In this Christmas Spectacular edition of Bleedin’ Blue & White, Corey is joined by Nick, Jack, Peter, and Joel to break down the growing frustration surrounding the Toronto Maple Leafs as the season winds toward the holidays.

The crew debates whether the team’s issues stem from effort, execution, or a deeper lack of identity, with pointed discussion around the top six, coaching direction, and a fan base that’s clearly losing patience. Rising ticket prices, empty seats at Scotiabank Arena, and comparisons to the passion surrounding the Blue Jays and Raptors only add fuel to the fire.

Along the way, the conversation veers into Olympic concerns, Canadian hockey identity, and a few classic side tangents—because it wouldn’t be Bleedin’ Blue & White without them. The episode closes with holiday wishes, cautious optimism, and the shared hope that something finally clicks before more damage is done.

Corey and Nick are back with another episode of all things Toronto Maple Leafs! They kick things off joking about their semi-monthly… monthly-ish? schedule as hockey and the holidays collide, but promise more regular episodes ahead.

The conversation gets rolling with the Leafs’ recent surge — 5-1-1 in their last 7 — and how improved goaltending has helped turn the tide. The boys break down upcoming matchups, debate when backup starts should happen, and caution against overworking the starter as the season gets heavier.

They wrap by teasing their annual Christmas Spectacular, hoping to bring back Pete along with their fully-Canadian brother Joel for holiday chaos and tradition.

In this episode of the Bleedin Blue & White Podcast, Corey and Nick hold down the fort while Jack is “on assignment” and Pete extends his nearly year-long streak of technical difficulties. The show opens with some lighthearted banter about baseball withdrawal before turning to the NHL news dominating the week: the Edmonton Oilers’ shocking collapse.

Corey and Nick break down Edmonton’s blowout loss to Buffalo and the ongoing chaos surrounding a team with sky-high expectations. They debate whether Connor McDavid—despite having three years left on his deal—could eventually demand a move if the Oilers continue spiraling, especially if another failed season pushes the franchise to desperation at the trade deadline.

The boys then turn to the Leafs woes. Coaching speculation follows, with Nick floating the idea of Pete DeBoer as a potential turnaround option. This launches the duo into a fun hypothetical: a Toronto–Carolina conference final featuring two teams with historically bizarre playoff luck. Between DeBoer’s rough Game 7 record and Carolina’s streak of conference final sweeps, they joke that maybe two curses could finally cancel each other out.

The episode winds down with more Blue Jays longing, Ernie Clement jersey talk, and reflections on the excitement of the previous baseball season. Corey closes the show with thanks, optimism for future episodes, and the traditional rallying cry.

This week, Nick & Corey return, hat in hand, apologizing for not publishing a show the entire first month of the season. The problem is, you see, that the miracle run of the Toronto Blue Jays has overshadowed the slow start of the Leafs and captured both the country and all of sports.

The boys grade the teams first 11 games, take a look ahead at the next five, and wonder if they will be middle of the pack all season.

GO JAYS GO.

In this episode, Jack, Nick, and Corey sit down to unpack the sting of the last three games of the second-round series between the Toronto Maple Leafs and the Florida Panthers. What started with hope has ended in heartbreak — again.

The guys break down the key moments that defined the series, including missed opportunities, quiet stars, and the tactical missteps that cost the Leafs momentum. They dive deep into what went wrong on the ice — from special teams struggles to the lack of secondary scoring — and debate whether this version of the core has finally run its course.

The conversation shifts to what comes next:

• Is a major shakeup coming?
• Should the coaching staff face changes?
• Will one of the Core Four be moved?
• And how do the Leafs finally build a team that wins when it counts?

It’s raw, honest, and filled with the kind of passion only Leafs fans can understand. If you’re frustrated, exhausted, and still clinging to hope — this one’s for you.

After an optimistic start to the series, the Panthers have clawed their way back, evening the series at 2 after home wins in Games 3 & 4.

Jack, Nick, and Corey discuss what went wrong in Florida, ask if Game 5 is the biggest Leaf game in the last 30 years, and see how confident they are in their pre round picks.

They also extend an open invitation to Leafs Ambassador Paul Bissonnette to join a future podcast recording, and dig into the refs just a little at the end.

We BeLeaf.
