BOBROVSKY GETS ANOTHER CHANCE! Maple Leafs Shake Up Lines + Hometown Remix Jerseys
Episode 1561
Show notes
The Toronto Maple Leafs are making changes ahead of their matchup with the Utah Mammoth, and Jim Hiller is once again putting the line blender to work. David Morassutti breaks down Easton Cowan's promotion to the top line with Auston Matthews and Jack Roslovic, Dakota Joshua getting a surprising bump to the second line alongside William Nylander and Nick Paul, and what those decisions mean for Gavin McKenna and the rest of the forward group. Is Joshua earning a bigger role after an impressive return, and can he bring the physical presence Toronto needs? David also examines the biggest decision in goal: Sergei Bobrovsky gets another start despite Anthony Stolarz's recent success. Is Toronto sticking too closely to its preseason goaltending plan, and how much longer can Bobrovsky afford to struggle?
The Leafs' new Hometown Remix jersey is officially here, and David gives his thoughts on the design, the throwback logo, the details on the jersey and what works — and what doesn't. He also takes a look around the league at the other Hometown Remix designs, sharing some of his favourites and the jerseys that missed the mark. David recently ranked all 32 NHL jerseys for Sportsnet, so make sure to check out the full rankings and see which teams came out on top.

Could the Maple Leafs Pull Off a BLOCKBUSTER Trade With Kucherov? + Thought on Road Trip
Episode 1560
Show notes
The Toronto Maple Leafs wrapped up their Western road trip with a 4-2 win over the Vancouver Canucks, finishing the trip with a 2-2 record. David Morassutti breaks down what we learned from the road trip, why the Leafs are still searching for a consistent identity, and the defensive details that continue to cause problems. Chris Tanev and Dakota Joshua made their returns to the lineup, Anthony Stolarz delivered a strong performance with 27 saves, and William Nylander and Auston Matthews continued to show their offensive chemistry. David also hands out his three stars from the Vancouver victory, including Teddy Blueger for his work anchoring Toronto's fourth line.
Could Nikita Kucherov actually end up with the Toronto Maple Leafs? New reports have put Toronto among the teams the Tampa Bay Lightning superstar could consider, creating plenty of speculation about what a blockbuster deal might look like. David examines the latest developments, why Kucherov might be looking for a change, and the major obstacles Toronto would face in trying to acquire him — from the salary cap and trade package to whether Tampa Bay would even consider dealing him to a division rival.

Leafs Goaltending Competition Brewing? Tanev Returns + Kucherov's Shocking Trade Request
Episode 1559
Show notes
The Toronto Maple Leafs turn to Anthony Stolarz in Vancouver as they look to finish their Western road trip on a positive note. David Morassutti breaks down the decision to start Stolarz after Sergei Bobrovsky's difficult stretch and examines what the move means for Toronto's goaltending rotation. Is it time for the Leafs to create more competition between the two netminders? Plus, Chris Tanev and Dakota Joshua are expected back in the lineup. David discusses what Tanev's return means for the blue line, the importance of having Joshua's physical presence back in the forward group, and why the Leafs cannot afford to overlook a struggling Vancouver Canucks team.
Then, the NHL trade rumour mill delivers another major storyline as Nikita Kucherov reportedly tells the Tampa Bay Lightning he does not intend to re-sign and wants to be traded. Tampa Bay has publicly stated it has no interest in moving its superstar, but could that change? David looks at the Lightning's position, potential destinations for Kucherov, the financial complications of a blockbuster deal and what this situation could mean for the Atlantic Division. Could another superstar be on the move?

