2:25 John McDonald’s dad had recently died. He wasn’t there, unless you mean in spirit.
Did not watch yet but the answer is NO!
Overachieving team that comes out of nowhere to pleasantly surprise us. It's like the 1993 Leafs. And the players truly show their personalities, unlike the canned, monotone responses that the Leafs give us. Who conveys more joy when he plays, Vladdy Guerrero or Auston Matthews? Fans like to see personalities emerge. The 1993 Leafs (Gilmour, Clark) showed that as well.
The sens are the blue jays, they have been for years. Talent all sitting under the radar, great team culture, passionate loyal fan base aching to see some winning.
Go jays, go sens go
Steve is getting annoying 😅
I would have liked these leafs if they didn’t demand so much money
baseball players are allowed to be themselves ( for the most part ) hockey players say or do anything they are " individuals " . imagine the ( pick any NHL team other than maybe Vegas or Florida ) having a goal jacket , every goal back at the bench . like the blue jays have the home run jacket . imagine players were allowed to celebrate a goal . Ovi was told you tone it down back in the day . hockey is my sport of choice but the game does it make it difficult to like and grow .
Treliving and "exciting" don't being in the same sentence.
Don't you get tired of playing this game every summer only to be disappointed in the playoffs AGAIN??
Isn't LeBron 3-6 in final series?
The last time the Leafs were as likeable as his edition of the Jays was 2017……They exceeded expectations losing to Washington in 6, but pushed them further than anyone expected. Core 3 (No Tavares) were all on rookie contracts…….No hold outs, interfering agents or Parents crying in the media…..about getting paid…….the team had promise, the fans for the 1st time in years had hope and they appeared to be on the cusp of something very special…..
F the leafs for a while bud, geez. You just ran your best player out of town. Just stop.
Guys I harbor significant concerns regarding Tree’s persistent staying only in discussions stage with other general managers about potential trade opportunities, yet he has not succeeded in executing a major trade akin to his previous style in Calgary. Despite his frequent engagement, he has yet to finalize a deal for a top-tier player, particularly as the team approaches a critical juncture.
Given the Flyers' current surplus of wingers, they ought to be a prime target for Tree. However, his overly cautious approach may hinder the execution of any substantial trades. This reluctance could cultivate a sense of desperation before he chooses to act, which is the least advantageous time to negotiate a deal.
For example, during the most recent trade deadline, his last minute decision to relinquish a first-round pick and a prospect for Laughton was far from ideal. At this point, I would assign him a grade of C. As a GM with considerable responsibilities, players 19 and 64 should have been removed from the roster by now, and player 44 must either be traded or bought out to enhance the effectiveness of our power play quarterback. He needs to be decisive now.
Were I in his position, I would advocate for a buyout of Morgan, as the team lacks the salary cap flexibility to retain a player who has struggled to make a meaningful impact on the power play and possesses only average defensive abilities. Should he opt against a buyout or trade at this juncture, Tree must be wary of regretting this decision later, as it may soon become too late to act again. This pattern of managerial caution is precisely why the organization finds itself in a challenging predicament regarding Mitch’s contract, where a trade should have been executed prior to the activation of his no-move clause.
Furthermore, the failure to secure a replacement for a top-six forward signifies a notable shortcoming. While it may not be imperative to identify a 100-point scorer, the team cannot afford to lack a player of top-six caliber. If Tree and his supporters believe in retaining prospects, that is acceptable; however, they must also be prepared to back him if the team fails to reach the playoffs.
In my assessment, if Tree can negotiate for a solid young winger from the Flyers, I would consider parting with a young prospect. Dubas and Brandon have already inflicted considerable damage on the roster , contract talks, trade and drafting and with this team only have two to three years of opportunity for a serious playoff run, the Leafs has no choice but to embrace calculated risks for parts of its future. Given the previous mismanagement, there exists no perfect solution. While risky, if these opportunities are not pursued, the team will remain ensnared in mediocrity—provided that the players acquired are not in their mid-30s, it is worth taking these calculated risks.
Why are we talking about the jays on a leafs/hockey podcast? Comparing the 2 is moronic given the comment section
The 2015 Blue Jays weren't really doing anything…then made a few trades and caught fire riding that to the ALCS (including an epic 7th inning). They aren't beating the 92 and 93 Jays in 7…but we would most certainly be entertained for 7 games.
