Maple Leafs’ Compete Levels Drop | Real Kyper & Bourne | March 18, 2026

  1. Cannot wait for the Morgan Rielly era in Toronto to finally come to an end. Useless, terrible, ridiculously overpaid pylon. Buy him out if he's not going to wave his NMC.

  2. How many teammates has Auston Matthews defended?…..thats a big Zero. Use whatever excuse you want for that. Beruba, the coach of this "team", stood at a podium and pointed his finger at this team and let them know, in front of the world, that if they dont defend a man, who has never and will never defend them, they are expendable. Read that again to yourself…that doesn't build a team..that lets everyone know their place is not important. Will Wilie Nylander ever defend a teammate? I think we all know the answer. He, like Matthews, doesn't even defend himself. Im a Leafs fan but it doesn't blind me to what they problem is.

  3. If the Leafs aren't in the playoffs then the playoffs don't matter. The reality is if playing for the Leafs is so much harder then winning a cup here means more, and therefore every cup not won by the Leafs has an asterisk because they didn't win it while playing in the hardest place to play. If it ain't Leafs it ain't hockey. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

  4. Kyper is so 100% correct about the type and quality of energy being the key to success and going far. This "thing" should be the topic of PhD dissertations. It is REAL.

  5. I feel like management that everyone down on this one if they had shaken things up in December like they are doing now would they be in a better spot? It feels like management is very slow to react and maybe they micromanage Berube… because he wasn’t like this coaching other teams.

  6. The lack of response to Matthews being hit is a clear sign these guys don’t believe in each other. Best to take it to the studs and hire Pronger to lead the way.

  7. Just changing the coach is not going to do anything. Cant change players who care more about fashion than their team. Why would anyone want to stick up for players they don’t respect… Leadership needs to change. Fire treliving and Berube, strip Matthew’s C and trade nylander.

  8. Jack hughes needs to give his dad his Olympic game winning skates and his hockey stick, never mind the puck. Keep the tradition alive, and not his delusional entitlement.

  9. Sam's hate for Americans is ever present, calling Jack a baby while whining in a baby voice is of course an absolute insult to Jack, I'm sure Sam's proud

  10. Devils fan, Jacks shine is wearing thin.

    Grow up the pucks in the hall of fame for a reason.

    That was a huge win for the states.

    Maybe get your team to the playoffs before having the ego 😅

    Also kip missimg the point. Its not the nhl. Theres no "precident" crosbys puck is in the hall so thats the standard.

  11. Willy has never gotten an avg of 22 mins or even 2 mins for a quarter of the season.

    From years 1 to 6 or maybe 7, Willy never played 19+ mins per game

  12. Love the show, but I don't understand why your YouTube post has 5 minute breaks at the beginning and throughout the pod. Simple edit makes it so much more convenient for viewers. Cheers boys!

  13. "THAT MESSAGE HAS GOTTEN ACROSS" > LOL > AND YOU TWITS AREN'T CALLING OUT THIS OBVIOUS *PR BULLSHIT*????? BAREBOOBIES HAS BEEN PREACHING THIS SAME "MESSAGE" JUST LIKE KEEFE AND BABS > CHICKENSHIT LEAFS ARE ONLY NOW TRYING TO SAVE FACE AFTER BEING PUBLICLY SHAMED AND EMBARRASSED INTO DOING SO!!! DUH!!!

  14. Trade Wee Willy Wanker – load up on picks. They will NEVER win with him.

    Same with Matthews … ship him out before the league realizes he's got a Vaxxxxxine Injury that is permanent

  15. Holy f*ck, pick a god damn lane Kyper!! Matthews is hit, nobody jumps in and EVERYBODY is ridiculed, regardless if they're 'good' at fighting or not, Rielly jumps in to fight and now you don't want to see players who aren't fighters, fighting?! Nobody on the ice when Matthews was hit was a fighter…

  16. If I was playing on an opposing team and had some grit to my game… I would relentlessly TAUNT Wee Willy Winky… I'd call him a coward…a pretty man bag boy … ask him if he didn't drop cuz he didn't want a busted jaw for the Vogue photo shoot…

    Of course he does have some Regular Season Talent… so when he scored on us he'd chirp me…

    And I'd chirp back … come back and see me when you can do that when it MATTERS …

  17. To the point about Stolz & Woll
    If the Leafs picked up the phone to Edmonton at trade deadline, you think the Oilers aren't moving pieces out or a three way trade isn't happening & something close to a haul is coming back our way

  18. It's an attitude issue amongst the whole team, good team dynamics would be if you clipped the goalie the whole team is barking at that player and everyone on the ice is shoving that guy and giving him crap. I respect Morgan for trying, now the others need to protect their teammates too.

  19. Kyper is right on he should have his puck. Or atleast have been offered it then offered to donate it. First goal in soccer first touchdown in football first nhl goal all of them you take it home and donate it later on in life if you want. Its a 2 dollar puck what are we even talking about. I know collectoe value but it has no value if the guy who did the deeed wasnt there its important because of him and he should have had the option

  20. I love this podcast and watch almost every one. That being said, I am a Bruins fan. We weren't supposed to be competitive this year, but Minten changed all that. I am so happy we have Minten, we're competing for a playoff spot and this is during our first year of a rebuild/retool. Any way, would you guys would be willing to trade Knies for Elias Lindholm?🤣

  21. Custom not courtesy. Kyper is right. The puck becomes the property of the goal scorer by custom. Customs often have a legally binding effect; in this case, the puck should be Hughes property if he wants it. Btw, I am an attorney.

  22. All the Hughes boys are American Zionists (as is most of the upper echelons in the NHL/media). Me first ideology & money mongering is in their DNA, democracy is not!

  23. Sundin was useless in my opinion no thanks, were good. i'd rather have Wendel Clark in the organization 100%. That's the best leader the Leafs have ever had.
