Domi & Knies Double Dip, Leafs Douse Flames, Onto Columbus ft. Ryan Leslie
You’re watching Leaf’s Morning Tape with host Nick Alber and former NHL Jay Roseill. The show starts now. All right, away we go. It is October 29th. Nick Albera, Jay Roseill. The Wednesday edition of lease morning take presented by bet 365. How are we doing Rosie? Yes sir. Pretty good man. Both the teams get W last night. That was uh that was an awesome night. I am doing good. How about yourself? Good. Those Blue Jays man that that is resiliency with a capital R after an 18 ining game. You lose deflated. You come back. Great performance by Bieber. Clutch home run by Vlatty Guerrero. And it’s the same ingredients we’ve seen all season long, man. Down to a best of three here against the LA Dodgers. Yeah, they’re just chipping away, just singles at a time and just racking them up before you know it. You you just grab the big lead and you’ve uh pretty much got yourself the win just like that. It’s nothing crazy. It seems like they’re just they’re just so good at next man up and I’ll do my job and I’ll I’ll pitch in here and it’s just it’s awesome to watch, man. And um I laugh going back to the season because I I don’t follow baseball all season long, but to hear the people [ __ ] and gripe about well you you about the Jays and where they’re at and how they’re garbage and then just to find them in the World Series and not just in it, but I mean everyone from day one has been like well the Dodgers are just going to win the World Series again and they are giving them a handful have a chance to win. I think tonight’s game is more than likely going to be the deciding game, you know, and it’s up for the it’s up for grabs. It’s it’s pretty exciting, man. And they can pull this off. It would just it would be unbelievable. Just unbelievable. It really is still perplexing how this team, you know, eight months ago, everybody counted them out. Everybody disregarded them. They were going to finish last in Major League Baseball. To be two wins away from a World Series is very, very perplexing. And on top of that, to think eight months later, Trey Y Savage would be on the hill for game five of the World Series. I’m excited for this. I think it’s going to be a fun game, a fun night. But you talk about nails. I mean, this kid doesn’t even know the the league yet. And all of a sudden, he’s starting game five of the World Series, man. Yeah. It’s unreal for him. It’s fun watching his parents be, especially his dad be so jacked up every pitch. I think he sat down Otani that game one and his dad was just like, “Are you kidding me?” And you can just imagine the whirlwind that that family has gone through this year. It’s unreal. Unreal is right. Our super chat charity partner is Sick Kids. Want to make sure that your question or comment gets on the show. Hit us up with a super chat. Proceeds from our super chat will go to Sick Kids ranked the number one research intensive children’s hospital in Canada and third in the world. So results are in on the NHL frozen frenzy parlay. Did you have a chance to see the results on social media last night? No, I was waiting for you this morning. How many dings did you get? Not bad, dude. I went 11 for 16 in my picks and uh I got screwed by the Carolina Vegas game. Carolina was leading in that game. Florida’s really struggling. The Joel Quenville revenge game got me. Uh Minnesota Winnipeg went back and forth. Detroit handed St. Louis. Chicago Ottawa. Connor Baddard had himself a night, but man, like I was I was right there. 11 for 16 NHL picks is tough. Uh it was quite the night. Uh 109 total goals by the way, the third most in a day in NHL history. That’s an average of 6.8 per game. Yeah, that’s quite a bit, especially when 32 teams are playing. Uh that’s fun. My only gripe is I wish that you know they do that to grow the game and whatnot. You do it in the middle of the World Series when it’s a Tuesday. like come on guys, you can’t get a a Saturday rock and Saturday night frozen frenzy so people can seriously sit down all day and watch hockey who who are into that kind of thing. But uh other than that, it’s cool they do it. Um too much to keep up with really. I was watching the highlights this morning and it just it just won’t end. There’s so many games it was uh it’s cool. It’s nice to see. Would you like to see earlier start times than just six? We had two games start at six. Of course, the lease game was pushed back by 15 minutes to cater to the World Series crowd. Would you like to see games start in the afternoon? Maybe. Well, again, if it was on Saturday, I think that would make sense. You know, um, playing in Philly, I don’t know why, but they always seem to have matinea games. Um, I loved them, to be honest. Some guys don’t, but, uh, if you’re going to put something together like that, again, I would think it would make more sense to go on a Saturday and really spread them out and people can pull an Albera and hunker down on the couch all day long and watch about 12 hours of hockey. Yeah, it’s like every day for me. I’ll be honest about it. But, uh, our attention for sure was on that Philadelphia Pittsburgh game and people voicing, you know, their opinion and saying that the battle of Pennsylvania is back. I saw that Trevor Zris clip and I’m like, who better to break down that clip than you? Not to put V producer Vic on the spot, but we all saw it. What the hell was that from Trevor Zaggress last night, Rosie? I know. I I can’t I He’s just like the the the definition of a Gen Z player to me. Like I have nothing against him, but he’s you know he he’s soft. He’s soft. Okay. Then oh god is he soft and starts kind of some [ __ ] and then okay kind of gets in there and everything’s fine. It ends up being where and I love this stuff like end of OT. You still got to So he he sneaks out of this, you know. Then Achari’s just down and he’s like, oh, let me go around here and just pop him in the back of the head and knock his helmet off. And then Oh, help me. Help me. Look at his palms. Ah, my hand. Eek, eek, help. Backing up. Backing up. Backing up. Backing up. Like your able body to stand in there and shove a little bit. give a face like what’s I just don’t know what to be so goddamn scared of especially when you’re one that started all that. So had a good chat threw a tweet out there and man there’s some uh some differentiated opinions on it which makes me chuckle too. It was an embarrassment to the Philadelphia Flyers. I’m just going to call a spade a spade. Okay. What is that organization known for for the last 40 whatever years? It it’s just they they pride themselves on being that don’t mess with me team then you see that type of [ __ ] But we see it nightly in this league unfortunately. Well, I was waiting to see what happens with Zegris coming to the Broad Street Bullies. He’s doesn’t really fit the mold as you said. But, uh, you aside from that stuff, he’s he’s playing great. He’s putting up points. He’s he’s a hell of a skilled player. I just wish that some of these kids grew up where you learned a little bit. Maybe we’ll send them some rockoms or something like that and just say, “Hey, this is okay, too, buddy. can you can uh you can introduce this