Can the Leafs Match Tavares’ Steady Game When It Matters Most? 32:50

There are now only 12 games remaining for the Leafs in this 2024-2025 NHL season! In this episode of Leafs Quick Hits, we take a look at the Leafs' recent games, vs the Flames, Avs, Rangers and Preds, after what was for the most part, a positive week! There were excellent performances across the whole lineup, which highlighted to us the need for consistency, as they close out the season. Speaking of consistency, the Buds have a great role model in John Tavares who for 7 years running has scored at least 30 goals! His 5 points in 4 games, including his 500th as a Leaf, earned him Star of the Week honours! The Leafs purportedly have one of the weaker schedules to close out the season, emphasizing the importance of winning against all the lower-ranked teams we'll be facing off against. As Jake McCabe said "It's important to get home ice". With up and coming games vs opponents that are outside of the playoff picture, top of the Atlantic is still very much in the picture. Time to keep our eyes on the prize as they say. Let's hope the team can turn this positive week into sustained momentum as we approach the spring dance! Go Leafs Go!

Breaking Down the Leafs’ 5-on-5 Woes: What’s Really Going Wrong? 51:06

il y a environ 7 jours51:06

51:06

Well we missed a show and it seems we may have hurt the Leafs because since our last episode the Leafs have only 1 shootout win vs Utah and 5 losses, including Saturday night vs the Sens! The team has certainly struggled since the Trade Deadline, and we take a look at what may be going on in the Good, the Bad and the Ugly. It's actually been an oddly positive year, with not too many ups and downs, but over this latest segment its sure been hard to pin point many note worthy performances. The new guys are getting acclimated, we're getting a couple back from injury, and some guys are just plain tired! Still there have been a few moments from the past couple weeks that made our Ladies Talkin’ Leafs Highlight Reel, so we shout out, a bruiser, a finisher, and a play maker that is taking his game up a notch at just the right time! Then for the Third Period, since we haven't had a chance to talk to you about the Trade Deadline, we give our assessment of how we think Brad did, as well as address some of things we’ve noticed that are concerning as we get closer to the playoffs! There are a lot of narratives swirling around the Leafs right now, and we're c rossing our fingers that they start to turn the ship around and get some wins. Winning the division has always been the goal, and with 16 games left, we are ready for the ramp up! Go Leafs Go!

What will the Leafs Do? Trade Deadline Insights with Mike Augello 1:07:04

1:07:04

Welcome to March and the trade deadline edition of the show! What will the Leafs do, will they do anything? Its a fun time for us fans - for the players maybe not so much! But before we get into all the NHL Trade Deadline talk, its time for another instalment of the Good the Bad and the Ugly, where we celebrate a wily vet, and a young gun who is finally coming in to his own. Not too much in the negative column for the Leafs these days, but with another key injury, as well as a lack lustre performance from one of our stars, we still had plenty to talk about. This turned into quite the fiery debate! Then we turn our attention to the Trade Deadline as we welcome back our LTL Insider Mike Augello to help break it down for us. GM Brad Treliving may have tried to poured cold water on fan's expectations, but that will never stop the endless speculation. We discuss all the possibilities, the absurd trade prices, and specific players in the mix, including a couple named Schenn. We also touch on the Mikko Rantanen situation and the effects his initial trade had on the market leading up to the deadline. Mike also shares his new venture hockeyhotstove.com with us, so be sure to check it out. It will have lots of NHL content, and of course our Leafs are sure to figure prominently! Lastly, we take a look ahead at the Leafs road trip which will conclude with their first visit vs the Utah Hockey Club. Its always a little bittersweet as we approach the deadline knowing that our team could look quite different next week. While we welcome the new players, we say goodbye to others, grateful for their contribution, all with the hopes that this new complement will be just what we need to get over the top.

Welcome back to the NHL’s regular season after a 2 week break! We are so pumped to be talking Leafs again with you! The grind of the NHL schedule gets going again for the Leafs with 3 games in 4 nights right off the hop! In this Quick Hits episode, we start off the show by putting a bow on the 4 Nations Tournament, and the dramatic OT win by Team Canada, breaking down the performances of our Leafs, and sharing our personal highlights. With the break behind us now, its time to turn the page and return to discussing the team and the games that really matter, touching on the Leafs return to play over the weekend. We also take a look ahead at the upcoming trade deadline, and Brad Treliving's potential shopping list (more to come next episode). Finally, we wrap up the show, with a view to the up and coming schedule. A lot of road tilts next month, and an opportunity to bring the team together again. While the 4 Nations was a wild and exciting break from the ordinary, we are excited to be getting back to business, talking about the Team we love and getting ready for the games that matter most.

