Raise your hand if you have ever felt personally victimized by Kyle Dubas lulling you into a false sense of security and slight disappointment before dropping a massive trade on your head and absolutely destroying your Canada Day.
No? Just us?
On the next episode of Real Gud Pros: what will Kyle Dubas get back for Marleau, Brown, and a second? Will Mitch Marner and Carlton find their happily ever after, or are they doomed to become star-crossed lovers? Will Nicholas Cage manage to retrieve the Kelly Cup? And will Dougie Hamilton finally become… Dougie Toronto?
Welcome to another episode of the William Nylander podcast! This week we talk about William Nylander’s success at World, the praise that William Nylander received from his Swedish teammates, and how happy William Nylander looks.
We also get a bit off-topic and talk the Marlies current playoff run, who our favourite players are, and who we think is most likely to make the jump to the Leafs next year. Also: the NHL still exists question mark?, the Voynov situation is trash but slightly less trash than it could be, and the Professional Women’s Hockey Players Association is formally established.
It's trade season babeyyyyy! And so far there have been.... no trades involving the Leafs. But while the Ducks are busy trading out their entire roster, some other stuff did happen: Buffalo and Columbus' respective mysteries have been solved, Ryan Johansen has been suspended for two games, and the NHL and NHLPA have confirmed that there will be no 2020 World Cup. As for the Leafs, well... Babs, can you turn on your location for a second? We just want to talk.
We’re back and so is Babcock! But we’re not lingering on that! Join us as we instead celebrate the Toronto Marlies sweeping their way through rounds one and two of the playoffs, learn about some new European prospects, and cheer for the only NHL team we’ve ever cared about. Also: everything is happening so much in women’s hockey, evaluating William Nylander’s taste in music, and Patty learns how to get down with the youth.
It’s finally the playoffs, and through a nail-biting end to a season full of twists and turns and speculation the Leafs are…… facing Boston in the first round. But that’s fine, and we’re fine, and still have four final regular season games to talk about anyways. Plus: updates on the CWHL situation, revisiting our beginning of the season predictions, and what the Lightning’s uniforms should look like.
This week we start with the heartbreaking news that, after 12 years, the CWHL is ceasing operations. To quote the players, who came out with similar statements on social media following the official announcement, “it’s hard to remain optimistic #NoLeague”.
Also on the table this week: Tyler Ennis’ Masterton nomination, Auston “Beast Mode” Matthews, the coming rise of player tracking technology, and who should captain the Leafs.
Peter Chiarelli has been fired!! Holy shit we can’t believe that it took this long!! Meanwhile, the Leafs wrecked the Capitals 6-3 in a magical slump-busting game, the NHL managed to truly out-NHL itself with the All Star Weekend, some players wore some baller suits, and Dubas held a press conference. We also discuss which Leafs would win what in a beauty pageant, what mascot we would like to spend a week living with, and try and match hockey teams to r/relationships posts.
