Episode Details

Nick Alberga & David Pagnotta tee up Toronto’s final game of 2025 as the Maple Leafs host Sheldon Keefe’s New Jersey Devils in a matchup loaded with real standings implications. The Leafs enter the night 2-0-1 since firing Marc Savard, coming off a weekend where they banked 3 of a possible 4 points — but injuries are piling up again. Chris Tanev and Dakota Joshua are sidelined, Auston Matthews is a game-time decision, and the guys break down how Toronto can manage yet another stretch of adversity, what’s actually changed, and what still hasn’t.

Plus, with Canada’s Olympic roster set to be announced on New Year’s Eve at Noon ET, free-agent NHL head coach Pete DeBoer stops by the show. DeBoer, who has been linked to the Leafs job should Craig Berube be shown the door, weighs in on the Olympic reveal, the coaching landscape around the league, and the growing buzz in Toronto.