type of play at least to some neutral degree rather than I mean your palms are up and you’re absolutely swimming backwards hiding behind the linesman after starting basically the whole thing. Um I just don’t know where your head’s at and how you could have any sense of pride in doing that. But again, everyone’s cut differently. I just had a chuck saying my god Zer is at it again. I uh was a proud dinosaur watching hockey on Sunday night and uh forgive me if I got the name wrong, but Victor Mancini, I think it was on Vancouver. They tried desperately to find his first ever fight, but they couldn’t. It was his first ever fight over the weekend. He had never fought in a hockey game before, period, in life, and he fought an NHL game. And I was such a proud proud dinosaur watching Victor Mancini. I missed it. How did he do? He did well. He’s a bigger boy. But I couldn’t believe like I I know they were talking about it on the broadcast. They’re like, “Yeah, we’ve been looking feverishly to try to fight a Mancini fight and they couldn’t find one.” And that’s he he admitted them to he’s like, “I’ve never been in a fight in my life.” I love that. Yeah. And I mean, there’s guys that don’t do it or don’t like it or don’t have to. And that’s all fine and dandy, but you’d think somewhere along the way of a long road to getting to the NHL, you’d come across one time where you’re like, I think the right thing to do is shed him and grab onto this guy. But, uh, but no bueno. I guess we’re going to check it out here. Oh, there it is. That guy. Boy, Vicki. Yeah, guy. Dude, he looks seasoned trading. Look, the thing I love is like he’s not grabbing on with his right hand. He is keeping it free and just even when he’s eating some. Most guys go back on their heels, duck their head down, grab on with two hands. It’s like, well, there is not a chance in hell you’re going to have any success now. But that kid’s chucking and chucking and chucking. Geez, I thought it was going to look a lot worse. He didn’t look scared. I’m surprised he hasn’t done it before, man. He’s got the aggression and the balls and he’s chucking rights the whole body time. That was a great fight. Did I ever tell the story of my first ever Tilly, my only Tilly in in life on this podcast? No. How did this come about? Fanshaw College. Um, I think we had like a pre-drink or something and we we lived beside these Serbian twins. Dude, they were off. These guys love to fight. It was like UFC every Friday night in front of my house at Fchaw College and it would be a blood bath. Like these guy, you don’t you don’t mess with these guys. But I had a buddy over from high school and he was a little gooned up and like did like that to them. Like he was just kidding. Like it was a joke and they they lost their marbles and pretty much jumped him and I had no choice. And I got in there I I fled my [ __ ] I’m like you you got to step up for your boys someday. Like I didn’t There’s some people who like that embrace that. I’m like I’m not the the fighter type, but sometimes you got to do it. And it’s a it’s a crazy momentum boosting feeling. You know what I mean? like adrenaline is rushing through your body, especially at a moment like that where I’m gooned to begin with. But yeah, I’ll never forget it. That’s uh yeah, it is like nothing else, man. Especially uh afterwards when I can’t really think of too many experiences where you are absolutely gassed because you’re like fighting for dear life and you’re just you are exhausted. You can’t even hold your hands up at the end of some of them, but your adrenaline is just dumped. So, it’s this really odd feeling that I can’t really relate to anything else in life, but uh I I just think it’s awesome. But you didn’t say how the scrap went. Were you chucking them? Did you eat a few or I ate a few. I landed a bunch. Um I think it’s different than like hockey fighting though, man. Like especially that and knowing those guys like they would have murdered somebody. So like when you’re protect street hockey or No, these are street fights, dude. Like these guys were just like it was just like a fist fight, man. Like it’s it’s I don’t think it’s comparable to like hockey. I think there’s this common respect when you fight in hockey like it’s over at some point in time. These guys I’d witnessed it before this happened. It it it didn’t end for them. That was the scary part, you know. Oh yeah. Street fighting and playground fighting. I I I have I’ve been in a handful of those and whatnot, but uh there’s nothing I like about being in a scrap in public or at a bar, a playground. Like it’s completely different. And yeah, it’s like I don’t there’s nothing about that that’s appealing to me at all. And you see some of the stuff that happens on the internet. It’s it’s ugly. It’s awful. I would not I would never uh condone scrapping uh in public or street fighting or any of that stuff. But in hockey, it’s just a different a different thing. The linies are there. Everyone knows when it’s over. There’s there’s it’s just it’s not as dangerous as people think it is to be honest. I’d like to crunch the numbers on the amount of hockey fights that have happened and then injuries from it. It’s it’s nowhere near body checks to be honest with you. So that’s always kind of my my argument. People like get fighting out of the game because of concussions. It’s like well the concussions come enormous majority from from body checks, but there’s no there’s no talk about getting that out of it. You know, it’s uh you know, again, majority of the time two guys are uh doing what they have to do and nothing comes from it. Shout out to Victor Mancini. Shout out to Zack Phillips as well. The Leaf Nation Afterdark coming up once again tonight. the backto back for the Maple Leafs. Very rare to see this team play a road game. We’re going to see it tonight visiting Columbus. Kaden Primo is going to go. Don’t forget to check out DN After Dark with Zack following the game. Also coming up in about uh 15 minutes from now, team host for the Maple Leafs, Ryan Lesley is going to stop by the show and I was trading texts with him last night. They were on the plane as the Maple Leafs are doing damage to the LA Dodgers. Kind of cool to get the reaction of the plane coming up. I know he’s uh you know, we’ve interviewed him before the season started. He got that job. was certainly excited and had some some ideas for it. And so far, all I’ve seen is is a whole bunch of unique and interesting interviews. And I’ve said before, I love it when fans get access to the guys. Like, especially on the plane and behind closed doors and in different situations where normally it’s like there’s no cameras, microphones, or interviews going on here, guys. It’s just kind of an oversight or just thought just no one’s ever thought of it. and and then uh and then Leslie’s getting in there and uh giving us some fun access and showing us some different things as you mentioned. So uh by all accounts doing a great job so far. Our chat’s awesome. Uh LOL Razles writes in, “Had a full-on tilly at the keto bala. It was lethal.” So the chat just turned into a fight conversation, which I think is everybody just talking about their first fight, but awesome stuff.

