Episode Details

The Toronto Maple Leafs pull off a WILD 5-4 win over the New York Rangers thanks to a clutch late goal from Troy Stecher! David Morassutti is joined by Frank Stanisci to break down the dramatic finish, the fourth line's breakout performance, and what this win says about Toronto's changing identity.

The Leafs' depth came through in a big way, but can they keep it going against Connor McDavid and the Edmonton Oilers?

🔥 TODAY'S SHOW:

• Troy Stecher's HEROICS: How the defenceman delivered the game-winning goal with less than 30 seconds remaining.

• Is the Leafs' culture changing? The reaction to Stecher's goal and the team's growing chemistry could be signs of a more connected group.
• Easton Cowan keeps earning his minutes: Why the rookie continues to impress, how he's helping drive the team's energy, and why Toronto should keep giving him opportunities.
• What about Gavin McKenna? We discuss his limited ice time against the Rangers, the importance of building good habits, and why patience is needed with the 18-year-old.
• Three stars of the game: We hand out our picks after Toronto's thrilling victory.
• Oilers vs. Leafs preview: Connor McDavid is putting up historic numbers, and Toronto faces a massive test against Edmonton's high-powered offence.
