TSN Hockey analyst Cameron Gaunce joins SC with Jay Onrait to discuss the Maple Leafs entering the Olympic break with a three-game winning streak, whether winning high event games is sustainable for the Oilers, if he thinks the Senators can make a run to the postseason, and whether Rick Tocchet and Matvei Michkov can mend fences.

Nothing, sell- Leaf fan
Start plannnng the Stanley Cup route
Nothing
It means they ended up forfeiting their 1st rd pick
Buyers ?….with what prospects or picks…they have nothing
This network is a joke.
How can he talk to Tocchet when his English is still amateur's level?
They are going to win their next 15 games
The game was even until the Leafs were winning – which they were most of the game – and Edmonton loaded up a line and played McDrai 22 minutes. The equivalent would be the Leafs being down and playing Matthews/Nylander over and over without any regard for defense. Of course they outshot them.
Leafs are 4 points out of the playoffs ,…..it’s more than possible to make the playoffs
Sens, Oilers and Leafs are all virtually tied in points… it is interesting that Oilers and Sens fans & media think they are contenders but Leafs fans & media think their team is garbage!!
Everyone needs goalie efforts to beat the oilers. Stop. We have 1 point less than the oilers. But listen to the difference in the way they talk about them. A joke. I know leafs arent great. But in any other division. Theyre in playoffs
leafs can't even tank right
Third straight win means the leafs will be giving the bruins a pic between 6 and 15
We all know danny raised a winner.
Still not gonna make the playoffs.
The 3rd straight win means the Leafs are gonna screw things up again.
Leafs are going to win the CUP
The Senators who are behind the Leafs should be buyers and the Oilers who are 1 point ahead of them are contenders, but the Leafs are hopeless and should sell everything. This is some very high level anaclasis lol.
It means they are luring their fans into a false sense of security again… Same old.
Trade Matthews in the West, take the haul and turn around quick but 1st, the GM gotta go, don't trust him to donsuch a trade with his bad resume
Calling it now.Leafs win the cup this year
The criticism is that Stolarz was good?! How about McCabe and Carlo shutting down McDavid and Draisaitl repeatedly. The only thing more annoying than overly optimistic Leafs fans is overly critical and inconsistent analysis from ‘experts’.
I have never seen just a dumb fan base, ready to throw the team away, and then they beat 2 of the worst teams in the west,and now, parade is on.Only good thing, is now they will keep what they have ,and NOT make the playoffs
congrats to the loosers … i mean the leafs. you actually won for once. nothing team that has nothing to offer. buyers? child, please.
I can't believe ppl are that unintelligent about hockey. The Oilers can suck all they want on defense cuz their offense is always good enough to get them to the cup finals. The Pacific has sucked for years and that's why the Oilers don't need to be great. They can go 500 still be gifted with Kings or Kraken in the first round while the top 3 teams in the NHL: COL, DAL, MIN have to kill each other off which is dumb. Oilers get to CF AUTOMATIC. Stars always suck against the Oilers so Oilers will go the cup finals again. Nobody in the east except FLA is able to stop them in a 7 game series and even FLA had to take 7 and 6 games to beat them and that's FLA when they were all healthy and prime. So nobody in the east is good enough to hang with the Oilers. The dumb playoff format is why the Oilers get a free gift to the cup finals every year since Stars take out Avs and Avs are the only team that can beat Oilers.
IF Treliving was smart, he’d deal quickly after 3 wins in a row, some players now look better than they really are so he could get a little more for them to any teams feeling playoff panic! The Oilers for instance could use Stolarz, McMann and maybe Carlo for their push – not sure what they’ve got for TO in picks/players but go for it.
I have thought this for over 10 years; Maple Leafs should not trade 1st or 2nd round picks for a decade and evaluate after that, just to get the house in order and get needed push from within. They have very little in the organization. It has been like this because of diminishing trades for decades.
Three straight wins they might win a fourth and then they’ll lose four straight and they’ll be right back to where they were cause that’s all the inconsistent they are. They’ve always have been and always will be.
It's Nylanders fault. It always was, is, and will be. No matter what.
It means you're trapped in purgatory. Not tanking, not winning a Cup.
Parades back on!!!!!
A third straight win for the Maple Leafs means that the Toronto sports media will lose their minds yet again.
The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result. Leafs need to rebuild not retool Leafs fans need to get this idea through their heads. It’s been the same result for years now and trying to sneak into the playoffs just to get kicked in the early rounds doesn’t do this team any good. Drastic changes with the core of the team needs to be made or else it will be the same story all over again next year.
Leafs should trade one of their goalies for some young talent or picks.
Means nothing they will lose 5 str8 after the olympic break
A third straight win for the leafs right now means.. if they win out and make the playoffs.. the team they are going to face is going to be worried.
They lose one game everyone yells fire sell. They win one game and they are the best team that ever existed.
Leafs should rebuild. They already used their draft capital….for useless rentals lol
Same thing every year! You don't make the playoffs by losing more games than you win. Very simple!
Trade Morgan Rielly! On the back end he's the problem! Leaf's just proved the last 3 games,they can win without him! They did it a few yrs ago also when he was injured.