Long way to go, 162 is a LOT of games…almost twice as many as 82. But they've beaten the Yankees in the season series, so winning! Just go beat the Orioles now, they can't beat the Rockies. 😂
Odds are high they are going to have to beat the Dodgers, that seems like a tall ask.
Matt Martin was the big brother and they were two bad calls away from beating Washington. Cue Dufas and he traded away our likeness. 2024 and Berube misplays Reaves and we lose to another cup champ. Matthews won't stand up for himself, Tavares won't stand up for himself and Willie won't stand up for himself. until every player on every line is willing to jump into a scrum the Leafs will not get past the 2nd round. The Leafs would have won 3 if not 4 cups in the Matthews era if Dufas was not the GM. That being said I am betting on the Leafs to win it all this year.

Winning but likable players too. Unexpected success. Personality.
THEY CARE, THEY WORK, THEY DONT WHINE, AND THEY ABSOLUTELY LOVE EACHOTHER.
THE LEAFS HAD 0 OF THAT
The leafs need to play as a committee. If they can't do that I'm not sure they can go far. The leafs goal is to re-sign Matthews in 2028. If they can't do that they need to blow up the entire team up. Toronto should approve a team in Toronto just to get some competition in the market. Cheaper tickets and a more family atmosphere is why I like going to sens games. Teams suck haha yeah boo sens but at least we have a good atomsphere that is relatively cheap in comparison.
There's one major difference: If the Jays make it to the second round (ALDS) and lose in 5 (since LDSes don't go 7), no one is complaining, because no one expected the Jays to get that far when the season started.
If the Leafs lose in Game 7 of the second round, they will very much not get the same reaction.
maple leafs don’t do fun to far up there bums 😻😻😻
I am gonna enjoy the massive step back the leafs make. Like watching when them miss the playoffs
This Blue Jays team was likeable before the winning run. Most the guys have been with the team for a while, there are younger players on the rise, and everybody contributes.
Lol, no
Y’all should talk jays more often this was great
Zero-event Berube hockey actually prevents it.
Leafs future is looking bleak
We don’t care if the leafs are fun or not, we just want them to win.
Lack of disappointment (due to lower expectation), and players themselves caring and hustling.
mid-late 80s Leafs were fun, low expectation, but they hustle, they came to play
There ya go , now you just jinxed the Jays.
I want to see them be the most physical team.
I want heart, and I want to see sweat.
This dry hair bs, after 60mins of hockey is ridiculous. Marner, for example.
None of what I just mentioned.
Let's crush guys, block shots for a brother, and do it when it matters most.
Passion heart love is what gets you a cup.
Okay, I laughed out loud in my living room when I read the headline 😅😅😅
Everything is fun for leafs til mid april
One factor is ZERO salary cap. The cap is designed to pit fans against players, such that any player demanding more is vilified.
No the Leafs Stanley Cup Window has closed
Factors that make a likeable team (in no particular order): winning, timely moments of success when it matters most, team and individual effort (hustle), unselfish play, regular contributions from top to bottom in the lineup, timely performance from underdog players, team chemistry; a sense of togetherness and a team who selflessly works for each other, and not just for themselves; supportive teammates who genuinely enjoy playing together to the point where it's blatantly obvious on-camera during games, in the dugout/on the bench, and off the field/ice; perceived "grit," character, charisma, how players interact with fans and media, how happy players seem to be to come to the stadium/arena and perform for their fans and teammates, genuine fan appreciation, accountability, overall positive intangibles, and luck.
Now, I ask anyone reading, how many of those things do you see with the Leafs and their players? Didn't think so.
This is why this year's Blue Jays team has captured the hearts and respect of fans (as of this moment in late July anyway). It's not just because the Jays embody almost all of those positive attributes already mentioned, it's also because Toronto fans (and Jays fans across Canada) arguably haven't had that same feeling since the 2015 and 2016 Jays teams, and fans are getting reacquainted with what it's like to feel that kind of magic again. And most importantly, they are appreciative for being able to feel that again.
Who knows, the Jays could crap the bed again once the playoffs come along, but there are elements about the way they play that simply does not exist with the Leafs. There is just an undeniable vibe, both tangible and intangible, that is such a stark contrast to so many Leafs teams we've seen over the years. The vibe the Jays have right now is just a whole other ballgame. Pun intended.
The Raptors were never in an eastern conference final before 2019.