But all I’ll say, Rosie, they got the job done. They won the hockey game. Did the Maple Leafs. How’d you view it? Yeah, they did. They got the job done. And honestly, Calgary is a better team than they’re than they’re showing. They have had a disaster start. Bottom feeders, people talking about McKenna and tanking and all that. you rattle off, you know, we and Anderson and Coleman, Cadri, Hubardo, Wolf, like they’ve got some pieces there, and I really I think they’ll start to climb back up the standings. Are they like a playoff team or something? I kind of doubt it, even though last year they made a pretty good push to to get in the playoffs. By all accounts, could have, would have, should have been in the playoffs. I think in other years they got into 96 points, maybe um enough to get them in. And that was just a few months ago. They have a very they’re the same roster essentially. So, um I didn’t want the Leafs to take them lightly. Um I don’t know if you if you I think that our pattern of losing to bottom feeder teams is is kind of gone away in the last year and I hope that continues. I remember when we started this show, uh this our fourth season, but my god, it was like clockwork. We would it would be our bet of the day that they’re that they’re going to drop a game to a team they absolutely should beat. But um you know shades of that to start um defensively just kind of like what are we doing? And um also some chances they’re just not quite burying to start off with the power play again. I know I think they got one last night but uh it’s just not as lethal as it could be and a parade to the penalty box. Ample opportunities like you take a strangle hold in that game if your power plays anything but garbage and they just didn’t. But again, not to knock on them, there was some positives in there. And um I I do believe that the Flames are a better team than they let on. So to so to take the reigns and get that thing done is is great. And they got a a two goal or a twoame uh streak going here. So I hope they keep it going against Columbus. That was a dick swinging competition and how to surrender the worst goal possible. Can you explain what what that was on the game-winning goal for the Maple Leafs? Like I’ve seen that in Timbits hockey, you know, when they just like follow the puck. like I I couldn’t believe my eyes. Calgary had 17 opportunities to clear the zone and all of a sudden the Leafs score, man. Yeah. Kind of kind of a a breakdown there like Doi and and Nazis are bumping into each other. But what’s Ryan Huska thinking watching that, man? Uh where our head where’s our head at, you know? And um yeah, they’re struggling. The Flames for sure, and I think they’re better than what they’re showing. and they were in that game for a lot of it. But, you know, on our side, we had some some brain dead blunders, too. And people are talking about Morgan Riley and like what? Yeah, that’s pretty scrambly, man. Pretty scrambly. But how about Jamie shooting, man? He is labeling it and uh by all accounts finding it. We remember was it last year he just couldn’t score to start the season for and he sure seems to have it there and finding some cam with some different guys. So, that’s great to see. I I’m waiting for the floodgates to open and everyone start to get on the board and start to dominate. Na, to be honest, I was going to mention yesterday would like to see a little bit more out of him. Um, he was going to be my 365 bet of the day in some way, shape, or form. And then I was like, man, I always go with guys that are that are a little bit cool and thinking they’re going to pop off tonight and they end up, you know, being in a little bit of a slump where you always ride the hot hand and I’m always like, it’s not going to last. but had a thought of Na yesterday and he was kind of everywhere just um getting things done and got the score sheet in a big way. So that’s awesome to see. He’s a big he’s going to be a big driver of this team. It’s great when they score goals in the paint and within like two feet of the goalie like when they start playing that brand of hockey, the Barubi brand of hockey, which I think we saw the most we’ve seen so far maybe this season in that game just the lunch pail grind ozone track. like it was just uh like they just have to find a way to bottle up those shifts and put it all together. I don’t think they’ve done it yet, but I am promised by a couple things I’ve seen last night specifically just like the ozone um you know the forche they’re they’re they’re being a bit more physical like we’re starting to see it all come together and I think N is a prime example of a guy who just will do well in that type of setting that type of format and just going to ground grind town. I think Calgary again was a perfect opponent for that type of outing and I thought he was great. John Tavvarz again was the catalyst for everything. Yeah, I thought he was going to get his 500th. He was he was darn close. I thought he the way he celebrated on Nis. I thought he kind of did get it and I was waiting for They looked at each other too, huh? Yeah, it’s kind of kind of close. But on that goal Ny like there’s one where you could stand in the high slot and be like just just watching going h maybe it’ll pop out to me. No, he he sees a loose puck, a scramble in front, and just goes flying to the net, takes a swing at it, and in the back of the net it goes. I agree with you. Getting around the paint and getting to the dirty areas, just comes flying in and makes something happen. Like, I love seeing that. It just makes the other team scramble as a defenseman. sticks and bodies are everywhere and you’re getting overwhelmed and you’re not sure to take this guy or take that lane and you start to spin around and it’s just havoc and you know when the Leafs get frustrating they stay to the perimeter in the outside and they’re trying to thread needles and they’re they’re just looking for or waiting for opportunities and it’s just like God you guys it’s not just going to come and be served to you on a plate. Go make something happen. can go wreak some havoc and uh Ny right there’s a great example of that huge body just go to the net crash and bang and they they’ve got such good sticks and skill in tight those guys can find ways to bury from there and I hope that becomes a trend where they’re causing havoc in front of the other team’s goalie because it’s effective and I think this team is is now designed to to try to play a brand of hockey like that and as we all know in the playoffs when we watch these guys get stagnant there’s there’s nothing going on in front and they’re waiting for their big cookies opening lanes and all the rest of it from the outside and just doesn’t work, man. You run out of time and it doesn’t happen. You got to force it and get in there and play a little bit dirty and muck a bit. And nice to see last night. I love when they play tenacious and um I thought it was a big response game in general, but a bunch of different responses in that game, including the late goal in the first period. What a play by Knander, man. He picks the defenseman stick. I know Huska probably hates that. Feeds N outweighs Wolf, puts it in. like goals like that are just so big and you can obviously speak to it. I think the the mood on that bench was probably really really shitty. You let the late goal there in the first period, you’re down 2-1 and the response to go in the room feeling good like that. That’s that’s some love to see that, man. Yeah, I’m noticing Willie, man. He is like, God, he’s smart and in control and in such control that sometimes it