Bobrovsky COSTS the Maple Leafs Again in Seattle, But Still Early For Panic? McKenna Steps Up!
Episode 1558
Show notes
The Toronto Maple Leafs fought their way back from a two-goal deficit against the Seattle Kraken, only to suffer a devastating 5-4 loss on a goal with roughly 30 seconds left. Auston Matthews helped pull Toronto level late, but Sergei Bobrovsky couldn't make the save when the Leafs needed it most.
David Morassutti is joined by Frank Stanisci of Candid Frank Live to break down another frustrating night for Toronto. Is it time for Anthony Stolarz to get the next start? How much responsibility falls on Bobrovsky, and how concerned should Leafs fans be about the team's defensive play?
In today's episode:
• BOBROVSKY UNDER FIRE: Why the late goal was such a crushing finish and whether the veteran goaltender should get another start.
• TIME FOR STOLARZ? Should Jim Hiller reward the goaltender who has been playing better, or give Bobrovsky more time to find his game?
• McKENNA BREAKS OUT: Gavin McKenna records his first multi-point game after being challenged to step up with Kirill Marchenko out.
• THE GOOD, THE BAD AND THE UGLY: Toronto's resilience and power-play production were positives, but defensive breakdowns and costly goals undermined the comeback.
• WHY THE SHOT TOTAL DOESN'T TELL THE WHOLE STORY: The Leafs allowed only 17 shots, but the quality of the chances they surrendered remains a concern.
• IS HILLER MAKING THE RIGHT CALLS? The decision to stick with Bobrovsky raises questions about lineup management, workload and the importance of rewarding performance.
• INJURY UPDATES: Marchenko is officially week-to-week, Chris Tanev is day-to-day, and Marshall Rifai and Erik Blankenburg are also dealing with injuries.
• THE ROAD TRIP FINALE: Toronto heads to Vancouver needing a response before returning home.The Leafs showed plenty of fight against Seattle, but the goaltending remains a major concern. Should Stolarz start against Vancouver, or does Bobrovsky need another opportunity to turn things around?

Maple Leafs DISAPPOINT in Calgary as Bobrovsky STRUGGLES + Marchenko Injury
Episode 1556
Show notes
The Toronto Maple Leafs came crashing back down to earth after their statement win over Edmonton, falling 5-2 to the Calgary Flames and seeing their four-game winning streak come to an end. What went wrong, and how concerned should Leafs fans be about Sergei Bobrovsky's slow start?
David Morassutti goes solo to break down a frustrating night in Calgary, including Toronto's sluggish start, another uneven performance from Bobrovsky and the concerning injury to Kirill Marchenko. There were some positives, particularly Easton Cowan's response after a costly mistake, but the Leafs have plenty to address as their Western Canadian road trip continues.
In today's episode:
• A DISAPPOINTING LOSS: Why the Leafs failed to match Calgary's intensity and made life difficult for themselves early.
• BOBROVSKY UNDER PRESSURE: The starting goalie's struggles continue. How much responsibility should he shoulder, and when should concerns grow?
• KIRILL MARCHENKO INJURY: Toronto could face another major lineup setback with John Tavares already sidelined.
• EASTON COWAN RESPONDS: Why Cowan's play after taking responsibility for a mistake was one of the night's biggest positives.
• THE GOOD, THE BAD AND THE UGLY: Breaking down Toronto's best moments, costly penalties, defensive breakdowns and lack of execution.
• CHAIKA ON THE LEAFS' FUTURE: What Toronto's GM had to say about Cowan's value, Bobrovsky's start and the need to improve defensively.
• THE COWAN TRADE THAT ALMOST HAPPENED: Elliotte Friedman's report about a potential deal involving Brayden Schenn and the assets Toronto may have been prepared to surrender.
• DO THE LEAFS NEED A DEFENCEMAN? Why improving the team's defensive structure matters just as much as finding outside help.The Leafs looked like a different team against Edmonton. Was Calgary simply a bad night, or are there still concerns about Toronto's consistency and goaltending?

