Nick Alberga & Jay Rosehill break down another brutal night for the Maple Leafs, recapping Toronto’s 5–2 loss in Seattle to open a four-game road trip ahead of the Olympic break. The Leafs are now winless in six, sitting ten points out of a playoff spot with just twenty-eight games remaining — so yeah, the conversation turns to sell mode. The boys also tee up Saturday night’s matchup in Vancouver as Toronto takes on the league-worst Canucks. Plus, former Leafs GM and longtime NHL broadcaster Gord Stellick drops by to put this whole shit show into perspective.

Rogers owner should fire all leaf media that he employed.
Shit they have been complaining about this team not starting on time since back before Jay played for them! xD
It's wild listening to a former leaf (even if for a stint) who calls out the same culture rot and effort the Fans do. I would love to hear you have insight as to why and if anyone would (out of all the youtube guys) but clearly if you did you would share it xD
The season is lost so why not try taking away the digital pacifiers for the last 28 games and see what happens.
If Laughton Wants to resign then it's a good sign, if we trade him and hear he wanted out or he walks it's not a good sign. REmember when we traded for O'Reilly and he wanted out because of the leafs culture?! A stanley cup winner who gave up in Buffalo and then won in St Louis. Just weird
I don't understand all the politics of an NHL team but why tf if the players are not playing the way the coach wants they don't get BENCHED! Too scary? Good go watch the game in the press box!! It's nice and safe there. We'll find somebody to do your job for you while you watch…..
Pelley needs to show Tre the door and let Pridham wheel. he has been the brains behind the teams for what almost a decade now?? let him give it a go
Guys Marner was the issue. 😂😂😂😂😂
I’m changing your Stomped in Seattle to Sleepless in Seattle. My God this Team gets more brutal as games go on. They proved what we feared that our beloved Leaf’s start of the season would crumble n fall to last nights brutal Lackadaisical game since 1985 season. Leafs have shown that they have gone from Bad to worst display of basic Hockey knowledge. They have proven that they are not interested in fanbase or professionalism,We feared the worst in this team effort but not in this case of pure Dog Piss n Shit. Leafs are not only getting their Shit pumped but also getting their Shit handed to them on a dogs bowl . The lack of play on ice n off is poorly displayed in front our eyes . The Leafs are throwing Shit Balls on this fanbase without empathy or remorse. One simple word “TANK” to its foundation . Do it n Do it now b4 it gets to another 10 yrs of darkness. I was mortified at one of my favourite players of all times Sittlers 10 point game Display of “I DONT GIVE A SHIT ITS JUST ANOTHER GAME ATTITUDE” Well guess what MLSE ? I DONT GIVE A FLYING FU*K ABOUT YOUR OVER PRICED SEATS,BEER,OR YOUR NAMES OF BACK OF THIER JERSEYS “ They set this tone and display of Narcissistic ,uninterested , immaturity ,Worthless unequivocal dog fu*ks. I will also be a fan to the leaf’s crest on their chest But never a fan to these ruthless money grabbing players n Franchise. There is no light in this tunnel No promised land with this shit Fu*k Roaster . Tear this MF DOWN TO ITS FOUNDATION NOW . “THE LEAFS ROOF IS ON FIRE,WE DONT NEED WATER,LET THE MFKER BURN, BURN MFKER BURN🔥🔥🔥🔥 All I want is what all leaf’s fan want and that’s a little hope of one day be in the finals even if they fail to win the prize . Simple fact All we want is A "Virtue" of Resilience, Rebirth: Even when a story ends, hope is the belief that something is left to start over. A simple need for the loyalist Leaf fanbase ..
Is it possible at all to do this show without Jay constantly using God’s name in vain? Bad enough I can’t watch the show with children around.
Obviously for the Leafs it is time to sell….and everybody should be on the table….and looks like a new GM and new coach are also needed…..forget about the playoffs if by miracle they might pull off some incredible run….they will just lose any round any way…this team has no heart, simply implode on themselves…..