can kind of come off um, you know, a little bit like, hey, this isn’t Craig Brew hockey, you know, but how how can you how can you blame the guy? He’s got such a a big hockey IQ and then such a skill set to be able to accomplish things that uh he’s jumping off the page for me quite a And as long as Willy’s effort is there and he’s not doing the old nah [ __ ] I don’t feel like backchecking right now or getting that guy or putting the jets on to get body position on, you know, as long as it’s not that. And that’s kind of my only knock sometimes is he’s a little bit um capable of going there, which is just like kind of unacceptable with where the Leafs need to go and what they’re trying to instill in their team. Aside from that, he he’s just he’s so good and you can I think you can tell that he’s realized I need to step up now with uh you know the departure of Marner and and the points that are going to go away with him. He seems like he understands the assignment and he’s he’s stepping up and uh you know a little bit of criticism the first couple of games here and there getting his feet wet but he looks great. Is it too rich to say that power play is uh getting better? Um, this stat is insane. And credit to producer Vic for telling us the numbers the other day about last October. Seven for 61 combined over the past two October. They go one for four last night. Big power play goal though. Yeah, it was nice to get on the board for sure. Um, like first of all, you get a parade to the penalty box. Like what a dog [ __ ] first period. Like and not just against the Leafs. I’m not saying they pick on the Leafs. Just in general, the NHL like Hubedo took one. He like reached over and his stick touched the opponent’s stick. Like what makes you put your hand up for that? Especially when there’s already been a parade to the there’s and another one come and here’s and they’re overlapping penalties. Like why? Like what does that accomplish? You in the past have wanted to open up the game in like 20 years ago, right? and we’re going to call obstruction. And we’re worried that, you know, there’s the goalies are too big and the guys aren’t scoring enough goals and fans want to see goals. Let’s let’s let’s call obstruction. And anytime you touch a guy or whatever, that’s 20 years ago. Scoring is back. These new sticks, the way they can shoot, the way these kids practice from a young age, they they just rifle it. There’s highlight reel goals left, right, and center. want to see them and we want to see the game be exciting and intense and the momentum shifts and swings and who’s grabbing it and who’s losing it and how do you get it back and no just arm up tweet arm up tweet just drive the game’s momentum down to a halt with these go like I’m sorry but power plays aren’t very exciting to me they’re really not these guys are good enough they can make plays five on five and score goals and I don’t think scoring being down is a problem anymore. So why are you putting your hand up for the tickytac [ __ ] I can’t stand it. Yeah, the ozone nice penalty I think was in what the second period where I I wasn’t pissed. I I wasn’t sure if it was a penalty to begin with. Um but because NY had been working and grinding all night long like just let it go. Like he’s a physical player. But yeah, I think that that the rest were victim of just trying to help each team out in the first period because they were going back and forth with calls. Next thing you know, there’s like what, five power plays in the first period at the Leafs Nation 401. Hit that like button, hit that subscribe button. We’re about 5 minutes away here from Ryan Lesley dropping by the show once again. Where you at with Anthony Stolars? Um, I think a lot of people are getting on him. Maybe it’s because of the comments a couple weeks back, but I think it’s a lot of this to me is more about the system and putting the goalender in just a really, really tough position. I thought he made some big stops again last night, like the one throw up play. Was it in the first period where they just like threw it away and it was like a two on, but we’re seeing that like three times a game, unfortunately. Yeah, I know. I think Stolley I think he’s um he’s got more to give. His ceiling is higher than how he’s played. I mean, that’s that’s obvious whether it’s the eye test or if you’re looking at the numbers. Um I’m not worried about it or anything. And the timing of it is kind of crappy for him because he, you know, he’s he’s sitting on his high horse and he has a platform and he decides, I’m going to I’m going to say what I think here and it might not be that positive towards my team. Okay. I was I was okay with it. Um I might not have been if I was in the room. I think most of the guys on the team would have preferred he did that behind closed doors, but you’re hot under the collar and you say it on on air, fine. and then doesn’t quite play up to his potential that he’s played for an entire season. I mean, I he he’s for a year straight, he had the highest save percentage in the NHL. I mean, you’re playing really good hockey. Um, but I think a lot of it as well is the the way the defense are playing in front of him. It’s a little bit scrambly like Oel to start that game. I just thought he was just getting exposed like missing his man picking the wrong lane. uh not recognizing the play and overcommitting in certain areas and that leaves Stolley kind of out to dry which I think he was a little more insulated last year. I think that the D can get back to playing that without question. They’re down tanv and it’s it’s just like you say he’s making these big saves that we’re used to but we’re used to m seeing him make all of them you know where it’s just like man you you can’t beat this guy and all of a sudden you just start to rely on that as being um the status quo but very hard to play at that level all the And there’s a couple of couple of goals here and there where you’re like, man, we’re kind of used to seeing Stolley, you know, turn that aside, but again, I’m not worried about it. It’s it’s uh I think that his ceiling is obviously higher. We know that it is, and I would not be surprised if if he just gets hot again here in November and and gets back to his old self playing at right at the top of the league with uh with his save percentage and his play. I think he’s got the right composition for this market, but I think it’s going to be a trying season just because of what he came off of last year where he was impeccable and a lot of people had his name in in a Vzna type conversation. He was that good. Where it’s like this year it feels like Leafs Nation is looking for somebody to to [ __ ] at because you know who’s gone and they got to find a whipping boy and it’s got to be somebody like and this has been an age-old conversation with this market about goalending. You could have Kerry Price in this team. People will find a way to [ __ ] about goalending. Maybe play better defensively in front of this guy. Like I’m watching these games again. We’re very very early on. We’ve seen this act before from the Maple Leafs, but they’re not playing hockey in front of him. And that’s where it starts for me. Not not to, you know, comment too much because I think there’s a couple he’d want to have back. The Farbe won last night, but like defensively watching it’s like holy crap what’s happening right now. Concerning, man. Yeah. and you um I don’t I think that last year while playing really good like Joseph Wool when he comes back I think that’s going to help him. Um he’s been you know they’ve been going out of their way to play him more than