JD starts the show with his latest Maple Leafs thoughts, before being joined by Jackie Redmond of NHL Network, TNT and WWE Network, to discuss Toronto’s three-game losing streak, accountability culture, team dynamics, the power play, the Leafs’ issues, and the definition of insanity.

How long is Berube going to keep putting AM and MM together? Did he not see how well Domi fit with AM? Just wondering.

great show today, JD!!! Love from Kitchener
"I'm just too damn good and I gotta slow down" – JD Bunkis 2025😂
I've been saying all year that this team's offence is mediocre at best. Yes, their defence and goaltending will (hopefully) keep them in games, but if you think this team is gonna get pucks past Bobrovsky or (healthy) Vasilevskiy in the playoffs, I think you're kidding yourself.
Hey JD. I appreciate your perception of our beloved Leafs. We have had such a rollercoaster ride with these guys. Thanks for your rant. Well said. Here's hoping for better days to come.
I see that the whole focus is on shaking up the deck. What about other teams that have the same lines who are successful. I just don't get it!
Isn’t there a large conflict of interest when the teams owner kinda owns over half the sports media we consume. They’re never gonna say their bosses flaws.
Christ, Florida has been on cruise control for most of the year. They're conceding the division, go grab it Leafs.
How long did they hold onto liligren and sandin ?
Listening to your show jd makes me wanna blow my head off you're living in a quagmire of criticism and negativity I don't wanna listen to that or live in that world i'd like to be optimistic and happy and not miserable like you sound and make me feel when I watch your show
I know there must be an audience for this but its not me
It's amazing how dramatic a turn Bunkis's opinions can change after a three game stretch lol
I'd put up Nylander, Reilly as trade bait and see whats offered back
Unfortunately Marner can’t run a line and Matthews is a weak playmaker with super low work ethic.
Mathews,, Marner, Nylander: Maple Snowflakes. Marner & Nylander are figure skaters with sticks and no picks. My opinion: not enough pride, not enough toughness not enough truth in the locker room.
You guys are starting to piss me off
Jackie. Luv your insights, but too weak with Mitch, please would you, could you, pretty please drive a line. Enough, these are top paid pros. They play where they are told, or sit. Enough now. 34:20
lets face it the core is not clutch
stolarz tanev macabe the real core of the team
'F' I'm 71, was 13 in 67, the last time the Leafs won the Cup, Canada's centennial year.
That was the last year of a 'SIX' team 'LEAGUE' Our division alone is now 7 team's, HELLO!!
Since 'EXPANSION' what have the Buds done
All I want is for fan's is to be rewarded for their unwavering support of these over paid under achievers. ✌
The leafs need a PP overhaul they are slow and predictable. They need a D Man who can shoot the puck from the point. I would call up steeves and minten from the marlies.
Mitch Marner is a crybaby, and when Jackie said that management has been and continues to be working hardest at trying to appease a few, who do you think she's talking about? It's Marner and probably Matthews. This core CAN NOT AND WILL NEVER WIN ANYTHING!
Ya on the spitting chiclets pod they had “Hockey illuminati” on who is a leaf fan obviously. He goes on about how it’s an “Over reaction” as you watch the most uninspired hockey club you’ve ever witnessed. These guys think the league is puddy in their hands as they go out & get out worked almost every single night. I’ve never been so embarrassed as a leaf fan these guys bring nothing but shame as far as I’m concerned. They can keep scoffing off people like me as they only care about their echo chamber fans who are literally either 5 year olds or know nothing casuals who support garbage shoveled down their throat
I've lost track of the number of posts I've seen brushing off the team's poor play with "they're in first place" or "every team goes through lulls" or "winning the Stanley Cup is _hard_". It's more exhausting than actually watching the Leafs play.
it's the same old Leafs, and will it change under coach Berube. it seems that will take more time to see real results, and playoff performance will tell.
Marner can drive a line, and seems fine to play with JT. It's #34 who needs Marner, will not settle for less. Nylander also has a hissy fit if he's on the 3rd line and his ice time goes down. They need a good 3C to play with Nylander, then they can try putting Domi with Matthews to get Domi moving. They need a 3C who is defensively responsible (since Nylander and McMann are not sure what the word defense even means), but can also set up Nylander and contribute offensively. Too bad O'Reilly seems to not be an option for a trade. Only real playmakers they have up front are Marner and Domi. Rest of them are shooters, can't pass for sht.
I realize that there are 3 things as a sports fan;
1) we have no control of the Leafs whatsoever.
2) they are not going to listen to any fans advises, and make the necessary changes.
3) I can only control whether I am going to the game, watch the game at home, or spend that time with my friends and family.
So, just enjoy the game while you can.
