About this listen

 Step into the lab.


This is the Leafs Lab Podcast, a space built for deeper thinking around the Toronto Maple Leafs. When the conversation around this team stays surface-level, we go the other direction. Every episode breaks down not just what’s happening, but why it’s happening — from roster decisions and systems to front office philosophy and long-term vision.


If you’re looking for hot takes, this isn’t it. This is where analysis meets curiosity, where every angle gets examined, and where the details actually matter.


Welcome inside the lab — let’s get to work.

    The Leafs Lab Ep. 1: A Love Letter to the Worst Leafs Team in a Decade
    Apr 13 2026

    In the debut episode of The Leafs Lab, we introduce ourselves before taking a hard look at the most disappointing Leafs season in over a decade. Framed as a “love letter,” this episode blends frustration with honesty as we break down where things truly went wrong—from flawed systems and inconsistent execution to deeper structural issues behind the scenes.


    We dive deep into the shortcomings of Brad Treliving and Craig Berube, examining the roster decisions, coaching approach, and lack of identity that defined the season.