Maple Leafs SEND MESSAGE With 7-2 Thumping of Oilers As Identity Continues To Take Shape
Episode 1555
Show notes
The Toronto Maple Leafs delivered one of their biggest statement wins of the season, dominating Connor McDavid and the Edmonton Oilers in a convincing 7-2 victory! After going a perfect 4-0 on the week, the Leafs are starting to look like a team with a clear identity — and this performance showed just how dangerous they can be when everyone contributes.
David Morassutti is joined by James from Offside Hockey Talk to break down Toronto's impressive performance, from Auston Matthews' continued excellence at both ends of the ice to the fourth line's energy and the defensive work that helped contain Edmonton's superstar talent.
In this episode:
A STATEMENT WIN: Why the 7-2 victory over Edmonton was about much more than the final score.
AUSTON MATTHEWS IS LEADING: Matthews is producing offensively, playing a responsible two-way game and setting the tone for his teammates.
DEPTH MAKES THE DIFFERENCE: Toronto's ability to get contributions throughout the lineup is changing the way this team can attack opponents.
THE FOURTH LINE DELIVERS: The energy, forechecking and physicality that have made this group a key part of the Leafs' recent success.
DARREN RADDYSH STEPS UP: His defensive effort against McDavid and Leon Draisaitl shows the value he can bring beyond the power play.
JIM HILLER'S ADJUSTMENTS: Why trusting all four lines and continuing to attack with a lead has helped Toronto find its rhythm.
THE LEAFS' CULTURE IS CHANGING: The celebrations, bench reactions and willingness to stand up for one another suggest a team growing closer.
FLAMES PREVIEW: Can Toronto carry its momentum into the next stop of its Western Canadian road trip?
NHL NEWS: Alexander Nikishin signs a one-year deal with Carolina, and what it could mean for teams interested in adding a defenceman.
Are the Maple Leafs finally putting all the pieces together? Let us know what impressed you most about the win in the comments!

Leafs WIN in DRAMATIC Fashion! Stecher Delivers, Cowan & Fourth Line Shine + Oilers Preview
Episode 1554
Show notes
The Toronto Maple Leafs pull off a WILD 5-4 win over the New York Rangers thanks to a clutch late goal from Troy Stecher! David Morassutti is joined by Frank Stanisci to break down the dramatic finish, the fourth line's breakout performance, and what this win says about Toronto's changing identity.
The Leafs' depth came through in a big way, but can they keep it going against Connor McDavid and the Edmonton Oilers?
🔥 TODAY'S SHOW:
• Troy Stecher's HEROICS: How the defenceman delivered the game-winning goal with less than 30 seconds remaining.
• The fourth line takes over: Brandon Duhaime, Teddy Blueger and Zack MacEwen make their presence felt, combining for a huge night and giving Toronto a much-needed depth boost.
• Is the Leafs' culture changing? The reaction to Stecher's goal and the team's growing chemistry could be signs of a more connected group.
• Easton Cowan keeps earning his minutes: Why the rookie continues to impress, how he's helping drive the team's energy, and why Toronto should keep giving him opportunities.
• What about Gavin McKenna? We discuss his limited ice time against the Rangers, the importance of building good habits, and why patience is needed with the 18-year-old.
• Three stars of the game: We hand out our picks after Toronto's thrilling victory.
• Oilers vs. Leafs preview: Connor McDavid is putting up historic numbers, and Toronto faces a massive test against Edmonton's high-powered offence.
• The special-teams battle: Can the Leafs' penalty kill slow down an Oilers power play that went 3-for-5 in its previous game?
• Can Sergei Bobrovsky steal another one? Why the Leafs will need a big performance from their goaltender against McDavid and company.Can Toronto's depth keep producing? Will the Leafs' penalty kill hold up against Edmonton? And can Auston Matthews and the rest of the stars deliver when the team needs them?

