Treliving loses trades and his pick as coach is no where as good as the coach they fired
Berube 🤡🤡
I’d rather have Roy Marcelli and Joshua salary and have gotten 1 decent defensemen. Or top six.
LOUD NOISES!
Truth, keep Knies, JT, Nylander, Matthews, Cowan, Danford, Tanev. Sit Matthews for year. Sell everything for prospects and picks. Draft top 5, flip deadline haul to fill your roster along with UFAs. Boom 1 year fix. If it’s determined that Willy or Auston are the issue check their worth on the market.
Imagine how dumb you’d have to be to be a leaf fan lol
Looks like the players are kinda just doing what they want to do………………
They have tuned out Matthews and the coach……….
Matthews is no Captain.
Matthews better days are behind him……………….. be lucky if he scores 30 goals this season….👀🫣🙄🥱😴
32:24 this convo here, Kyper is saying the team didn’t improve itself, it didn’t risk to grab a DIFFERENT player, rather than “keep going BACK to the well”
Chicago playing well has been my only consolation for how terrible the leafs have been playing. i'm just really hoping for a low event OT win for Toronto. not holding my breath though
Literally not even kidding.. Doug is the best part of my week…. I need a better life 😂 love you Doug
LFG SAMMY MAAAAAHKEY
In losing stretches like this I always want a quick turn around into a 5-6 game winning streak just to shut the cancerous critiques of this hockey team…"they're too old too young, too talentless, too uninspired, too this, too that, too blah blah bah. People who know hockey or think they know hockey perpetually break down team play in absolute materialist ways. It is said that what makes a winning team IS WINNING!!!….a player's ability is not just how they are playing at any given moment but what their potential is. Guys your observations of what this team is and what it can be are as flawed as the way the team is playing now. Reserve the coffins and burials at the the end of the season if need be and own up to future success if and when it happens. Ive been watch the Leafs since 1970 and have seen it all. The elipical yapping in the media never helped. STFU with the overt negativity until the season be done. Thanks.
Terrible take on the JT analysis
Maclean is right Leafs did nothing in the summer. But i already knew that
When it comes to "leafs hour", this show is deteriorating by the day
Doug explained it and 20 minutes later they forgot. It easy to SAY the Oilers need to upgrade goaltending but at this time of the season trades are hard to come by. Besides, the last time the Oilers buckled and made a swing at a goalie they ended up with Campbell. They're stuck with what they have until January probably.
I am listening to this discussion and if this is going to be a experimental year (for lack of a better word) then why not let Cowan play with Mathews all year.
He is going to improve that much quicker and benefit the team after half a year….
U lost ur 2 best players. One left, another checked out.
John is a gift for the money he accepted…..
pontes Holmberg was a good defensive player
9 minutes in… no playmaker….. LOL.. yeah you chased him to Vegas!!!!! FAFO!!
Kipper sometimes says ridiculous things..its a problem we signed a 80 point JT to a team friendly contract??? What the hell is he rambling on about..he's been one of few bright spots
The hour we all gather to talk about how bad the Leafs are.
You dismiss Doughty for saying they dominated the Leafs and then you spend the next ten minutes proving him right 😂
Leafs will win the cup
kyper saying “spread it out” when it comes to willy being criticized like he doesn’t make one of the biggest lump sums of money 😭😭😭
Not a fan but it can't be easy to be one.
Decades….Over half a century.
Sincere condolences from a Bruin fan.
Yeah. There are nice Bruin fans.
Friday shows are the best – I frickin love Doug MacLean 😎
The problem they drafted players and traded for guys that have more offensive skill set. You can teach defense but if your a player that has talent and your being told not to utilize yr skill and play against your skillset it becomes a major problem. At the end of the day you can't change a guy to play how you want them to play. Especially when guys have a contract to live up to. This team was build around offensive. Slowly has diminished over the years starting with the loss of Kadri. The team needs a more offensive style . Aggressive forcheck , not passive forcheck like how they play. Quick transitions…puck cycling and very strong net presence. I do not see that. A passive defensive style does not suit this teams make up.
There won't be any repeat of the 2019 Cup Champion Blues in Toronto. Leaf players are not willing to play proper defence. Nylander will never back check in the corners, his game is to be as nonchalant as possible.
God bless Pang, and curse the Blues for letting him go. He was willing to stay for 300k but they let him go to Chicago for 600k. Blues can wallow in their sadness

Kampf should be on this team because he was stabilizing in bottom six
Switch to east west play because north isn’t working. Let them make plays
Kipper sounds dumb when talking about Tavares he makes no sense sometimes
Kipper takes a lot of times make me not want to listen and I turn it off so dumb
Somehow marner was the one to be blamed