he’s used to. Um everyone’s knock on him is that he’s been a career backup. Um and he’s only played you know last year 40 did he play 40 or something last year was his career high. I think when Joseph comes back and it’s, you know, the weight of the world isn’t on your shoulders, I think he’ll have more success. They switch hit it and ham and egg it and it’s uh I think it’s a lot better scenario for him with his past and and how much he’s played to to kind of share the crease with Wool. I think you’ll see his best come out when that happens. Um at the same time, do not start to get on the goalies Leafs nation. Do not I mean how many goalenders that are supposed to be studs have been destroyed by this market? Uh just because you know who’s gone doesn’t mean that you need a new whipping boy and it sure as hell shouldn’t be your goalie or last line of defense that game. That position is very mental. It’s very difficult. You are put on a pedestal and I I do not want to see a theme of people starting to rip on the turn Maple Leafs goenders. There is nowhere for that to go but down. So uh hopefully that is not a pattern. I I believe in Stolie very much and and think he’s still continuing going to be great for us. Tell you what, Rosie, they a couple weeks back a friend told me it’s an everyday league and we’re talking a lot about this Calgary game. You got to move on to Columbus. So, back to back as you bring in Leaf’s team host. It is Ryan Lesley. Uh fresh off the bird last night in his suite now in Columbus getting set for this one tonight. How are you, bud? Everyday just grinding, boys. Grinding. It’s hard. No, it’s great. Everything’s good. How you guys doing? I’d like to ham up a little bit. How was that flight last night? What are you a cop? Want to know Jay’s reaction. Talk about the blue. I don’t care about the caviar you had on the plane. Okay. Oh, okay. No. Um, it was good. You know, everybody was locked into obviously the win and then you go right to the to the plane and uh the focus was on uh was on the Blue Jays and rightly so. Everybody was kind of watching and you know kind of hanging on every pitch. So, it was great. It was it was cool. It was a quick easy fight. Good to go. And now the focus uh uh shifted somewhere last night and today to the Columbus Blue Jackets and uh here we go. We’ll see uh what kind of effort you get back to back. It’s kind of been a weird schedule for everybody as everybody knows. Uh condensed and then you throw in the Blue Jays side of things. Uh you you talk about games moving up and uh and now a backtoback scenario. So um yeah, just a twoame road trip, but a couple of days in Philly. I think this group uh you know I think any group needs to get on the road and I defer to your co-host who would know far better than me but it’s just great about uh you know these guys having some time together get on the road have a chance to bond because been a lot of home games. Nothing wrong with it but they need a little time together. Yeah, for sure. It’ll be good to see what this team uh can do on the road and I mean maybe they’re a road team. You see good teams have kind of lopsided records even with being at home and on the road, but uh we’ll see what they can do with a little quick roadie here. I wanted to to talk to you, you know, we we interviewed you before like right when you got to Toronto before the season had started. You said you had some ideas to do some things differently and I’ve saw all kinds of unique interviews, different places, different ways of doing it. You’re on the plane and walking in and all kinds of things. It’s been awesome and I think fans really appreciate it. Um, what else do you got up your sleeve and and has it been uh a fun adjustment getting into Toronto? Yeah, it’s been a lot of fun. Um, it’s a great city as everybody knows. Uh, I’m from southern Ontario so that’s kind of cool. I get a chance to uh, you know, get up to speed with what’s going on in the city around the team uh, other media, that kind of thing. Um, but uh, yeah, just different ideas. I think uh you know we’ve got to we’re just trying to crank out some content that I think you know kind of what we said before just bing back a little bit but as far as ideas we you know really trying to grow this pregame show. Um what it looks like today may not look like what it looks like in a month or two or four. So we’ll see what it looks like as it goes. It’s kind of uh evolving on a daily basis. But we’ve been thrilled with the guests who have been able to pop by from you know co-host and a guy like Brad May. We’ve had some big names, some fun names, some um people who, you know, have been involved in the game or around the game for a long time. So, want to kind of continue to grow that. We’ll see there. We may talk about a podcast. We have talked about it. We’ll see if it uh ever gets off the ground cuz I know those are so new and nobody has them right now. Um but uh yeah, we’re just trying uh trying on a daily basis to recognize, you know, what the team’s going through, what the players are going through, uh what the fans want, but also manage that delicate balance of when, um the right time is to do it. So, uh these guys get pulled in a lot of different directions, so I’m trying not to bug them too much. Tell you what, I love you, so I’m biased, but the heist of the century, Nick Wu, and Ryan Lesley from Mitch Mner, I’ll take that every day, man. It’s been it’s been a great addition. Um, was there money on the board last night? The Ryan Lesley revenge game. Calgary in town. Yeah, there may have been a little uh money on the board last night or at least we talked about it, but I don’t know if I ever got off my wallet, but it was uh it was a game that uh man, I’ll be honest, uh you know, being around one team for as long as I was and knowing the caliber of the character uh inside both rooms, but certainly a neat uh opportunity to visit with some uh some of the men on the Flame side. That was great. It was uh it was good to see some of those familiar faces who have been around a long time. So, um that was very cool, but uh it was it was a good outcome the way it all played out. You know, keep it close, have Toronto win, and everybody goes, at least on this end, goes home happy. And uh I got a chance to visit with uh some some really good people in the game. And I think we can all speak to that’s what it’s about. Like obviously, you want your if you’re a fan, you want your team to win. If you’re somebody who’s working around it, um you want good stories. Uh uh if you’re somebody who used to play, you want to catch up. If and in my case, it was a little combination of I got to see some familiar faces. Um which was good. And uh and it was a it was a special day and uh it was a it was a fun night and the game had some moments too. So it uh it was a great one all around. Lots of good people in the game, no question. One of them being a friend of the show, Matthew Nis, who popped off last night and was a a monster part of that win, obviously. Uh what’s it like being around him being only 22 years old? Do you lose sight of that sometime? And how does he carry himself around uh around the room behind the scenes? Yeah, I think that’s a good way of putting it. Sometimes you forget that he’s that age, but he’s a beast. He was a horse last night and and uh you know, he it’s it’s funny. There was a moment where he got the penalty of memory serves and then Lombberg had a word with him and you could just see the size difference that kind of thing. Uh it was um a great game for that young man and uh being around him is good. He conducts himself