Are Maple Leafs FIGURING IT OUT? | Why Easton Cowan Is Becoming Untradeable
Episode 1553
Show notes
The Toronto Maple Leafs are starting to look like themselves again — but is it too early to say they've turned the corner?
David Morassutti is joined by James from Offside Hockey Talk to break down the Leafs' recent turnaround, why the early-season panic may have been premature, and what Toronto needs to prove against the New York Rangers.
TODAY'S SHOW:
Are the Leafs finally finding their identity? Why a shortened preseason and a lack of time to build chemistry may have contributed to Toronto's slow start.
Auston Matthews is looking like himself again. How better health, improved skating and a renewed focus on offence are helping the Leafs' captain make an impact.
Easton Cowan trade rumours: Elliotte Friedman has suggested Toronto is less inclined to move Cowan now that the organization has a better idea of what he can become. James explains why Cowan's versatility, work ethic and team-friendly contract make him so valuable.
Rangers vs. Leafs preview: Can Toronto build on its recent wins and deliver another complete performance against New York?
Should the Leafs pursue Brady Skjei? We debate whether the veteran Nashville defenceman makes sense for a Toronto team looking to get younger on the blue line.
NHL news and notes: Brady Tkachuk's return to Ottawa, the latest discussion around Connor Hellebuyck, and what could happen next in the Winnipeg situation.
Is Easton Cowan becoming too important to move, even if the Leafs are looking for a major defensive upgrade? And are we finally seeing the team Jim Hiller wants to build?

Maple Leafs DOMINATE Columbus! Cowan Puts On A Show, Rielly RESPONDS + Marchenko Revenge
Episode 1552
Show notes
The Toronto Maple Leafs get back-to-back wins while Easton Cowan has a big night on both sides of the ice.
The Leafs delivered a convincing 6-2 victory over the Columbus Blue Jackets, using a huge second period to pull away and give Kirill Marchenko a memorable win against his former team. Easton Cowan scored a shorthanded goal and continued to make his presence felt, while Morgan Rielly answered some of his recent critics with a three-assist performance.
David Morassutti is joined by guest host Michael Mazzei to break down the Leafs' latest win, discuss the biggest performances of the night and look at what Toronto needs to build on as the season continues.
In this episode:
• Leafs crush Columbus 6-2: Toronto attacks with speed and creativity, putting together a dominant second period and earning its second straight win.
• Easton Cowan makes a statement: Cowan scores his first career NHL shorthanded goal and continues to strengthen his case for a bigger role. Could the Leafs eventually look at him as a centre?
• Morgan Rielly answers his critics: Three assists and a vintage performance raise hopes that Rielly can rediscover his offensive impact.
• Kirill Marchenko gets one over on his former team: Marchenko scores against Columbus as the Leafs' new forward continues to make an impression.
• Marshall Rifai gets his first NHL goal: The 28-year-old defenceman's perseverance pays off, and his performance becomes one of the night's best stories.
• Jake McCabe injury update: Toronto gets encouraging news after McCabe leaves the game following a stick to the face. How important is his availability with Chris Tanev already out?
• Can the Leafs rely on their penalty kill? Toronto continues to get strong results shorthanded, but the number of penalties remains a concern.
• NHL news and notes: Dylan Larkin's trade list reportedly expands to 10 teams, Connor Hellebuyck's situation in Winnipeg remains unresolved, and Brady Tkachuk prepares for a highly anticipated matchup against Florida.Can the Leafs keep this momentum going, and is Cowan becoming too valuable to move in a potential trade?