The Leafs are coming off a great trip out west having won 3 of 4! During this roadie we also welcomed back John Tavares, Anthony Stolarz, and in a figurative way Morgan Rielly, who after a chat with the coach is starting to look like his old self again. In this Quick Hits episode, we take a look at the road trip and breakdown the games. There was lots to excited about, including a power play that finally started clicking, player milestones, and a hometown hatty! There is still room for improvement though, especially with the line combinations, something we are sure Brad Treliving will be looking at shoring up before the season resumes. Our star of the week for this segment is a long serving D-man that has been struggling to find his game. Don't know if the words of "encouragement" from the Coach did the trick, but something seems to have clicked for Morgan Rielly earning him Star of Week honours for this episode! When this show hits the airways, the 4 Nations Face Off puck drop will be mere hours away. I think we're actually more excited than we thought we would be to finally watch some of the best from these 4 countries square off. Come February 22nd though, everything will be on the line for the Leafs, and we will know in short order, who may be joining the roster for the stretch run. Enjoy the 4 Nations Tourney everyone!

Leafs End Their Dry January! Is this Western Swing Coming at Just the Right Time? 48:10

January wasn’t a great month for the Leafs, with players still heading in and out of the lineup, and continued scoring struggles. Thankfully we've turned the page on the calendar, and are heading into the month of February with a chance to reset and recharge. In our intro to the show we discuss the big news in the NHL, the salary cap increase, and what it might mean for the Leafs. We're hoping that our team will finally get the cap relief we've all been waiting for. Then, in this instalment of the GBU, we welcome the 4 Nations break and talk about how it may benefit the Leafs. We also give a shout out..again, to Joseph Woll who has been a rock between the pipes during this difficult stretch. On the bad side, we lament the Leafs' home record, and lack of scoring. For the Third Period, we are excited to welcome guest Jeremy Ridgewell from Editor in Leaf, and get his insights on the team's offensive struggles, his thoughts on Matthews' participation in the 4 Nations Face Off and what he thinks the Leafs need to target to bolster their lineup leading up to the NHL Trade Deadline. This Western swing so far has been the antidote we've been looking for. With only a handful of games remaining before the break, here's hoping that the Buds can head into it on a high note!

After another great showcase vs the Lightning on Amazon Prime Hockey, it ended up being a pretty forgettable week for the Leafs! In this quick hits episode, we look at the week's games vs the afore mentioned Tampa Bay Lightning, the Columbus Blue Jackets and the Ottawa Senators, and discuss how the Leafs managed to turn a great start, into a pretty meh week overall, squandering a chance to take 2 divisional games, and losing to a couple of opponents that they could meet in the first round if things continue to track as they have been. Even the worst weeks have a few great sparks though, and so we are thrilled to unveil Joseph Woll as our Star of the week! Calm and confident in the net, he is really making a case that he can handle the heavier workload! We wrap up this show with a look at the sparse week ahead, as the Leafs embark on a very light stretch of games. starting at home versus the Minnesota Wild. Then they head out for their first foray into Western Canada with tilts against the Edmonton Oilers, and Calgary Flames. With only 5 more games to play ahead of the 4 Nations Face-off, we're hoping the boys make the most of the practice and rest, so the can finish strong going into the break!

The Leafs had a 5 game win streak going and, of course it ended and it wasn’t pretty! Enter the dog days of the NHL season... We're back to our usual format for this show starting with the Good, the Bad and the Ugly, giving shout outs to the penalty kill, the one part of our specialty teams that is actually performing, as well as our most improved blue-liner. Sadly, some ugliness has crept into our segment for the first time this season, with both of us keying in on some similar themes, most notably the Power Play! Still there were a few highlight reel moments to celebrate, with kudos going to three talented forwards! Let's just say the letter 'M' figures prominently! Then for the Third Period, we preview the upcoming Four Nations Face-off tournament, discussing everything from the ticket prices, gauging fan excitement, to some interesting stats surrounding the rosters. Then finally, our conversation shifts to the Atlantic Division standings, as we take a look at the teams that we think could make a run at a playoff spot, including the Leafs and what they'll need to do to hang on to top spot. The second half of the NHL season is now upon us, and the next 6 weeks will present some challenges with the crazy schedule and lengthy break. We'll be back next week with another Quick Hit for you where we'll hopefully be talking about how the Leafs snapped their losing streak. 'Til then...Go Leafs Go!