very professionally. I mean you think about who he gets a chance to sort of learn from in that front and you know he’s doing it. Um it’s it’s great to be around uh a lot of these guys and get a chance to see them. It’s, you know, road trips are good for me too cuz you get to see them um more and in a different light. So happy about that. Um but the guys have been uh have been sensational. And as far as Matthew N is concerned, yeah, he just carries himself like he’s been here a long time and um you guys know him. He’s been on your show and and to be around him on a regular basis. Sometimes Nick shows up too, which is kind of cool if he’s at the rink. Um so Nick’s sometimes around him as well. And uh it’s uh it’s just a young man who I am excited to see his you know trajectory if you will. Yeah. They call me a scrum lurker. Sometimes you’ll see me, sometimes you won’t. Uh I wanted to ask you about John Tavvar’s uh inching closer to 500. Of course need just one more. What’s he What’s it like to be around JT very very stoic like I covered him way back in junior hockey when he had a cup of tea with the London Knights to finish things off. But man he from one day to another you just can’t tell with that guy. like he’s a consmate pro. Just goes about his job, eh? Yeah, it’s impressive. Like you I mean, everybody’s heard the stories, but they continue to trickle out and it’s neat to see and hear uh his teammates talk about sort of things that they take from his grabag of uh how it should be done and they apply it to their own game. Nick Roberts and you know a lot of pe you know we could go up and down the lineup that guys have said that they you know Morgan Riley and others who have said yeah I kind of use this portion be it nutrition be it fitness be it the discipline be it um you know hydration uh game prep whatever it is he is the standard and I think there’s you know I asked a couple of the guys like is this something that you ever chirp them on is you guys have some fun with them on this and they’re like oh it works so you can’t really say too much about it. But, um, you know, it’s it’s really fascinating to watch him go about his business. Again, I I don’t pretend to know him, but I can say in being around him that, uh, the effect he has on so many and the way he, as you say, carries himself. He’s a consmate pro, pardon me. He uh, and, you know, thoughtful in his dialogue when he’s conversing with media. Um, he’s not giving you cliches. He’s he is somebody that uh you watch and and you just kind of go that’s that’s a that’s the standard of how I think a lot of people would want to carry themselves. So it’s it’s great and you hope he gets this thing and uh and you know it’s coming and uh what kind of a celebration it would be like that. Now that’s one where you know if and when he gets it uh you know we might try and do some things with him on that. So, um I think everybody’s waiting and the the teammates are certainly looking for him. Consate professional, no doubt. Um you know, uh last week we got the news that Joseph Wall’s back. Um fantastic news for anyone who cares about this team whatsoever. Was there a palpable buzz and I’m sure the boys around the room and everything else were pretty excited to have that guy back in the room. Yeah, you get the sense of what he means to this team. And again, me being so new to it, I haven’t had a chance to really experience it. But, um, you know, in listening to his teammates talk and and and speak so highly about him, um, and you know, the workload for a guy like Stard, uh, you know, it’s it’s been a lot on him. Um, and I think Leaf’s fans have seen the power of having that tandem. First of all, you just are are thankful that he’s in a better place. He’s back and um now you get a sense that uh he’s going to ramp up and and kind of get there. I I have no idea on the specifics of a timeline, but from what we’ve been hearing, it’s uh maybe a couple of weeks. We’ll see. Uh you know, he’s been skating a couple of weeks, so maybe we’ll see just how long it takes for him to get to where he and others feel he’s ready uh to join the big group on in a game situation. So, um, time will tell, but it’s a huge ad. The Stallars, I think, um, has been has been solid. And, uh, now to to be able to go back to what everybody knows, and that is the tandem of the two of them, it’s great. It’s great. And Kaden Primo has been, uh, has been, you know, solid in his couple of starts. So, um, they’ve held the fort. Goalending has uh, has not been an issue. So, um I think getting Joseph back it will be a massive boost and and you can hear it already. Uh you’re finding out early the magnitude of this market. It’s October, but man, week after week and day after day, the sky’s falling in this market. What’s it been like behind the scenes in terms of an urgency level? Maybe even the last couple days, couple weeks here. Well, I think everybody’s seen it and it’s no secret that it just doesn’t seem as though they found their rhythm to a degree. It looks as though they’re trending that way right now. The last few games they felt pretty good about it, but uh you know at times I think they would say that it’s been a bit flat. They have talked about it. They didn’t like their second period save for last night. Um you know there’s been some inconsistencies with um you know line juggling, that type of thing. Everybody trying to get up to speed together individually, what have you. Um, so you know, I think what people on the outside are seeing and feeling that’s that’s as transparent on the inside as well. So it’s not like, oh no, there’s a completely different opinion on on what’s been happening. It’s a group that’s very aware, be it management or players themselves. They’ve been honest about their play and admit and I don’t think it’s that abnormal that we’ve seen October’s necessarily a little flat. I think you’ve seen that in Toronto uh in the past, in the recent past. So, um nobody’s happy with the fact that uh they’re continuing to find their game, but I also think that uh they’re very aware of what they have here and it’s just a matter of getting it going and it looks as though they’re direction. I’m just curious, Ryan, last from me if uh you’ve got a chance to be around the the team a little bit now. Obviously, the big dogs get a lot of the spotlight, but is there someone on the roster that uh that has impressed you that you don’t think gives gets enough credit? That’s a good question. Somebody asked me that the other day. I or maybe it was just yesterday, but I I don’t know about that. That’s a that’s a really tricky one because I don’t know as though anybody would come to you and say, you know, they wouldn’t necessarily say that they’re 100% on board with their game, you know, character-wise, a lot of guys, but impressed me with their play. There’s, you know, you get a chance to see the big dogs up close and personal, you just see how dangerous they are. But I’ll say Max Doi. Um you know the other day um Chief said uh you know his game when asked about it about Max’s been up and down. I I don’t think that’s a crazy assessment. Max just took that and ran with it. And boy that shot you know I think I’m probably new to that in person in that um we’d heard that he wants Max to shoot more and uh he did and it’s a laser. like it’s unbelievable when he gets that thing off. Um, so that has been impressive and the way he carries himself. I I really like that guy. You know, I’ve been around him in other stops and uh just to see what he’s capable of and knowing that uh he can kind of do that. Um so many good people in the room that have