    Join Zack Phillips live for TLN After Dark immediately following Game 5 of the 2026 Calder Cup Finals as the Toronto Marlies look to close out the Chicago Wolves on home ice and capture the Calder Cup. After taking a commanding 3-0 series lead, the Marlies were unable to complete the sweep in Game 4, but still hold a 3-1 advantage heading into a pivotal Game 5 in front of their home fans.

    Following the final horn, Zack breaks down all the action from a potential championship-clinching night, including the game's biggest moments, standout performances, coaching decisions, key turning points, and what it means for the future of the Marlies organization. If Toronto gets the job done, we'll react to the celebration, hand out game awards, discuss the playoff MVP conversation, and look at which prospects took the biggest step forward during this remarkable postseason run.

  20. Game 82 vs Ottawa Senators ft. Carter Hutton, Jay Rosehill, Nick Alberga, Mike in Buffalo, and Producer Vick

    Show notes

    Game 82 of the season is here and tonight we wrap up the year with a massive Leafs Nation 401 postgame mega stream. No matter what happens between the Toronto Maple Leafs and Ottawa Senators, we’ll be live breaking it all down immediately after the final horn.

    Host Zack Phillips kicks things off before being joined throughout the night by a rotating cast of Leafs Nation voices including Carter Hutton, Jay Rosehill, Nick Alberga, Producer Vick, and Mike in Buffalo. Then the show turns over to you — the Leafs fans — as we open the lines and take calls directly from the live chat to react to the final game of the 2025-26 season.

    Whether it’s frustration, hope for the future, draft lottery talk, or simply airing grievances about the year that was, this stream is about the Leafs Nation community. It’s the final postgame show of the season, so we’re going big.

    We’re also raising money during the stream with a goal of $500 for SickKids, so if you’re able to donate or contribute through the live chat, every bit helps support an incredible cause.

    Join us live after the game for what should be a chaotic, emotional, and unforgettable season finale.

    Subscribe to Leafs Nation 401 for Leafs analysis, live reactions, postgame shows, and Leafs community conversations all year long.
