New season, same heartbreak. In this episode, we break down the Leafs' Game 7 loss and what went wrong in their series with the Panthers, after the disappointing end to their latest rollercoaster playoff run. From a lack of urgency and low shot totals to another rough start that set the tone early, the frustration is real — and Leafs Fans are feeling it! While the players definitely bear the brunt of this, we also take a hard look at some of the coaching decisions, especially around player lineups, and how injuries once again played a major role in derailing playoff hopes. The outside noise from critics and media is only growing louder, and with expectations still sky-high (and rightfully so), many in Leafs Nation are left asking: Where do we go from here? The conversation gets real as we talk about what needs to change this offseason We also dive into the emotional connection fans have with this team, why the disappointment cuts so deep, and why, despite it all, the love for the Blue and White never fades. If you're frustrated, heartbroken, or just trying to make sense of it all — this one's for you. Go Leafs Go!