Maple Leafs Back in Win Column as Matthews, McKenna & Bobrovsky DELIVER | Marchenko vs. Knies
Episode 1551
Show notes
The Toronto Maple Leafs have finally snapped their losing streak— but have they really turned the corner? Toronto bounced back with a 3-1 win over the San Jose Sharks, ending a three-game skid with strong performances from Auston Matthews, Sergei Bobrovsky, and Nick Paul. Gavin McKenna also came through with the go-ahead goal as the Leafs found a way to get back into the win column.
David Morassutti breaks down what went right, why the victory is an important step forward, and why Toronto still has work to do at five-on-five. The Leafs were outplayed at even strength for stretches, particularly in the third period, making Bobrovsky's performance and the team's special-teams success even more important.
Plus, the Leafs head to Columbus for a matchup featuring two major storylines: Kirill Marchenko facing his former team and Matthew Knies taking on Toronto for the first time since the blockbuster trade.
In this episode:
• Leafs snap the losing streak: What changed against San Jose, and can Toronto build on the 3-1 victory?
• Sergei Bobrovsky delivers: Why David considers this the goaltender's best performance as a Leaf and why the team needs more outings like this.
• Auston Matthews is rolling: Matthews records a goal and two assists, reaching 16 points through his first 10 games.
• Gavin McKenna comes through: The young forward scores the go-ahead goal and continues making an impact in his rookie season.
• Nick Paul makes his case: A strong two-way performance, important penalty-killing work and nearly 19 minutes of ice time make him a key contributor.
• The five-on-five problem remains: Toronto still gave up too many dangerous chances. Can the Leafs tighten up defensively while keeping their special teams rolling?
• Marchenko vs. Knies: The Leafs visit Columbus for the first meeting between the former teammates' new clubs. Can Marchenko make an impact against his old team, and how will Knies respond?
• Maple Leafs vs. Blue Jackets preview: Anthony Stolarz is expected to start. David outlines the keys to winning the second game of the back-to-back.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Leafs Losing Streak Hits 3 Thanks To Disorganized Blue Line + Don't Expect Trade Soon
Episode 1550
Show notes
The Toronto Maple Leafs dropped a 4-1 decision to the New York Islanders, struggling to generate consistent offence before a late push came up short. David Morassutti breaks down another frustrating performance, explains why the defensive breakdowns are a bigger concern than the goaltending, and looks at what the Leafs need to do to turn things around.
With Morgan Rielly and Troy Stecher struggling as a pairing and Chris Tanev sidelined, Toronto's defensive depth is under serious pressure. Elliotte Friedman has also reported that the Leafs are willing to pay a premium for a difference-maker on the blue line — but who is actually available, and how much should Toronto be willing to give up?
In this episode:
Leafs lose 4-1 to the Islanders: Why Toronto struggled to match New York's physicality and defensive structure.
Is Sergei Bobrovsky really the problem? David explains why the defensive breakdowns in front of Toronto's goalies deserve more attention.
The good, bad and ugly: The late push, the top line's struggles and the defensive mistakes that continue to cost the Leafs.
Morgan Rielly and Troy Stecher under fire: Why the pairing is becoming a major concern and what alternatives Toronto has.
Vinny Lettieri gets an opportunity: Could the Marlies forward provide some much-needed depth scoring?
The blue-line trade market: The Leafs are reportedly willing to move premium assets for a difference-maker. Could Easton Cowan be part of a deal? And would someone like Nikita Zadorov make sense as another option?
Maple Leafs vs. Sharks preview: Macklin Celebrini comes to Toronto. Can the Leafs get back on track against San Jose?
Can Toronto fix its defensive issues without sacrificing too much of its future? And what will it take to end this losing streak?

Maple Leafs BLOW It Against Sabres, Jim Hiller's Decisions UNDER FIRE + McKenna Benched & Raty Trade
Episode 1549
Show notes
The Toronto Maple Leafs looked to be in control against the Buffalo Sabres, but a stunning collapse left the Leafs with plenty of questions to answer. David Morassutti breaks down the coaching decisions that helped turn a promising performance into a frustrating loss, including Jim Hiller's decision to sit Gavin McKenna for extended stretches and switch to a defensive approach that Toronto couldn't execute.
Meanwhile, Kirill Marchenko delivered a career night, Auston Matthews and William Nylander provided more offensive highlights, and the Leafs made a minor trade to add Aatu Räty to their organizational depth.
In this episode:
• Jim Hiller under fire: Why did the Leafs retreat into a prevent-defence approach with a two-goal lead? David explains why the strategy backfired.
• Gavin McKenna benched: Hiller's decision to limit McKenna's ice time becomes a major talking point. What message does it send, and did the Leafs make the right call?
• Kirill Marchenko's career night: Three goals and an outstanding offensive performance weren't enough to secure the win. What does Marchenko's performance tell us about his potential alongside Toronto's other stars?
• Matthews and Nylander deliver: The Leafs had plenty to like offensively, but their production was ultimately overshadowed by defensive breakdowns.
• The blue-line crisis continues: With Chris Tanev out week to week, Toronto's defensive problems remain a major concern. Can the current group find a solution while the front office looks for a bigger move?
• Leafs acquire Aatu Räty: Toronto makes a minor trade to add centre depth and create more flexibility with its roster contracts.
• Maple Leafs vs. Islanders preview: Toronto looks to bounce back against a New York team that prefers a tighter, grinding style of hockey. Can the Leafs clean up their mistakes and build on their earlier win over the Islanders?Can the Leafs recover from this collapse, and will Jim Hiller make the adjustments needed to get this team back on track?

