Nick Alberga & Jay Rosehill dig into a busy day at Leafs practice, where Craig Berube offered fresh updates on Toronto’s growing injury list. The guys break down what’s new, what’s concerning, and who might be back soon. Plus, projected lottery pick Keaton Verhoeff — standout defenceman from the University of North Dakota and a top name for next June’s NHL Draft — joins the show for a great chat.

rather hear some of rosies coaching stories than the maple laughs tbh
The scouting department is not effective enough at identifying talented, gritty, or skilled players, and the General Manager subsequently trades away the valuable players, leaving the team with depleted resources. The $uccess is in the advertising and marketing.
Players are not responding to the coach; he's got to go, because you can't fire 23 players.
Oilers and Stars playing as the lone game I’m taking a anytime goal Robertson. My new routine is listening to the show and getting my hr walk in and that helps me stay motivated to continue listening to the show with the Leafs playing so bad its getting tougher to stay motivated in this team.
We can’t give Tree another trade deadline. He’s already pissed away too much draft capital. Bring in Armstrong and Futa to navigate this rebuild. Tell Matthews and Nylander the team is going in another direction and to submit a list of teams. Need to try and get their 26 back from Boston and 27 from Flyers.
Too many athletes today, and not just hockey , but it appears Toronto has its share, get paid the big bucks and so what really is the incentive to win? Why go above and beyond or even what should be expected when you don’t have to? Why play when a little banged up when you don’t have to? All this crap about salary cap going up so everyone should get more. That is such a joke. You get more when you deserve more. I am willing to see what happens by Christmas if and when everyone gets back. But one thing I would do: Tell 34 he is not going to Olympics. Get healthy or whatever and earn your cash and help your team. I could go on but that is enough for now.
Leafs should hire Rosie to an assistant coaching gig asap
Last year was the Leafs window to win a Stanley Cup. All the players (warts and all) were primed and ready. But as usual when it required the most grit and effort, they faltered. If you can't win with these guys and the farm has minimal talent…no retool, just rebuild. Imagine the picks they can get for 34, 88 and 44. Build around Knies.
I predicted this in the summer. All play went through Marner. You cut out the heart of a team and it dies. The ML have to start over…a mortal mistake. I would have made Marner a Hutson style defenseman during the playoffs…
Trade Stolarz to Edmonton. Continue with a young great tandem.
Trade Tavares to Montreal for a couple speedy young fowards. Trade OEL for a young fast right handed defenseman and a draft choice. Start the rebuild. Contact me as required T.
ML trade 4 first draft choice players EC,RS,TL,MM…then trade 2 upcoming first round draft choice all for presently, NOTHING….ridiculous…recipe for failure…no winder they are useless..6 first round draft choice…unprecedented..face reality of mismanagement…
We need to move Mo44 onto the top line with Auston and Knies.
Classic bi-polar Leafs fans. Nick said +2000 Leafs to win🏆before the season was “GREAT VALUE.”
6-7 weeks later in the title is “Tank Talk”?!?😂
At least Nick called himself out for it here (and Jay made fun of it being so pervasive in the market so early in the season).😅
FWIW I think Jay could be a good NHL coach if he wanted to be. At the very least an important assistant.
PS Nylander is also a positive on the season even if people don’t always like his body language and he floats some. Being tied for 5th in points has to count for something. 29 points in 19 games is a 125 point pace over 82 game season! He’s also +5 so his lines on the whole win. 2nd best on the team as Matthews is +9. Those two, JT, Knies aren’t the problem it’s horrid defense, inconsistent goaltending, and depth period outside the 5 best forwards. Robertson has been solid too when given a chance as has Cowan.