While fans have been easing their way back into post Holiday routines, the Leafs have hit the ground running playing 3 games in 4 nights since New Year's Day! It's been a pretty good stretch too, with the club winning 4 out of 5 games up to Sunday's tilt vs Philly. Not a bad way to start 2025! Vote For Ladies Talkin’ Leafs - 2025 Sports Podcast Awards Best Hockey Podcast: https://www.sportspodcastgroup.com/podcast/ladies-talkin-leafs-4/ Diverse Voices Award: https://www.sportspodcastgroup.com/podcast/ladies-talkin-leafs-6/ Perhaps the best gift us Leafs fans received so far this year, is the return of our Captain, Auston Matthews! Mere days before he stepped back on the ice, Matthews himself intimated that he was uncertain about his return. Fast forward a few days and a calendar turn, and there he was, not only back on the ice vs the Bruins, but contributing in a big way, tallying 13 points combined with his line-mates and helping set up fellow Arizonite Knies for his first career hat-trick! The Captain wasn't the only one to make an impression. We also give some love to... you know it, Joseph Woll, who is building some stamina playing several consecutive games now, and 4 wins in 5. Next, its time to name our Quick Hits Star of the Week! Bobby McMan is this weeks star. With 2 goals and and assist, the point total definitely doesn't tell the whole story! Developing into a true power forward, he's using the energy created by his line-mates and taking it to the net! With yet another 2 goal game to add to his resume, Rocket McMann is most certainly worthy of Star of the Week honours! We wrap up the episode with our usual look ahead at whats coming up for the Leafs. Its gonna be a busy January! We'll be back next week with another episode, 'til then a reminder that you still have time to vote for our show in the categories of Best Hockey Podcast and The Diverse Voices Award in the Sports Podcast Awards! Voting closes January 13th so you still have time to lend us your support, and we thank you for taking the time. Go Leafs Go!

Stars, Struggles and Snubs 34:26

A lot of games to talk about after a very busy week! In this episode of Leafs Quick Hits, we discuss the Leafs' recent segment of games, focusing on the return of Auston Matthews, the dynamics of team line adjustments, and the struggles of players like Nick Robertson. We also analyze the upcoming returns of key players, and what that may mean for the roster. Then we spend a bit of time talking about the selection process for Team Canada, in particular we take a look at a few of the Leafs that may have been on the bubble. John Tavares may not have made the 4 Nations cut but he sure caught our attention this week, which was good enough to earn him Star of the Week honours for this episode! To wrap we take a look ahead at another busy week, which includes some games against a few bottom feeders, including 2 divisional match-ups that we feel are must-wins for the Buds. The next few weeks leading up to the Christmas break should see the infirmary doors opening up with more players rejoining the roster. It will be interesting to see which of the call-ups get an extended look. We'll be back next week to talk about that and a whole lot more. Go Leafs Go!

We are just past U.S. Thanksgiving, which is the unofficial harbinger for NHL teams hopes of making the playoffs! In this episode we kickoff the show talking a bit about the start of the PWHL season, highlighting the Toronto Sceptres' first win and the excitement surrounding the league's sophomore season. Then in the Good, the Bad and the Ugly, we highlight a couple of stellar performances in the midst of a sparse schedule. In addition the Refs make their season debut in the Bad category, and we also express our continued concern over the overflowing Leafs infirmary. Next, for our Third Period segment, we welcome back to the show journalist Damien Cox to share his insights on the Leafs' current season, coaching changes, and the need for depth scoring and chemistry to set the team up for success in the playoffs. Then, with the up and coming unveiling of the Four Nations Face-off rosters and the excitement around it, we get Damien's insights on best-on best international tournaments past and present, and discuss the potential picks for Team Canada and the challenges and expectations surrounding the choices for goaltenders. To wrap up the show we take a look at what's coming up for the Buds, as the schedule picks up now that we are into December. We hope they got lots of rest in the previous few weeks, because the games will be coming fast and furious now heading all the way to the Christmas break. Go Leafs Go!
