It’s April and the NHL season is winding down! A lot of excitement and some anxious times ahead for us Leaf fans as we head towards the playoffs! In this episode, we break down everything you need to know as the Leafs gear up for the postseason!
To start things off we introduce you a few new players the team has signed from the NCAA free agent pool. Then, in this week’s edition of the Highlight Reel, we’re shining the spotlight on three standout players who not only lit up the scoreboard but also hit major milestones along the way!
Then, for The Third Period, insider Mike Augello joins the conversation to dish out insights on the team’s biggest question marks—goaltending struggles, defensive pairings, and what’s next for Morgan Rielly. We also pick Mike's brain on the Leafs' defensive strategies, contract talks for Matthew Knies and Mitch Marner, and what these decisions mean for the team’s future. And, of course, this episode would not be complete without a look at the Leafs' playoff path and why winning the Atlantic is crucial to their playoff success.
With only 8 games to go, the team's playoff destiny is very much in their own hands. The three remaining games versus the Panthers and the Lightning will undoubtedly tell the tale. Go Leafs Go!
