Leafs Lounge

The final episode of Leafs Lounge. We bring in Darren Dreger as a special guest as we go out with a bang. The interview begins at 35:10

We revisit the expansion draft and analyze which Leafs players we would expose and which would be protected. We also discuss the recent play of Jake Gardiner after being paired with Connor Carrick.

We debate Frank Corrado's place on this roster and whether it is time to trade James van Riemsdyk for an established top 4 defenceman. We also discuss the Seth Griffith roster move and tee up James Reimer's return to the ACC.

The first and only political episode of Leafs Lounge, we recap our thoughts on the U.S. election. There is some Leafs talk too, about the play of the Leafs rookies and their defencemen in the past week, as well as the coaching decisions by Mike Babcock.

We discuss Nazem Kadri's impact on the Leafs and what he has to do to continue being effective. We also break down the Leafs defence issues and take a look at the similarities between the Chicago Cubs and the Maple Leafs.

On the first episode of the 2016-17 season, we discuss the positives of this Leafs team, despite so many negative storylines early on. We predict how many points and goals Matthews and Nylander will finish with and what changes the Leafs should make to their lines.

Our final podcast of the season features special guest Steve Dangle to talk about his thoughts on the season, where the rebuild is right now and where it's headed and gives his career advice.

On this episode, former Maple Leafs game night in-arena host and announcer Monika Platek joins us to share some of her stories about the Leafs organization, its fans and the players. She also talks about her experiences working with the Olympics and gives her advice for anyone looking to break into the industry.

As the season is coming to an end we introduce a hypothetical segment: "Who would you rather trade?" Where we choose between two current (or former) Leafs and decide which player we'd rather have moving forward.

On this episode, we discuss whether the Leafs are winning too much, preventing them from having the best chance at winning the draft lottery. We also discuss if the Penguins recent success will affect where the Leafs' potential second 1st round pick will be. Also covered is part two of our expansion protection and our Twitter question, on who we'd draft if the Leafs pick 4th.

We discuss which 2 centres the Leafs should build their team with going forward and introduce a new segment of which players we'd protect in the event the NHL has an expansion draft.

We break down the debuts of the Marlies players who were called up last week and preview their play for the following week. We discuss who should be the next captain of the Leafs and discuss whether the Leafs' prospect pool decreases the need to sign Steven Stamkos.

We breakdown the final hour of the 2016 NHL Trade Deadline live. Unfortunately it was the least active deadline in years, and the Leafs made no trades. We try to keep things interesting as best as we can.

On the podcast leading up to the Trade Deadline, we break down the trades that have happened and preview the ones that will come in the next week. We also analyze the development strategies of the Leafs prospects.

On this jam-packed episode, we give our thoughts on the new Leafs logo, discuss whether we think the Leafs are getting snubbed for the Winter Classic and nudge the idea of bringing up some top prospects before the end of the season. We revisit the Kessel trade and evaluate some of the problems of the Vancouver Canucks compared to the Leafs.

On this episode, we give our thoughts on the 2016 NHL All-Star Game, preview the Leafs new logo for 2017 and our thoughts for the second half of the Leafs season.

The final podcast of the semester, we discuss the Leafs goaltending situation, what's wrong with the Oilers (including potential trades with the Leafs) and a preview of the upcoming month of hockey.

The Leafs are on fire which has been bad for Tank Nation. On this episode, we discuss what's wrong with Bernier, answer our Twitter question about trading a goalie at the deadline, update how our prospects have played and discuss the advanced stats in Nazem Kadri's game.

On this episode, we discuss goaltending, expansion and building through the draft. We also give a prospect update and answer your Twitter questions!
