  • Tyler Johnson Interview
    Dec 9 2025

    2x Stanley Cup champion Tyler Johnson joined Nick Alberga & David Pagnotta for a wide-ranging chat following Toronto’s 2-0 win over Tampa. Johnson shared his perspective on Dennis Hildeby’s 29-save shutout — the first of his NHL career — and whether it’s tougher for shooters when there’s no scouting book on a young goalie.


    The guys also dove into the ever-tight Atlantic Division race, with the Leafs sitting just three points back of first despite a turbulent start. Johnson discussed Craig Berube’s influence, what a true championship mindset looks like, and whether he believes this Toronto team is actually built for playoff success.


    Having faced the Leafs during the height of the Core Four era, Johnson reflected on why Toronto could never push through when it mattered most. Plus, he emphasized the importance of depth scoring for contenders and shared his insights on Leafs assistant coach Derek Lalonde, whom he previously worked with in Tampa.

  • Montreal Shootout Sting, Tampa on Deck, Holmberg Returns
    Dec 8 2025

    Nick Alberga & Jay Rosehill break down Toronto’s 2-1 shootout loss to the Montreal Canadiens, a tight matchup where the Leafs couldn’t quite find the extra goal they needed. The boys dissect what went wrong, what they liked, and who stood out despite the result.


    Then, they look ahead to Game 2 of Toronto’s five-game homestand, as the Leafs welcome the rival Tampa Bay Lightning to Scotiabank Arena. It’s a notable matchup for Pontus Holmberg, who returns to Toronto for the first time since being let go last summer and signing with the Bolts.

    Dec 5 2025

    Nick Alberga & Jay Rosehill break down Toronto’s impressive 5-1 win in Raleigh, a statement victory that capped off a strong 4-2-0 road swing away from Scotiabank Arena. The Leafs have now won three straight, but the night wasn’t without concern — Joseph Woll exited after two periods with a lower-body injury. The boys react to what could become Dennis Hildeby’s crease for the foreseeable future and what it means for Toronto moving forward. Plus, 9-time Stanley Cup champion Scotty Bowman stops by the show to dish on all the chaos surrounding the Blue & White.

  • Steve Simmons Interview
    Dec 4 2025

    Toronto Sun columnist Steve Simmons joins Nick Alberga & Jay Rosehill for a no-holds-barred chat on all things Maple Leafs. Simmons breaks down Toronto’s impressive win in Florida and weighs in on the big question: Are the Leafs finally figuring it out, or is it still too early to buy in?


    He dives into Joseph Woll’s scorching play, the ongoing concern about Woll’s durability, and where Anthony Stolarz fits into the crease conversation. Plus, Simmons doesn’t hold back on Toronto’s struggling power play, including why he loathes the idea of Auston Matthews quarterbacking the top unit.


    And in classic Simmons fashion, he goes on a passionate rant about depth players — from his admiration for Scott Laughton, to Nic Roy’s turbulent start, to why these are exactly the types of players who swing playoff series.
