LTL Patio Season: Talkin’ Leafs Off-Season Dilemmas, the Greatness of Matthews and Women Moving Up The NHL Ranks!
Now that he Cup has been handed out, we can officially say patio season is here! The next few weeks are going to be a little crazy, and Chris and Syl are trying to stay calm despite the lack of news on the Leafs front. So many questions need to be addressed, from what the defence is going to look like next season, to the never ending speculation about the goaltending , to what Kyle Dubas might do at free agency. The Ladies have their thoughts on all of it, and like the rest of Leafs Nation are waiting to see how it all shakes out!
One thing that there is no question about, is the greatness of Auston Matthews. For the 2021-22 NHL season Matthews won the Hart Trophy as League MVP, the Ted Lindsay Award and the Rocket Richard Trophy, and this episode we celebrate all his career milestones to date! It’s been 67 years since a Leaf has won the Hart Trophy and that alone is unbeleafable!
In honour of Auston Matthews, Chris and Syl have picked their top 3 AM34 career highlight reel moments in a special Patio Season edition of the Ladies Talkin’ Leafs highlight reel! Tune in to find out our top 3 highlight reel moments and let us know if you like our choices!
For our Third Period segment we continue with the positive vibes and talk about the strides that women are making in the game! NHL teams are finally recognizing that women have the qualifications and can be valuable additions in different areas of the game. In this segment we discuss a couple of recent historic promotions for women in the game that are inspiring and give hope for the future!
Leafs Nation is anxiously waiting to see what off-season moves Kyle Dubas will make and then the debate will begin on whether or not it will be enough to have team success in the playoffs! Yes it’s patio season, but for hockey fans like us it’s not quite the time to relax! Go Leafs Go!