impressed me. I could go up and down the list, but uh I love seeing him get a shot away and get rewarded. Um, I want to see I I think it’s coming more with Matthew N. That’s one player I’m very excited to watch uh develop and grow from a young man to uh to a veteran over the next little while. Um, but yeah, just to see the way some of the bigger names carry themselves on and off the ice has been great. You love the way you see those role playing guys, those depth guys. I can’t wait to see what Scotty Lton brings cuz I just think the world of that guy. um he’s just a character on and off the ice and he’s chomping at the bit. So, um yeah, a lot of guys for a lot of different reasons, but uh yeah, you’re just uh hoping that everybody finds their game here right away. Um because uh it’s it’s going to get uh the schedule’s uh not an easy one. What are you, uh hearing on lot just to wrap? Uh there’s a pretty big game in his career coming up on Saturday. Any any shot he’s in Philly to play that game? Yeah, I don’t know. Uh he is uh the good news is he doesn’t have the boot on. That’s not I don’t think giving away any secrets there. He’s on the ice and good to go. And as far as that is concerned, uh he is skating um which is so great. Um I think he’s in a really good place mentally about a return. And now I think it just uh remains to be seen when it becomes official. But obviously going into Philly on Saturday would be a big one. Uh, I think Chief had hinted that he may be, you know, I don’t know if he’d be an option, but certainly with the group skating and that type of thing, you wonder about a regular practice. So, uh, time will tell, but that’s a big ad and a guy who’s who, uh, you know, is just so ready to get back into it’ be great if he can get back in Philly, but, uh, certainly don’t know about that one yet. We shall see. Everyday league, man. Enjoy the game tonight in Columbus. Okay. Every day. Good to see you. Thanks, Ryan. There’s Ryan Lesley, Maple Leaf’s team host, getting set for this one in Columbus. The backto back. Rosie, we get into the preview and I submitted to this to the group chat last night. The Leafs has surrendered five goals or more in four of their past six outings against Columbus. Does that concern you? It won’t because you hate the past and you think about the future. I was I was thinking when I read that, I’m like, I always poo poo a different team. That doesn’t matter. But uh doing this show there are trends. There are trends um that seem to happen. You know, one being them being slow in October. You know, the the the team that started that trend wasn’t the same team that this one is, but it’s continues to be a trend. Um I hope it doesn’t continue. I hope that they’re prepared. You know, I I don’t know if the Flames scared them last night or if they were kind of like wideeyed saying, “Geez, we damn near lost to the Flames,” you know, but um whatever it is, I hope that they’re prepared and ready to rock against Columbus tonight. And uh again, it’s the NHL. If you don’t come prepared or you take somebody lightly, you will pay. And I think that these guys know that. So, I hope the trend of them having five, six buried on them, uh does not continue on tonight. But uh Primo in I believe and I I hope he’s kicking. I hate that Columbus Cam Cannon says official Nickel City grunge. Appreciate that here in the group chat um at the Leafs Nation 401. And you know I was watching these special 7-hour edition of Morning Cup of Hockey today. And they’re on the Blue Jackets money line. So maybe that’s the hockey world’s all eyes on the Maple Leaf Jackets tonight after 16 games yesterday. Just one in the National League tonight. I wouldn’t put too much stock into it. the the Leafs line is usually pretty juiced like uh like it always reminds me of betting on Tiger Woods. You love for the guy to win. At least I did. And it’s just no point betting on him because so many people do. Vegas protects themselves from such a thing. And similar with the market of the Maple Leafs. The numbers are a little bit skewed. So, I’m sure they’re just jumping on some overpump plus money, but I’m not betting on that. I’ll tell you, I’m not going to trail those morning cup of donkeys. They uh I got belief in the Leafs tonight. Kade Primo expected to make his third start of the season. I know I’ve had a lot of questions in my DMs too about Joseph Wall and we just talked to Ryan Lesley. It sounds like he’s still about two weeks away, but it’ll be a welcome sight, but I have to credit Kaden Primo. That’s a really difficult job. You enter that room, they lose a, you know, a big beloved teammate who’s been here for a while and important to this team and you step in there, you win two games. Um, says a lot about the character of of Kaden Primo. 3.46 uh uh GA 875 save percentage. I expect a back and forth type game in this one, but just be ready to play. And I think the underlying story too with all the trade talk surrounding Nick Robertson, a guy he could easily go one for one with and that’s Igor Chinoikov on the other side. And I know Zack Phillips is playing the anytime goal for both those guys in this game. But if you want to watch a guy closely, watch Chinov on the other side. I believe he wears number 59. Maybe a note to Tyler Bertusi or something. But um he could be a Maple Leaf at some point in time here. That’s a fair one for one that can come to fruition. I know we talked a lot about Lucas Reichel, but have an eye on on Chinov tonight. Yeah, that was my plan when uh when I was looking at the game is to take a look at this guy. I can’t say I sit down and watch a whole lot of Columbus Blue Jackets hockey. So, get an idea of what he’s like, what he plays like. I usually pick your brain for that stuff, but um that’s one thing for sure. And yeah, Kaden Primo, by all accounts, guys welcomed him with open arms. every one of those belt pictures, they for some reason sit on down beside Primo and take the picture, which is kind of cool. And everyone’s got big smiles on their faces after wins, obviously. So, uh, looking for him to, you know, who knows what the runway is for him, you know, with Joseph W coming back, as we mentioned, might be sooner than later that, uh, that Primo’s days are numbered with this club. So, I’m sure he’s looking to end on a high note and build his resume as high as he can before that hammer inevitably drops, but uh I hope he’s got his best stuff tonight. I would just love to see Sammy Blade play hockey one day. Um he took the skate yesterday and Neander’s like, “You know what? Take your equipment off, go have a shower. You’re not playing tonight.” And he wears number 79 and I want to see it. I don’t think Alif has ever worn the number 79. So maybe maybe tonight’s the night for Sammy Bl. Maybe tonight’s the night for Sammy Bl. Well, I’m sure the roster will be dropping soon. I kind of doubt it after a W and Healthy Bodies, but um I’m sure he’s chomping at the bit. I thought last night might be a night where we got to see him no go, but again uh as Ryan Leslie said, I think that these guys are trending in the right direction. Some of the line combinations from last night, um they have been blending those up, trying to find something. Looks like um we’re starting to see some solidarity in the lineup and some guys that uh are doing the right stuff together. So I think that’s a positive note as well. Man, this roller coaster Matias Michelli is is uh fascinating. Uh played 11:47 last night and then I tune in late in the game and Max Stoi is in the top six and Michelli I don’t know where he was stapled to a bench somewhere at Scotia Bank Arena.

