It's June and the Stanley Cup Final is just getting going.  It's a repeat of last year's final with the Edmonton Oilers and Florida Panthers facing off for the Cup.   While Connor McDavid is chasing the Stanley Cup in this repeat Final showdown, Leafs Nation is left wondering once again what's missing in Toronto — and why it always seems just out of reach. In this episode, we start the show by discussing the glaring contrast between McDavid's relentless push to win and the Leafs' troubling comfort with early playoff exits. Brad Treliving's recent press conference didn't pull any punches, calling for a serious shift in the team's DNA — and that message may finally shake things up. Then we welcomed to the show Lance Hornby of the Toronto Sun, who shared his unique insights into Auston Matthews' first year as captain, marked by leadership pressure and lingering injuries, and we also discuss why the departure of long-time figures behind the bench and in the front office might finally put the spotlight — and accountability — squarely back on the players. With free agency around the corner and Mitch Marner's future up in the air, change feels inevitable. But it's not just about the roster — it's about culture. We explore how the Leafs can build a stronger playoff mindset during the regular season and why fans are craving more access to the real personalities behind the jerseys. If you're ready to move beyond excuses and dig into what it'll actually take for the Leafs to become a serious contender, this one's for you. Go Leafs Go!
