Gee, look how the Leafs play when AM34 is not around. It makes you wonder. Why should anyone stand up for someone who has spent a decade not caring about his teammates, worried only about his paycheck, his stats, and his individual awards? I guess you get EXACTLY the same karma, so nobody should be surprised.
This fake outrage is laughable. Does Brad think we are morons ? He constructed a team of pussies and they acted accordingly. If anything we should all be pissed at him.

Treliving constructed this Leaf team. This is very poor team construction. Leaf fans should be worried if Treliving is allowed to make more player trades and moves.
My Bantom team when I was 14 played with more "Piss and Vinegar" than the Leafs 🤦
I hope Nylander was the first player he called
I'm so sick of these spineless losers on this team
Every year we talk about DNA change and all they do is shuffle the deck chairs around the people lacking the DNA
Eyes open GM. You have been asleep since you arrived in TO. Nothing but excuses coming from you and most of the team. NO leadership. The season could have been salvaged if you got rid of the coach 20, 30 games ago. Made a few lineup changes….trades…The team has been terrible all season. outplayed, outshot almost every single game. At the bottom of the NHL in every single category. The team has gotten older, slower, softer under you….no hunger, passion, grit, pushback….sad to witness. How come i can see this? You people are getting big, big bucks to produce, succeed, move forward…wow, what a mess. NO leadership.
I think we can stop talking about mathews being one of the best in the league.. former maybe but currently??? He hasn't scored 69 in his last 2 seasons, 4 playoff series, 4 nations , Olympics combined.
Tre is ridiculous to call the players. Has mathews ever received a call for cowering away after he watched countless leafs get run???? No current leaf wants anything to do with mathews if this is how it goes. If i received that call i would be out in the media telling it like it is. 34 is a pos princess who never stood up for anybody.
So 34 has zero fighting penalties. Probably 0 roughing penalties. Has seasons with 4 total penalty mins Mathews has been nothing but a princess. I love how you guys completely ignored the tchuk bros saying 34 comes to the rescue of his fellow players..
My boss yellled at me many times and I mean screamed and all I could do was wait until after so I could find a place to bust out laughing.
Yes Brad, Carlo, that's your big pickup. Imagine if Carlo had reacted like that in Beantown, he would have been benched for the rest of the game…
Out scouting, for what???
Just fyi-i can’t stand your team or your fans (wings fan) and i only started following this pod to revel in your misery, but i have to say you guys do a really good job, you can really tell you guys take it seriously. Respect.🍻
Can you really argue with what Brady and Matthew said??? The part about Austin jumping in automatically was a stretch…lol
Treliving is a joke. The guy exudes ZERO confidence and ZERO strength. He is the worst GM in the NHL.
Brad's solution is to bring in a bunch of underperforming players and hope for them to bounce back in the hardest place to play while also being the oldest, slowest most injured team in the league…what could go wrong? Do you have a plan yet Brad….ripped off at the deadline 2 years in a row as well, how the heck does this guy still have a job????
DNA change won’t happen until the Dubas remnants are Gone and Dusted.
Toronto has a bad hockey culture. Losing has be come acceptible. Bottom Line is that they are making big profit….so nothing will change. Just lip service.
Multi-millionaire males/men 20 – 30 something year olds, on their way to becoming billionaires DON'T WANT TO GET INJURED/disabled, how will they be able to enjoy spending all those millions/billions?
Why stand up for a guy who never stood up anybody himself?
Gudas should have left on a stretcher
Radko gudas is the reason the Philadelphia Flyers lost their playoff series early in his career.
During practice he took out the best player on the team😮