Check out the link in the episode description or go to sharkninja.ca. You ready for this hot take of the week via producer Vic? Let’s see this spicy hot take. How and ridiculous is it this week? It’s not that bad. The Maple Leafs should make a move for Steven Stamco. He have one goal and one assist in 11 outings so far here with the Nashville Predators. It has not been a good fit for Stamos in Nashville. It’s got two years left at eight sheets per season. Yes. Uh a lot of things with that Nashville team that was supposed to be hot as could be is not that at all. Um Stammer, amazing player, tons of experience, leadership qualities, clutch qualities, toughness qualities. Um, but personally, man, uh, 36 years old he is already, man, it feels like he just got drafted. Um, and the price tag he comes with, I know they have cap space, but I just, if you picture it happening and he comes here and then he’s playing and it’s kind of like it’s I could just see it not going well. And in order to get him, what are you giving up the cap crunch he’s going to take? I think it’s uh I think it’s too spicy of a take for me, my man. I’m gonna pass, too. Um I I like the idea of bringing in a guy like that with experience, has won a couple Stanley Cups, can score some big-time goals from you, but I I don’t know what he is at this point in his career. And I I’m curious to see like how they attack the trade deadline, whether it’s trying to find a fit and a role for somebody with Matthews and N or do they get a center? I’d probably be more inclined to get a center. I know John Tavvarz is off to a really good start, but the matchup game is so big in the Stanley Cup playoffs. And if you can find a 2C somehow some way, I probably go that direction where at this point in Stamos’s career, um, never known for his speed, more of a, you know, second line, third line type player, at least in my opinion. And I think that’s too rich of a contract. So, I’m going to say no, but I think it’s a pretty bold take. And I think producer Vic also hates Canadian Tire. not even a sponsor of this show, but he remembers back way back when when Stam Coast was a a pending free agent years ago and the Leafs presented him with an offer with Canadian Tire and Stamco said, “I’m packing my [ __ ] See you later.” And that was it for the Stam Stam Coast pipe dream in Toronto. Yeah, I know. I think he’s got a no trade clause. Uh like you said, he’s said no to Toronto before. Um by all accounts, people are pretty happy playing in Nashville. that I think it isn’t under I don’t even know if it’s undercover anymore, but um I think it’s a very desirable place to play with the no tax, the weather, um the people, community, what that town does. You’re also have some anonymity, but you got real good team support. There’s just a plethora of reasons to stay there. The only thing going wrong is the damn team is supposed to be a juggernaut and they’re just been terrible last year and haven’t had the best start this year. And personally, Stammer has just not been cutting it either. So, uh, too many things that have to go right there. And what do we got to get up to to have to have Nashville give him up? I just I just don’t see it. But, uh, fun to throw it around, no less. Yeah, I’m not really eager about the deadline this year. I I don’t know who’s going to be available and the Leafs don’t have assets. And if they make a couple tweaks along the way, I’m happy. I still believe a lot in this roster. I know some people are off the Leafs right now and are playing the draft simulator like Zack Phillips last night, but not to throw him under the bus. I know he’s watching right now, but I believe in this Maple Leaf team. I really do. And we’ll see what they have for Columbus tonight. I am scared about this game. Very, very scared about these Wednesday clashes in Columbus, man. All right, it’s time now for the last call brought to you by Bet 365. Whatever your bet is, it’s never ordinary at Bet 365.

Over over six and a half. I talked about the number earlier on. Uh, Leafs has surrendered five goals or more in four of their past six meetings with Columbus. It’s always a frantic, chaotic, crazy game. I’m going to play the over. And I’m going to play the Austin Matthews anytime goal. Remember that guy? He’s got five goals. The captain of the Toronto Maples had 17 shots on goal last night. He had six actually, including five in the first period. 15 goals in the past 15 games against the Columbus Blue Jackets for Austin Matthews. Oh, a little insider info. I like that. I think there is an example of a guy being due to bur one. Not that he hasn’t scored in a while, but I just feel like he’s uh it would be a night for him to pop off for sure. Um reasons to be worried, I guess. Their record against Columbus, the backtobacks, Kaden Primo being in. Um lots of things could go wrong, but I hope they got the right stuff. I’m going off uh the NHL board, going to the Jays game. I’m taking a simple money line here. Um, I hope they pick up right where they left off, just grinding away the hits and the hits and driving the runs in one at a time and and the Dodgers just can’t stop the bleeding. Again, you Savage could have a big night. Um, one thing that I don’t think gets enough credit because there’s so many things to talk about is the bullpen for the Jays. They come in and they do their job when they need to late in the game and just rattle off the innings and the outs. So, uh, hopefully that continues and big juicy money for the Jays money line tonight. If they win tonight, I think they’ve got the World Series. Okay, looking forward to that one. Game five of the World Series. Zack Phillips writes in. He calls this the I want to be on your team special. He’s playing Chinoikov Robertson anytime gold parlay. So, you can have a look at that. And Cory Parish 85 writes in, “Off topic, but Rosie, have you been by chance to the Grouchy Daddy’s restaurant in Olds? If so, is it worth the hike? I got family all around Olds, so I pass through regularly.” Ah, Grouchy Daddies. Uh, yeah, that’s a place to go for sure. I also like Flames restaurant. It’s been a staple in Olds for a long time. It’s just Kitty Corner on the main street there. So, uh yeah, anytime you’re in Olds, not known for the the plethora of restaurants, but the ones they got, I like them. We got reach. We got reach on this show. A lot of fans out in Alberta, of course. Rosie out in Alberta, and I can tell you a spot on on King Street West. That’s That’s about it. So, uh that’s all we got for you today. Uh thank you to Ryan Lesie for dropping by. Coming up tomorrow, we got Andy Petrillo from uh Amazon Prime and and that broadcast and got a new book out as well. So Andy’s going to drop by tomorrow. Right on. Yeah, she was a familiar face when I was in Toronto. She was on the beat and uh yeah, it’ll be good to pick her brain, see what she’s been seeing lately and ask about that Prime broadcast, which by all accounts has been a wild success. Yes, sir.

There you go again blaming Leaf Fans and this market. Play well and get praised. Play crappy and get crappy comments. Leafs control their own narrative. Ask the Blue Jays players about this market. Bueber says its an absolute pleasure to play here. You guys build your podcast on Leaf fan listenership and then bitch constantly about the market. The Blue Jays have proven the toxic market rhetotic is bull shit. Leaf fans are the best.