How about something that will seem crazy (completely out the box, and a total makeover)…..what about a three way trade with the Leafs, Devils & Wild….Stolarz, Reilly, Matthews to Wild for Wallstedt and Quinn Hughes (UFA in 26-27)…..trade Woll, Domi, McCann, Carlo , Nylander, Knies to Devils for Markstrom, plus Luke & Jack Hughes….this might make sense to Devils as Domi, McCann, Nylander, Knies played for Sheldon Keefe…..reunites Hughes brothers….frees up some cap space for Leafs….Markstrom & Wallstedt would make a great 1A and 1B Swedish tandem….Hidebey is 3rd string and takes over from Markstrom eventually….complete remake of Leafs…..not a full rebuild but more than just retool…..then if really want to get crazy sign Jason Robertson as free agent (teaming up on Leafs with brother Nick)…..obviously we would need Leafs to think completely outside the box (as I have) to do so…..a new coach and new GM plus new blood….new chemistry…..
STELLICK SHOWING WHY HE WAS ONLY A GM FOR A FEW MONTHS… LOL DUDE IS TERRIBLE
Gord Stellick's comments are bang on. The Darryl Sittler era Leafs didn't win a cup but they were a real TEAM…Great leadership group.
Gordo is awesome but thankfully he's not the Leafs GM anymore. We can't keep running it back. Sell, sell, sell. He's right about the leadership…soft as butter.
Leaf fan for almost 60 years this is a joke of an organization from top to bottom and it started with Shanahan/Dubis and now Pelley/Treliving. Blow it up.
There is no character. Stecher got buried late in the Buffalo game and no one responded. Heart and soul Laughton was looking right at it. No one looks like they care that they are losing. It's so sad to watch. Too many nice guys, not enough SOBs.
Rosie you said you’re wondering what’s going to happen in the next 2 1/2 months. Iam wondering the next three years.
And Mitch was not the reason there not going to the playoffs.
Corporate Speak
Reading the Corporate Speak coming out of GTA
They are calling this season a one off.
Injuries, compressed schedule, etc. Find any convenient excuse.
Stay the course.
Minor trades to improve "playoff chances."
No white flag until they are Officially eliminated.
Sign UFA's that make $$$ sense. NOT hockey sense.
Same GM and HC under $$$ contracts.
Hope for better in 26-27.
And keep hope alive enough in the remaining 25-26 games to keep eyeballs and media on the team. (Seats are already paid for.)
Corporate Reminder: If TML can dupe Buffalo's hot streak, they're in! (Ignore the difference in team speed and caliber of d-men between BUF and TML.)
I never seen a city hate and wanna get rid of generational talents it’s actually insane any team in the NHL WOULD BE HAPPY TO GET MATTEWS AND TO YOU LOOSE ANY BY TRADE WITH HIM
Pelley to MLSE Board, "Gentlemen, we are missing the Playoffs! Profits are up, let's do lunch!"
Captain Should Be Watching his Team at All Times! This Is Unacceptable.
Good Lord.
Extend Laughton.
Put an A on his Jersey ..
Heart and soul. Huge play.
Big heart for the team.
Not many but Big goals.
Timely ones.
Ones that tie it up.
Short handed.
Constant threat and hard work.
Can you tell that we like him?
If I'm Chief, I would put Tanev behind the bench. Bet he would help the defence.
Are you guys complete goofballs? TRE should be gone he's demonstrated his incompetence beyond doubt
Ballard said,once, " I could dress, monkeys in Leaf Jersey's,and still sell out! Nothings changed!
Matthews cares more about his pregame outfit
Dumbis paid the core like they were winners when they hadn't won anything. That meant the Leafs couldn't fill out the roster with decent players and had to give up many who could have helped. It has steadily gone downhill to the point that it is difficult to name one player on the team that is performing in a way that can equal winning in the playoffs. There is nobody on the team that is untouchable if draft picks and/or younger faster players with guts can be received in return.
wtf does Rielly think he's playing, 'flag football'?. He sucks at playing defence
Leafs need a hockey genius right now, not an accountant
“The Bruins did it right but you can’t replicate it”. Wtf Gord? Are the Leafs prevented from making good trades? They give up 1st rounders all the time but tHEY can’t be on the other side of the trade?
