Nick Alberga & Jay Rosehill break down Toronto’s impressive 4-0 win over New Jersey, powered by a 33-save shutout from Joseph Woll. Despite being without nearly $38M in cap hits due to injury — including Auston Matthews, William Nylander, Anthony Stolarz, Chris Tanev, and Brandon Carlo — the Maple Leafs delivered one of their most complete performances of the season.
SiriusXM NHL Network Radio host Steve Kouleas drops by to share his take on what the win says about this banged-up Leafs group, and the guys also react in real time to the release of Canada’s Olympic roster. All that, plus it’s New Year’s Eve — the final episode of 2025!

I dunno I see it like this. When the big boys are out the team elevates to their potential. It seems the boys hesitant because the pass has to go too Willy or Mathews. I saw last night a team that scored playoff goals. Pucks on net and people in front. I feel they look for the stars to often rather than doing the simple straight forward things. Seems like the process works when everyone isn't worried about doing what's predictable.
Most of the time,I am possitive about the team..even if they manage to get into the playoffs,I don’t see these guys going far..considering,the goal is to win it all,do you think the Leafs will go for a short rebuild? As much i like Matthews,I don’t like him as a captain and the last 1,5 years,he has not been able to elevate his line,or make the players around him better..
Will the Sharks be a good option for our captain or would you rather switch it up,with other players?
Clears as day to me…when the big paid players are out of the line up , the players on all lines are not influenced by these low intensity over paid players
great show boys. as always.
You need 34 and 88 but* you have to stop deferring to them and let some of the other guys get more minutes.
This Nick is getting annoying with not making playoffs and trades. If they are way out a playoff spot nobody's watching your show. Get a head on your shoulders.
They were on the same line for awhile which means the others still could play like they did last night it’s all mental. Makes no sense but that’s sport
Can Berube ride this lineup? Best looking hockey I've seen from the leafs in years. Reminds me of a Blues team from years back. Just make it to the playoffs. Be the hotter team out of the break in this freak year of point distribution.
Nick Robertson was phenomenal that game. It actually makes me upset that the coaching staff have slept on both him and Cowan. Get those two guys on the same line, and watch the magic happen.
Thanks for being a part of this show and Leafs Nation Rosie.. we’re lucky to have you! 👌
Night at the Roxbury throwback was not on my Leafs Nation bingo card today!!!! Happy New Year lads! "Emeliooooooo"
wanted to make this show today, but missed it. i wish for the life of me and the fandom of this fuckin' hockey team for all fans that rosehills takes from this video could be aired in the dressing room by somebody, berube or ultimately, rosehill himself. but hell no, this will never happen, its a shame. your talking millions and millions of dollars involved in this hockey team and its sad that the truth that rosehill speaks cannot be said in the dressing room.
The ice is only 4ft smaller than Olympic size. I would love to see it played on old Boston garden size lots of hits.
Rosie's Quote " You need guys to play like that" says it all
4:55 yeah that’s Matthew’s and he’s not good enough anymore to justify the dead fish face zero leadership or intensity, time to trade him, last night was a real team
No Geekie with Team Canuck!? WTH!
If you could be a little more professional and exclude your F-WORDS from your otherwise great show I and the kids would appreciate it. Thanks
