Nick Kypreos, Justin Bourne & Sam McKee are back for an emergency episode after the Maple Leafs signed Auston Matthews to a 4-year contract extension worth $13.25 million AAV! The guys give their immediate reaction and analysis on the signing, whether it was a good yearly figure for the term and how this changes the Leafs' approach in Nylander and Marner extension talks.The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the hosts and guests and do not necessarily reflect the position of Rogers Sports & Media or any affiliates.

We kick off the show with Amber and TJ Brodie who are working with A&W on “Burgers To Beat MS” Amber talks about what it's like to live with MS and TJ reflects on supporting his wife, the balance between personal life and the NHL and the couple also attended the Marner wedding this summer.

The boys are back in town! Binksy, Josh and Blake complete a 3-round mock draft for category leagues and they had a SUPER time. There was lots of analysis and discussions to be had and, as in every draft, there were a few surprises. We had beefers and fricken units galore! Make sure to stick around to the end for a legendary pick at 37th overall. Also, boys.... how many assists did Marner get last season? Let's get to BIZ!

On today's episode of Locked on Wild, we fast forward two years to when the Wild will gain a majority of the Zach Parise/Ryan Suter cap hits back to determine who they may spend that money on. We look at where the roster will be by that point and how much money they will have tied up to existing contracts. We look at the possibility that any of Mikko Rantanen, Leon Draisaitl and Mitch Marner even reach free agency, with more of a likelihood that Marner and Draisaitl do given the current state of their teams and their many playoff failings. We look at the pros and cons for each player as well as their regular season and postseason stats. We finish by trying to note differences between this and the moment in Wild history that Parise and Suter were originally signed.

In this week's episode, Jenaya discusses the Toronto Maple Leafs' & Edmonton Oilers' unflattering exits from the Stanley Cup Playoffs, including why Leafs fans' hopeful comparisons of their Leafs to the pre-Cup Ovechkin-era Washington Capitals are wishful thinking on their part at best.

Plus, they take a look at the surprising comments from Kyle Dubas regarding his future as General Manager, and his willingness to move on from some of the core four of Tavares, Matthews, Marner and Nylander.

Sam Reinhart scored the goal for Florida, which got 23 saves from Sergei Bobrovsky. The Panthers still lead the series 3-1, with Game 5 in Toronto on Friday night.

RJ Barrett added 26 points and Julius Randle had 24 for the fifth-seeded Knicks, who stayed alive in hopes of reaching the conference finals for the first time since 2000. They did that by getting by the Heat in seven games in the second round, a possibility that still exists.

He’ll use a fifth year of eligibility because of the COVID-19 pandemic to finish his college career closer to his hometown of Newport Beach. Bronny James announced on social media last weekend that he will play at USC. His father, LeBron James, stars for the Los Angeles Lakers. NCAAMBB – Huggins agrees to pay cut, suspension for homophobic slur West Virginia basketball coach Bob Huggins has agreed to a three-game suspension and a $1 million pay cut after he used a homophobic slur during a radio show. The agreement allows Huggins to keep his job as the school’s basketball coach, but the blunder will leave a lasting mark on his Hall of Fame career. During a call to a Cincinnati radio station Monday, Huggins was asked whether he had a chance of landing an Xavier player from the transfer portal. Huggins then made offensive comments about Xavier fans. He later apologized. Huggins will also be required to meet with LGBTQ+ leaders as part of the agreement. NCAAFB – Smart says declining invitation for White House visit was not political Georgia coach Kirby Smart insists there was no political motivation behind the decision for his national championship football team to decline an invitation to visit the White House in June. Instead, Smart says scheduling issues, including a youth camp in June at the Georgia football facility, made it impossible for the Bulldogs to accept the invitation to attend a June 12 event with other college teams at the White House. The event is described by President Joe Biden and first lady Jill Biden as “College Athlete Day.” Smart told the Athens Banner-Herald “Timeline-wise it didn’t work.” Golf – PGA Championship has 99 of top 100 in the field for Oak Hill, no Sergio Garcia The PGA Championship always tries to get the strongest field in the majors. This year is no exception. The field next week for Oak Hill just outside Rochester, New York, features 99 of the top 100 in the world ranking. Missing is Will Zalatoris, who is out for the rest of the season after back surgery. The field features 18 players who play for Saudi-backed LIV Golf. One player missing from the 155-player list is Sergio Garcia. He is No. 189 in the world. LIV Golf does not get ranking points. This will be the first time Garcia is ineligible for a major since 1999. NFL – Ex-Raider Ruggs pleads guilty to driving drunk at 156 mph, causing fatal crash Former Las Vegas Raiders player Henry Ruggs has admitted he drove drunk at up to 156 mph before causing a fiery crash that killed a woman in November 2021. The 24-year-old former first-round NFL draft pick avoided trial with a plea deal on Wednesday that is expected to result in a sentence of three to 10 years in state prison. Prosecutors dropped other charges, on which Ruggs might have faced up to 50 years behind bars. The former Alabama Crimson Tide player was dropped by the Raiders shortly after the crash. Family members of the woman who died declined to comment following Ruggs’ plea. He remains free pending sentencing Aug. 9.

Leafs' top gun were able to get on the score sheet(Nylander on PP and Marner) after going scoreless the first 3 games. The guys give their 3 Duds of the game and discuss their worry meter as the Cats will now play a Game 5 on Friday night in Toronto.

