The Toronto Maple Leafs unravelled against the Edmonton Oilers as Connor McDavid outshone Auston Matthews in a marquee Saturday night showdown. Mike DiStefano and David Morassutti debate the ramifications of the Leafs’ lacklustre effort, calling out Toronto’s core for falling short just as the Oilers’ stars seize the spotlight. The hosts dissect defensive lapses, William Nylander’s illness, and whether reinforcements like Joseph Woll and Chris Tanev could help right the ship ahead of the matchup with the Chicago Blackhawks.
The conversation heats up with a breakdown of the Quinn Hughes blockbuster trade to the Minnesota Wild and what it signals for the future of NHL roster management. Should the Maple Leafs have moved a core player earlier, mirroring Vancouver’s bold decision?

Riellys gotta go. It was time back in 2021
Mike & Dave, what makes you think Morgan should've kept McJesus in front of him
He gets a pass, after taking 2 strides, 3 more strides he's gone by anyone!!
Did you say Echelont? Lol
Sorry guys the leafs don't have it, it's time to move on zero compete level
Saturday night the stars came to town and the leafs folded I'm not surprised
Coming from guys that probably couldn’t tie there own skates I am sure they have never had skates on
Time to cut Auston loose. He won't argue, he's wanted out for awhile now. I think he's lying about his health status, because he's afraid he won't be part of the Olympic team. Trade him, get what you can for a guy making 13M, and is on a downward spiral.
Actually i think the team USA Leafs experiment of Bubbles Trelivings have quit on the coach. Face it Berube is a scrapper by trade, skilled hockey player he was not, tactician he was not. He was handed a Blues team that was right and with leadership. But they never repeated, he failed in Philly and was unemployed when the Leafs Bubbles Treliving hired him. I expect when the cameras are off he is barking and yelling at the players like dogs. I think the boys have had enough and the foots off the gas with the team.
I think they need to trade them trade Matthews get some new Youngblood
Coilers got their ASS kicked at THE Bell and the LEAFS COLLAPSED in the 3rd and SHIT the bed drastically the " Sums it ALL up "
David the 2nd TONE was when Stecher shot the puck right into his own Net that's where the LEAFS went into SHIT PLAY
LEAFS Organization had decade to get a Player like Hughes and had the Assets to do BUT chose not to SOONER sign a TURTLE for 11M than get a Hughes
Morgan Rielly gives Me nightmares.
Why would you feel bad for Rielly, he sucks and he makes 7.5 million per year, how much do you make dude, maybe you make 50,000 per year, and you feel bad for Rielly. Wow dude.
Why are all these media personalities saying the same things? Reminds me of that one video with all the newscasters from across North America saying the same lines.
