Zack Phillips & Jay Rosehill break down a much-needed sigh of relief in Leafs Nation. Toronto snapped its five-game winless skid with a gritty 3-2 overtime win over St. Louis, capped off by William Nylander's heroics. With seven regulars out of the lineup, the depleted Leafs leaned on a strong 28-save performance from Joseph Woll.The boys also dive into the Matthew Knies injury, what it means for the group moving forward, and just how concerned fans should be.

TSN Hockey Analyst Mike Johnson joined OverDrive to discuss the headlines around the Maple Leafs' losing streak, Brad Treliving calling the team 'vanilla' for their game, who the issues fall on, William Nylander needing to bring more, the Oilers' goaltending status and more.

Game 20 is here as the Toronto Maple Leafs face the St. Louis Blues, and tonight feels as close to a must-win as it gets. With Auston Matthews, Brandon Carlo, Chris Tanev, Anthony Stolarz, and Nic Roy all out, the Leafs enter this matchup battered and searching for answers. Brad Treliving's quarter-season address added fuel to the fire — calling the team “too much vanilla,” refusing to trade their way out of the slump, and doubling down on Craig Berube. We break down what Treliving really meant, why the Leafs' stars like William Nylander need more urgency, and how young players like Easton Cowan and Jacob Quillan could inject life into a dead lineup. From line combinations to defensive breakdowns, energy issues, matchup keys, and tonight's two best bets, we cover everything you need heading into Leafs vs. Blues.

The guys discuss the Maple Leafs' losing streak, the team's defeats in five consecutive games, the impactful injuries on the roster in Toronto, the team playing without Mitch Marner and William Nylander's cold skid, how the Maple Leafs could turn the corner and if a revamp is in the cards for the organization.

Then, they discuss whether the Leafs should take drastic action — be it a coaching shake-up or a trade — to attempt to salvage the season. Later, they look at the defensive lines at practice with Troy Stecher drawing in for Philippe Myers and Brandon Carlo being moved to the IR, and they chat about William Nylander's quiet last couple of games after being called out in practice by Craig Berube.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 have now dropped five straight, and Zack Phillips goes live on Leafs Nation After Dark to break down a truly alarming Game 19 collapse in Chicago.

He also breaks down Joseph Woll's season debut, Easton Cowan's bright moments, Nick Robertson's goal, the team's inability to defend the middle of the ice, and how the Leafs repeatedly let Chicago dictate the final 20 minutes.From effort level to system confusion to a total collapse in identity, this episode digs into all of it — plus your super chats, your calls, and your real-time reactions.

Gregor and Rupp start off the show with a look ahead to a weekend packed with sports. The Colorado Avalanche may not be running away with the Central quite so easily. The Dallas Stars have been on a tear lately and just demolished the Atlantic-leading Canadiens 7–0. The guys talk about Jason Robertson heating up, Wyatt Johnston's power-play prowess, and the anticipation surrounding a Jamie Benn return.Next, we head to the West Coast to discuss the resurgence of the LA Kings. A team many predicted to contend atop the Pacific struggled out of the gates but has now found its footing, surging up the standings to sit second in the division. The guys dive into their defensive acumen and a promising offensive spark.Later, we look at the struggling Maple Leafs, who dropped another game last night—this one in overtime to the Kings—dropping Toronto to a .500 points percentage. People can point to the injury bug, but this team has been extremely poor defensively this season, with a league-worst goals-against per game. Gregor and Rupp break down a quote from William Nylander about the Leafs' early-season struggles.After a torrid start to the season, it looks like the Montréal Canadiens are coming back down to earth. The goaltending tandem of Sam Montembeault and Jakob Dobês has faltered recently, with both goalies struggling to keep the puck out of the net.Nashville is the team everyone is watching when it comes to a potential big early-season move. Will it be a coaching change, a veteran being shipped out, or something shocking—like moving on from Juuse Saros? Will the Predators regret going the veteran route instead of committing to a rebuild like Chicago, Anaheim, and San Jose?Home ice used to be a fortress for the Vegas Golden Knights, but over their latest home stretch they've collected only four points out of a possible 12. Can they turn it around as they play five of their next six on the road?Later, Pat joins the show for “Fill in the Blanks” with questions such as:Who can challenge Joel Quenneville for the Jack Adams Award?Will anyone challenge Connor Hellebuyck's Vezina reign?Which franchise deserves Gavin McKenna?After that, the guys discuss Gavin McKenna's start at Penn State before wrapping up the show with a little Grey Cup talk ahead of the big game in the CFL this weekend.Want to hear more from Jason and the entire DFO team?

