1. Bunkis only comes for the wins now.

2. They need to take that’s it. They make it to the playoffs. They’re gone first round anyways this team don’t got it. It’s done history.

3. Sad that we're not good enough to be winners and we're not bad enough to be losers. We have no assets in the cupboard. Just to fade out will be sad.
   It would be quite amazing to get hot and start destroying teams but could that really happen?

4. This is the problem with Nylander, though. He CAN turn it on and look like a McDavid or MacKinnon. But he really only does that vs. teams he knows he can dominate, like the Flames. Does Nylander ever play a game like this in the playoffs? No. And why is that? It's because playoff teams, especially in the Atlantic, are very, very good teams, with 4 solid lines rolling. That is what separates very good players from great players. Rantanen, McDavid, MacKinnon, Pastrnak, Kucherov, Makar: they can have games like this in the playoffs. Nylander does not. And I really, really love Willy and this team. I truly do. But I guess I'm sobering up and realizing that this team just doesn't have it. I want them to succeed, but they're not good enough to be in the playoffs this year. Not in the Atlantic.

5. Nylander showed up in his hometown. Surprise

6. for the first few seconds i was like what happened to sam mckee's face lmao

7. They only have their 3rd and 5th. Tanking for the 3rd and 5th rounds is stupid. They just need to sell and get what they get and hopefully finish above the sens, panthers, mammoth and kings and send Boston the 12-14 pick rather than the 7-8 pick.

8. 23:55 deadline last year wasn’t Brad. That was Shanny trying to save his job. Everyone forgets Shanny was still here last years deadline.

9. If you're rooting for your team to TANK… you are pathetic. Go back and watch Rocky or any great movie you grew up watching as a kid.. "It ain't over till it's over!"

10. They can't even tank properly 😭

11. Ofc bumkis wants to sell, but why can’t the plan be to just admit we are losing the 1st round pick? Why can’t that be the option moving forward? That’s reality. Trying to lose to be one of the 5th worst teams in the league is a pipe dream

12. Nylander carried the team again. They finally winning again.

13. Did this guy refer to himself as the Illuminati..? What a dork. These are painful without Sammy

14. Right on the money

15. Comparing Nylander to McDavid. Toronto media is such a joke.

16. The rabbit punch was penalized.

17. Frank just looks like the evolved form of Sam Mckee

18. No Pirates? No Palm trees! No fun in Canadian markets.

19. If I was a Flames fan I would not want Craig Conroy managing a rebuild

20. HOCKEY ILLUMINATI! THIS IS A CROSSOVER I DIDN'T KNOW I NEEDED. Side note; we even suck at tanking. I remain a broken man

21. I wonder if Austin has been listening to various hockey shows as I've noticed he's actually been engaged in scrums , at least grabbing someone vs skating away . The Leafs are no different than good to middle teams , if they get really good goaltending , and have a healthy line up they can win most game . The elite teams like Colorado or Tampa can win missing a player or two and with average goaltending .

22. What kind of professional plays when they want to? He makes over 11 he should play every night. Floater trade him

23. WHEN Willy is ON …he is one of the best in the world.

24. Reminder guys… Willy has only played 39 games this year…..that DEFINITELY hurt the Leafs. And he's STILL leading the team in scoring

25. Seriously, stop with the Willy looking like McDavid crap. As a Leaf fan, that's just crazy talk.

26. The colab I didn’t know I needed.

27. I guess you youngsters on these sports podcasts don't realize that Willy's dad Micheal Nylander had some issues with Calgary flames that maybe could inspire Willy to add some extra beat down to the performance

28. Hi Frank, love ya!!

29. Nice to see hockey illuminati on the pod!