Is Maple Leafs Blue Line In A CRISIS? Anthony Stolarz On Trade Block? | Sabres Preview
Episode 1548
Show notes
With Chris Tanev sidelined, the Toronto Maple Leafs' defensive issues are under an even bigger microscope. Morgan Rielly's struggles continue, the Leafs need more from their defensive group, and the question is becoming more urgent: how can John Chayka find a solution with limited trade assets?
David Morassutti breaks down the Leafs' defensive concerns, explores the possibility of trading Anthony Stolarz and previews Toronto's first matchup of the season against the Buffalo Sabres.
In this episode:
• The blue-line problem: Why Tanev's absence has exposed Toronto's defensive weaknesses and why internal improvements might not be enough.
• Morgan Rielly under pressure: Can Rielly find his game under Jim Hiller, and how much responsibility falls on the rest of the defensive group?

Episode 1547
Show notes
The Toronto Maple Leafs nearly erased another deficit, but the comeback bid fell short in a 5-4 loss to the Utah Mammoth. The Leafs finish their three-game road trip with three points, but the defensive and goaltending concerns are becoming harder to ignore.
Mike DiStefano and Dave Morassutti break down what went wrong in Utah, including a difficult night for Anthony Stolarz and the goals Toronto needed to stop to give itself a better chance of winning.
Is Toronto's blue line becoming a major problem?
In this episode, the guys discuss:
• Anthony Stolarz struggles: Why the goaltending was a major factor in the loss and whether Sergei Bobrovsky should have started.
• The offence keeps producing: Toronto scores four goals, and the top line of Auston Matthews, Kirill Marchenko and Jack Roslovic continues to generate dangerous chances.
• Darren Raddysh under pressure: With Chris Tanev sidelined, can Raddysh and Jake McCabe handle tougher defensive assignments?
• Chris Tanev injury update: The latest discussion on the defenceman's status and why the Leafs are taking a cautious approach.
• The second-period problem: Why Toronto continues to struggle to put together a complete 60-minute performance.
• NHL news and notes: Alex DeBrincat's new extension in Detroit and the Philadelphia Flyers' difficult start to the season.Plus, the Leafs return home to face the Buffalo Sabres. Can Toronto tighten up defensively, get better goaltending and turn its offensive production into another win?
The Leafs can score, but they need to find a way to keep the puck out of their own net.

Episode 1545
Show notes
The Maple Leafs blew a THREE-GOAL LEAD against the Vegas Golden Knights — and Toronto has some serious questions to answer.
David Morassutti breaks down the Leafs' shootout loss to Vegas after Toronto jumped out to a 3-0 lead before watching the game slip away. Sergei Bobrovsky did everything he could to keep the Leafs in it, but a disastrous second and third period left Toronto settling for just one point.
In this episode, David breaks down:
- Bobrovsky bails out Toronto: Why the Leafs' goaltender was the biggest reason the game remained close.
- The blue-line problem: Why the Morgan Rielly-Darren Raddysh pairing continues to raise concerns and whether the defensive pairings need a shake-up.
- A lack of forward chemistry: Why the Leafs are still searching for the right combinations, including the ongoing struggles of John Tavares and William Nylander together at five-on-five.
- Gavin McKenna delivers again: The rookie picks up another point with a setup on Darren Raddysh's goal.
-The OEL controversy: Oliver Ekman-Larsson takes a hit that left many talking about the lack of a penalty and his availability for the next game.Plus, the Leafs face another massive challenge as their road trip continues against the Colorado Avalanche. With Nathan MacKinnon, Cale Makar and a dangerous supporting cast waiting, can Toronto clean up its mistakes and put together a full 60-minute effort?