Nick Kypreos, Justin Bourne and Sam McKee share their expectations for the Leafs' game against the L.A. Kings without Auston Matthews, who is sidelined with an injury, how Matthews could be weighing his options to participate in the 2026 Winter Olympics in a similar situation towards last year's Four Nations Face-Off, William Nylander's thoughts on if it is harder to score goals versus playing defence, reaction to the front office and David Kämpf agreeing to terminate their contract together and what could be next for him, and why a trade for Flames' defenceman Rasmus Andersson wouldn't work. Then, Kings' President Luc Robitaille joins the guys (31:41) to chat about Anže Kopitar's longevity and future in the NHL, Corey Perry's contributions to the Kings' offence, contract talks with Adrian Kempe, and Quinton Byfield's development.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.

After another clunky performance, the Toronto Maple Leafs find themselves facing more questions than answers.

The Panthers are silencing doubters with a hot start despite key injuries to Barkov and Tkachuk. Nathan MacKinnon is near the top of the scoring race, thriving alongside Martin Nečas as Colorado expects important clashes with Dallas throughout the year... and faces looming cap questions with Cale Makar’s next deal. Newly paid stars like Eichel, Kaprizov, and Connor are backing up their contracts with strong starts, and Team USA is shaping up to be a powerhouse for the Olympics. In Montreal, Lane Hutson’s eight-year extension locks in another key piece of the Habs’ young core, while Buffalo languishes again at the bottom, leaving players like Dahlin and Tuch frustrated in a team without identity. Detroit, meanwhile, looks poised for a breakout behind its youthful lineup, and in Toronto, Craig Berube is calling for more consistency from William Nylander, drawing Ray’s comparison to the enigmatic Alex Kovalev.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

2 Days before the season was to start for him, Connor McDavid gave the Oilers the best news possible by signing a 2 year extension at the same pay that he has been getting for the past 8 years.  It's huge news for the Oilers and their fans.

NHL Media+1 Of note: no Florida Panthers players were suspended or fined in relation to this game, at least according to public announcements Connections:  Last week William Nylander, David Pastrnak, Patrick Kane, Andrei Vasilevskii - correct answers - Paul Stewart, David Huyben, Jim Stecker This week: Ed Belfour, Dino Ciccarelli, Adam Oates, Marty St. Louis