NCAAFB – Smart says declining invitation for White House visit was not political Georgia coach Kirby Smart insists there was no political motivation behind the decision for his national championship football team to decline an invitation to visit the White House in June. Instead, Smart says scheduling issues, including a youth camp in June at the Georgia football facility, made it impossible for the Bulldogs to accept the invitation to attend a June 12 event with other college teams at the White House. The event is described by President Joe Biden and first lady Jill Biden as “College Athlete Day.” Smart told the Athens Banner-Herald “Timeline-wise it didn’t work.” Golf – PGA Championship has 99 of top 100 in the field for Oak Hill, no Sergio Garcia The PGA Championship always tries to get the strongest field in the majors.

One player missing from the 155-player list is Sergio Garcia. He is No. 189 in the world. LIV Golf does not get ranking points. This will be the first time Garcia is ineligible for a major since 1999. NFL – Ex-Raider Ruggs pleads guilty to driving drunk at 156 mph, causing fatal crash Former Las Vegas Raiders player Henry Ruggs has admitted he drove drunk at up to 156 mph before causing a fiery crash that killed a woman in November 2021. The 24-year-old former first-round NFL draft pick avoided trial with a plea deal on Wednesday that is expected to result in a sentence of three to 10 years in state prison. Prosecutors dropped other charges, on which Ruggs might have faced up to 50 years behind bars. The former Alabama Crimson Tide player was dropped by the Raiders shortly after the crash. Family members of the woman who died declined to comment following Ruggs’ plea. He remains free pending sentencing Aug. 9.

It took the Maple Leafs almost 20 years to get out of the first round of the playoffs only to be on the brink of being swept by the Florida Panthers.   No guest today as Bob and John put on their "Doomsday Prepper" hats and look into what on earth the Toronto Maple Leafs should do if they lose in the second round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs... Let alone get swept. We talk about the extended amount of time between playoff games and wonder if that has helped or hindered the Maple Leafs so far. We also get into some hypotheticals for the Leafs offseason - Out of Marner, Matthews, Nylander and Tavares - who do you keep? and who do you trade?    The two prep for all sorts of realities within the Maple Leaf Universe as the team tries to avoid losing 4 games in a row to the FLorida Panthers Wednesday night.

The Toronto Maple Leafs are on the brink of being swept out of the Second Round by the Florida Panthers on Wednesday Night after a dreadful performance in Game 3. Why do the Leafs core players continue to struggle in big moments? Do we see a scenario in which they can come back in this series? Could this be the last time we see this group of players together? We discuss all this and more! https://youtu.be/a84VdTmhO0s Follow us on tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@UCgnU5Tj0yJx0QN6IjYPwqLA Follow us on instagram: https://www.instagram.com/talkinbudsleafs/ Learn more about your ad choices.

The Toronto Maple Leafs lack of effort and lack of care showed last night and the pair of Matthews and Marner are mainly to blame. Leafs fans deserve better but won't get it out of this group.

Hour 1 to kick off a Monday on OverDrive with Bryan Hayes, Jeff O'Neill & Jamie McLennan as the guys get into the poor effort from the Leafs last night in their Game 3 loss to the Panthers. We touch on the blame sitting on Marner and Matthews, Samsonov's injury plus Mr. Game 7 himself Justin Williams joins the show for his perspective on coming back from 0-3 down versus the Sharks in 2014.

Jonas and James breakdown a disappointing game three overtime loss for the Maple Leafs in Florida on Sunday night which sees the blue and white on the brink of being swept out of the second round. The guys discuss the overall play of the 'core four' of Matthews, Marner, Nylander and Tavares who have failed to record a goal in this series, and who might just lack that extra gear to excel in the playoffs. Plus the boys talk about the injection of Justin Holl and Eric Gustafsson into the lineup, David Kampf and Sam Lafferty's positive play in game three, the injury to Ilya Samsonov, the performance of Joseph Woll in relief, and who of Woll, Samsonov or Matt Murray will start in game four on Wednesday night?

On Hour 2 of The FAN Morning Show, Ailish and Justin are joined by Anthony Petrielli, writer for Maple Leafs Hot Stove, to discuss his takeaways from the Leafs' Game 2 loss, Sergei Bobrovsky channeling his vintage Vezina form, Mitch Marner's underwhelming performance through two games, the Leafs' struggles with breakouts, and Sheldon Keefe's big decisions heading into Game 3. Later, we open the phone lines to gauge the pulse of Leafs Nation as the team faces an 0-2 deficit (29:36). The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the hosts and guests and do not necessarily reflect the position of Rogers Sports & Media or any affiliates.

The Toronto Maple Leafs look to avoid a 2-0 deficit as they get back on the ice to take on the Florida Panthers. Mike DiStefano and David Morassutti get you ready for the game but have to talk about the anti-Leafs fans that have gone viral wearing opposing team jerseys to every game they go to. Mike and Dave discuss Mitch Marner getting nominated for the Selke Trophy and the way it has shown the league the strides he has made as a defensive forward. With Game 2 being an important one, Mike and Dave look at the adjustments the Leafs could look to make to the lineup including whether Marner and Auston Matthews should be split up and if the Leafs should consider going with seven defencemen in order to lessen the load on Mark Giordano. To end the show, Mike and Dave provide their three keys to victory. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!