Easton Cowan TRADE BUZZ?! | Leafs vs. Vegas Game Preview
Episode 1544
Show notes
Easton Cowan has been one of Toronto's best players to start the season — but could his hot start make him the Leafs' next major trade chip?
Mike DiStefano and Dave Morassutti debate whether Toronto should consider moving Cowan in a blockbuster deal for the top-four defenseman the team desperately needs. The guys discuss potential targets including Simon Edvinsson and Alexander Nikishin, why Cowan's value may be rising, and why the Leafs could be willing to move another young player after trading Matthew Knies.
The guys also preview the Leafs' first road game of the season against the Vegas Golden Knights.
After their wild comeback win over Nashville, can Toronto carry that momentum into Vegas? The Golden Knights are 3-1, have one of the deepest rosters in the NHL and are led by former Leaf Mitch Marner and Jack Eichel.
Plus, Gavin McKenna gets the player-to-watch spotlight after scoring his first NHL goal and recording his first assist. Can the rookie follow up his breakout performance in his first NHL road game?
The guys break down the keys to victory, including getting a full 60-minute effort, slowing down Vegas through the neutral zone, establishing a strong forecheck and — most importantly — keeping the puck away from the Leafs' blue line mistakes.
Can the Leafs get above .500 in Sin City?

Episode 1543
Show notes
The Toronto Maple Leafs pulled off a massive comeback.
Toronto erased a 3-0 deficit and a 4-2 deficit before Auston Matthews scored the overtime winner to cap a four-point night, as the Maple Leafs defeated the Nashville Predators 5-4.
Mike DiStefano and Dave Morassutti break down an incredible comeback victory and one of the best games of the season from Auston Matthews, who was a force all over the ice and delivered when the Leafs needed him most.
But the biggest breakout may have come from Gavin McKenna.
After going pointless through his first three NHL games, McKenna exploded against Nashville with his first career goal and first career assist. The rookie looked more confident as the game went on and finally showed the offensive ability that made him the first overall pick.
The guys also discuss:
Matthews' four-point performance and OT winner
McKenna's first NHL goal and breakout game
William Nylander's huge effort and game-winning sequence
John Tavares scoring his first of the season
Easton Cowan's continued strong play
Toronto's defensive struggles and the lineup blender
What the Leafs need to carry forward on their Western road tripThe Leafs are now 2-2 and finally have some momentum. Is this the game that gets Toronto's season moving in the right direction?

Can Leafs FINALLY Break Out vs. Predators? Cowan's Stock On Rise
Episode 1542
Show notes
Are the Toronto Maple Leafs set up for a dominant outing? The Leafs head into Game 4 of the season against the Nashville Predators, still searching for a complete performance after three straight one-goal games.
Mike DiStefano and Dave Morassutti preview the matchup and discuss Jim Hiller's decision to keep the lineup intact despite the ongoing struggles of the second line featuring Gavin McKenna, John Tavares and William Nylander.
The guys break down why Hiller is preaching patience, whether that patience could eventually turn into stubbornness, and what Toronto needs to see from that line against Nashville. The trio has struggled badly at 5-on-5 through three games, but the Leafs are giving them another opportunity to figure things out.
Could this finally be the game where Toronto's offence breaks loose? The Leafs are facing a Nashville team with plenty of new faces of its own that don't bring a lot of excitement.
Plus, the debut of the TTSX — Tuesday Toronto Stock Exchange, where the guys identify whose stock is UP and whose stock is DOWN after the first week of the season.