Elliotte Friedman has suggested twice in the past week that the Kirill Kaprizov contract situation makes him believe that there is tampering going on. Will the NHL do anything about it? Can they? It's been a tough month for hall of fame goalies as Bernie Parent and Ed Giacomin passed away last week.  All this plus we look to the upcoming season and what we might expect with some off the wall predictions.   Listen Here:  Apple Podcasts   Direct MP3   iHeart Radio Title Player Dallas Drake Shoutout - Nathaniel from Edmonton -been listening Sending stickers News  Kirill Kaprizov - turned down 8 x $16,000,000  Friedman: ON 32 thoughts said his take was that since it didn't get accepted, Kaprizov's camp must believe they have an offer higher elsewhere.  He then said on The Fan Hockey Show - “I do believe there has been tampering going on. I'll never be able to prove it, but I believe it.”  Will this be the case where the NHL finally gets to drop the hammer on teams.   Who is it?  Oilers McDavid - waiting for Kaprizov to sign largest deal?  Friedman says he thinks when McDavid signs, we will be very surprised at how low it will be Zack Hyman - will be out for a month at least recovering from wrist surgery    Key Departures / Losses Player Role / Impact What the Oilers Lose Evander Kane Big, physical winger; provided playoff grit; scored some clutch goals in their run. New York Post+3ESPN.com+3NHL+3 Loss of experience, net-front presence, and some scoring ability on the wing. Cap space freed up. Puckpedia+1 John Klingberg Veteran defenseman, could move the puck and helped on power plays. Daily Faceoff+1 Leaves a gap in puck-moving defense; need someone to replace his skill set. Daily Faceoff Corey Perry Veteran winger, presence in locker room; some scoring and depth contributions. ESPN.com+1 Less veteran depth up front; more need for younger players or middle-6 to step up. FlamesNation Major Additions & Re-Signings Player What They Bring / Role Expectations or Potential Andrew Mangiapane (F) Free agent wing; solid two-way game; brings energy and speed; adds depth to forward group. NHL Likely to slot into middle-6; expected to provide secondary scoring and help in puck retrieval/forecheck. NHL Curtis Lazar Depth forward; solid veteran; can move between lines; helps with penalty killing or bottom-6 work. NHL+1 Probably not a game changer offensively, but gives the Oilers more stable options in depth and more flexibility in line matchups. NHL Evan Bouchard (D) Re-signed to a long(er) deal; one of their young top-defensemen; carries big responsibility. NHL+2Puckpedia+2 Expected to be a top pairing or heavy minutes defenseman; important part of their transition and stability at blue line. Puckpedia+1 Vasily Podkolzin (F) Signed a 3-year extension; was fairly productive; brings physicality (hits/blocked shots) as well as modest offensive contributions. Reuters+1 Should see him keep developing; potentially more trusted in key situations; might take on bigger role if injuries or slumps hit. Reuters Defense & Goaltending Defense: Largely stable. Outside of Klingberg's departure, many of the same names remain. There's some competition for depth defense spots: Ty Emberson is in the mix, as is Troy Stecher. Daily Faceoff+1 Key defensemen (like Bouchard, Ekholm, Nurse, Kulak, and Jake Walman) will need to hold up; some have had criticism but generally the group is considered good, if not perfect. Daily Faceoff Goaltending: The plan is to stick with Stuart Skinner as the “starter” with Calvin Pickard backing him up. The Hockey News They brought in a new goalie coach (Peter Aubrey) to try to improve that tandem rather than making a big signing or trade in that area. The Hockey News   Cap / Roster Space & Composition The Oilers are tight on cap space. They currently project very little wiggle room (just a few hundred thousand) under the cap. Puckpedia They added some depth cheap, and held on to core players like Bouchard, Draisaitl, McDavid, etc. Puckpedia+2NHL+2 The forward group has been revamped a bit — more balance, more depth. Mangiapane and Lazar add to that. NHL+1   What to Watch / Weaknesses & Question Marks Goalie performance — with essentially the same tandem, how much improvement will come from coaching changes vs. in-net execution? If Skinner or Pickard struggle, the team may regret not pursuing a more proven backup or starter. Defensive consistency — the blue line has high expectations, especially with departures and aging players. How well do the depth defenders perform? Will the pairings hold up under playoff pressure? Secondary scoring / depth contributions — losing Evander Kane is a noticeable hit in terms of grit and clutch goals. The burden will shift more onto middle lines and depth forwards to chip in. McDavid contract / future — McDavid enters 2025-26 in the final year of his current contract. There is active discussion / confidence from management that he'll sign an extension, but the uncertainty looms. Reuters Special teams — penalty kill was mediocre last season; power play always under the microscope with McDavid/Draisaitl. How much the coaching tweaks help will be critical. Daily Faceoff LEAFS Major Departures Player Role / Impact What They Leave Behind Mitch Marner Top-6 forward, key playmaker. Trailed Auston Matthews on many scoring charts. Big offensive void, particularly in assists and secondary scoring. Reuters+1 Ryan Reaves Enforcer / physical presence, veteran depth forward. NHL+1 Less physical grit, fewer intimidation matchups. Need others to pick up that edge. Pontus Holmberg Depth forward, role player. NHL+1 Loss of depth, especially useful in centre / bottom-6 roles. Max Pacioretty Veteran winger, scoring ability though recent decline. NHL+1 Leaves space for younger wingers or new signings to step up. Others also left / not re-signed: some depth forwards, fringe roster spots. hockeypatrol.com+1     Key Additions & Signings Player What They Bring Role / Expectations Nicolas Roy Acquired in the Marner trade. Good two-way forward, can chip in scoring from bottom 6. Reuters+1   Matias Maccelli Younger forward, decent upside. Could slide into top-6 if needed. NHL   Dakota Joshua Physical forward, heavy hitter, adds depth. Reuters+1   Henry Thrun Defenseman acquired from San Jose. Adds youth / depth on the blue line. NHL   Michael Pezzetta Signed to a two-year deal. Depth forward, physicality. NHL   Re-Signings & Extensions John Tavares agreed to a 4-year extension. Provides veteran leadership and scoring. Reuters Matthew Knies signed a 6-year, $46.5M deal, becoming more of a foundational piece. The Times of India Goaltending: Anthony Stolarz is in contract extension talks after a strong season. The Times of India   Roster & Cap Implications The team loses a high-impact forward (Marner), which both frees up some cap & puts pressure on finding or developing scoring elsewhere. The Hockey News+2hockeypatrol.com+2 Expect more responsibility for existing players (e.g. Knies) and for new arrivals like Maccelli or Roy to fill the offensive gaps. Depth players and prospects are in line to get more opportunity. Names like Easton Cowan, William Villeneuve, etc., are under watch. NHL   What to Watch / Question Marks Who steps into top-6 scoring alongside Matthews and Nylander. That line is going to be more scrutinized this season. How the Leafs adjust defensively with the incoming younger D-corps (Thrun etc.), and whether the blue line depth is improved. Goaltending consistency: Stolarz's extension talks suggest they want stability there. Joseph Woll's role likely stays important. The Hockey News Whether the loss of Marner and Pacioretty will hurt in the playoffs more than during the regular season, especially in tight matchups.
