delusions. These two are what I hate about leaf fans lmao
Great show guys listening well making home made chicken soup 🍲 hope it comes out good 😂
Woll would be my Starter. I think the Leafs being the 5 or 6 seed is ok .It will make them play smart and do everything right good show GFP Podcast 🎉 🎉🎉🎉🏒
I always get fired up for your pod! Best time of the year coming up!

Who do you think is going to win the Hart Trophy as NHL MVP? 🤔🏆
Can’t believe I’ve planted my flag on the Oilers in the Western Conference. What a turn of events! 😅
What this team needs is Tavares to drop the gloves in game 82, show some emotion and rile up the bench show them he has bought into playoff grit. I know it wont happen but if I was in his shoes and I knew everyone knew it wasn't in my nature I would do it to make a statement to the rest of the boys.
Until Edmonton legitimately addresses their defensive unit, I will never take them seriously
Game 1 starter Woll. Matt Murray may lead us to the cup tho.
Nate is top two scoring, you guys are talking like he's not having a great year, out of the four his team is by far in a better spot in the standings. Hes going to finish top 5 in goals, assists and might win the art ross. Like he should definetly be the favourite. Like im not sure how you guys arent seeing this but everyone is entitled to their opinion. Cheers guys!
Also…..Comparining him to the Taylor Hall season is nuts 😂 Hall barely got his boys to the playoffs where Nate has been the leader on a team contending for the Presidents trophy.
