LTL Patio Season: Talkin' Bout a Big Announcement, Taking it on the Road, and an Atlantic Division Run Down
In this episode we are finally able to reveal our Big Announcement--joining the Bleav Network! In addition we touch on the Leafs development camp, the 2022-23 Leafs Schedule and discuss the offseason moves to date. We take a deeper dive into the schedule and highlight some road trip possibilities in our latest segment of "On the Road with Chris and Syl", and wrap up the show with a run down of our Atlantic division rivals.
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!

Talkin' the Ladies' Regular Season Grades, The Best Of the LTL Highlight Reel '22 and The Shanaplan Message!
It’s been just over 2 weeks since the Leafs were eliminated from the playoffs, but it feels like such a long time ago! The Ladies have been busy and the Leafs added to this by taking care of some business in the past couple weeks, giving us even more to discuss--which we love!

Talkin' Playoffs: Who Showed, Who Didn't, and the Ladies Stand up for Leafs Nation!
It’s not the ending that we or any Leaf fan wanted or expected, but once again the Leafs lost in the first round of the playoffs in a Game 7. Yes, the core group of players lead the team in points. Yes the refereeing was horrible! And yes, they gave it their all, but ultimately it ended with the same, all too familiar result.

Talkin' the 2 Ilyas, Milestone Moments and Playoff Expectations
A couple weeks left in the NHL season and the Leafs are in 2nd place in the Atlantic Division, which would give them home ice for the first round of the playoffs! There have been so many regular season milestone moments for the players and the team, but the focus remains on what can be achieved in the post season.
Talkin' The Giordano Effect, Questionable Reffing and Prepping for the Playoffs
The Leafs are on a bit of a roll coming out of the trade deadline and the additions of Mark Giordano and Colin Blackwell have been positive! In this episode we talk about the Giordano effect on the Leafs blueline. We are also blowing the whistle on the referees, and agree with Darcy Tucker that former Leaf coach Pat Quinn would not be happy at all with the refs!

Talkin' Trade Deadline, Auston Matthews and Celebrating our 50th Episode!
The Ladies are celebrating 50 episodes of the podcast and it’s been quite the ride since our first episode in September 2019!

We also discuss Trade Deadline possibilities, everything Auston Matthews, and so much more!

Talkin' Leafs Top Line Buzz, Celebrating Black Players in the NHL, and the "Golden" Canadian Women's Hockey Team
The NHL standings are tight and heading into March the games always get more intense! The Leafs went 7-4-1 in February and while the top line of Matthews-Marner-Bunting is one of the best right now in the NHL, the goaltending has been less than ordinary. These are a few topics we discuss in our segment the Good, the Bad and the Ugly.

Talkin' Memories of MLG and the ACC, the Plus side of the Leafs' Stat Column, and the Habs in the Hole
As this latest game segment comes to a close, we're starting to see some light at the end of the tunnel with restrictions beginning to lift just in time for the hockey schedule to heat up. After a spotty few months, games will be coming fast and furious, and we can hardly wait!

Talkin' Leafs Goaltending, Special Teams, and Canadian Olympic Women's Hockey
January felt like an odd month for the Maple Leafs and their fan base. No fans at Scotiabank Arena, only 1 Saturday night game at home, and like most NHL teams, the Leafs had to deal with Covid. We got through it and it’s going to be busier, and hopefully a lot more exciting in February!

The Never-ending Leafs Road Trip and the Quest for Killer Instinct
What better day for Leaf talk than a blustery snow day in January! It's an all out blizzard here in the heart of Leaf Land, but it would take a lot more than an epic snow storm to keep us from our favourite pastime—talkin’ Leafs! We are approaching the halfway point of the season and the Leafs are in 3rd spot in the Atlantic Division, with games in hand on both Tampa and Florida. The schedule has been pretty light and the Buds continue to be on what seems like a never-ending road trip!

Keefe Cranking the November Line Blender
We are closing in on completing the first quarter of the NHL season and with American Thanksgiving coming up, the Leafs are in a pretty good spot! Over the past couple of weeks the team got a couple of big wins vs. Tampa and Boston and a shutout in Philly!

A Hopeful Spark to End a Slow Start
