Episode Details

Nick Alberga & Jay Rosehill are joined by 2003 Conn Smythe Trophy winner and former Maple Leaf J-S Giguere. First, Giggy weighs in on Toronto’s loss in Montreal, highlighting Joseph Woll’s sparkling performance. From there, the conversation shifts to the Leafs’ crease situation, where Giguere suggests the team actually has three formidable options moving forward—and that management could consider dealing whichever goalie would bring back the biggest return in a trade this summer. He also likes the idea of Toronto attempting to rebuild on the fly.

When asked about what led to the Leafs’ downfall this season, Giguere points directly at leadership, noting that at the end of the day players still have to play. He believes Auston Matthews could use more help in leading the team. Giguere also reflects on his time in Toronto, what it was like playing on a losing team, and how he handled difficult situations behind the scenes. Lastly, he touches on the pressure of the Toronto media market and what it’s really like to play in the city—something he says he truly enjoyed.
