Quarter Season Review - Season 5, Episode 001
November 28, 2011 16:29Welcome to the quarter season review! This is the first episode of our season of talking Leafs. We may not be doing very many episodes year because of someone whom will not be named (Wayne). We are happy to be talking about a good Leafs team, finally. Things are looking up this year so far as the Leafs are playing very well and Kessel and Lupul are kicking ass in the points department! Have a listen to our thoughts and opinions on what the rest of the year may have in store and the goings on ...
Reunion Tour Part 2! Leafs Season Week 24 in Review - Season 4, Episode 017
March 21, 2011 20:04All of the guys return to discuss the flailing Leafs attempts to return to the playoffs. The show starts with a word meaning discussion. This week the Leafs surprise by playing a stellar game and beating the Canes, only to falter to the Panthers in a 4-0 shutout loss. This brings up the curious question of Wilson's decision to play Giguere and not even dress Reimer! Brian gets rather heated in Wilson's constant contradictions of himself. Is Wilson just messing with the media? If the Leafs are...
Leafs Playoff Push Week 2 - Season 4, Episode 016
March 14, 2011 15:51The Leafs playoff push falls short this week as they only pick up 1 out of a possible 6 points. They're still in it but hopes get slimmer if the following weeks continue like this past one. We reminisce about the last time we were excited the Leafs may make the playoffs, but alas they lost to the Islanders. We discuss the upcoming week with 2 important games versus Buffalo and Carolina and of coarse we talk at length about the Chara hit on Max Patchready (Wayne's Word Spoiler) According to C...
Leafs Playoff Push - Season 4, Episode 015
March 08, 2011 21:51So, as always the Leafs are making a late season desperate push to make the playoffs. As always everyone is asking the question, will they make it? If you want answers than listen to this show, then find yourself wanting more answers because we don't give any. Same old, same old. We all want them to make it this year since we don't have to worry about poor drafting position. We also review the recent trades and the boring trade deadline. Is Dion Phaneuf the worst captain in Leafs history? S...
Brian Burkes Trade 'O' Rama Episode, Part 2 - Season 4, Episode 014
February 14, 2011 21:36This is not really a Trade O' Rama per say, but Brian Burke did make a big trade again this year prior to the trade deadline frenzy and we talk about it, as well as the trade of Mike Fisher. Does Burke have more in stock? Probably. We he make another trade before trade deadline day? Perhaps. Do we like asking ourselves questions that we then vaguely answer? Maybe. We also revisit Kessel being picked last for the All Star game and the Toronto uproar about it. We then discuss all the goalie f...
All Star Extravaganza! Leafs Week 17 in Review - Season 4, Episode 013
January 31, 2011 18:45It's All Star time! Get ready to get ready! This week we talk about the NHL All Star game, the gimmicks and the glory! The biggest breakup in NHL history, the Sedins split up, and no big surprise to many, our beloved Kessel gets picked last. To stroke his bruised ego they give him a car and 20 G's to his favourite charity. We also talk about the Nabokov incident, Leafs horrible week, and Komisarek's appearance in the crappy rumour mill of TMZ. Finally we have a double shot of Wayne's with a ...
Leafs Week 16 in Review - Season 4, Episode 012
January 24, 2011 21:03This week we review the Leafs rather mediocre 1-1-1 record. Scoring seemed to be a problem again until they faced the Ducks on Thursday night. We discuss Nabokov's signing with the Red Wings and again marvel at how Kenny Holland manages to get great players at bargain basement prices while the Leafs ownership continually overpays (Kessel, Komisarek, just to name a couple). Will some other club pick him up? We also discuss Lombardi's freak out with the call from the War room on the high stick ...
True Grit! Leafs week 15 in Review - Season, Episode 011
January 17, 2011 17:47We're back after the holidays for a quick episode due to the inability to find the mixer in quick fashion. Since the last episode the Leafs have gone 8-6-0, included in that a 4 game winning streak! This week we delve into the road winning streak which includes the great play of rookie call up James Reimer. Many of the Leafs forwards are poised to score between 20-25 goals which will be career highs for all of them. The only weakness still appears to be on the Defensive side of things as t...
Okay! Leafs Week 9 in Review - Season 4, Episode 010
December 13, 2010 15:13Okay! This week we talk retirements, Winter Classic Alumni game rosters, HBO shows, and a little coach-Kovalev spat. Okay! We also discuss the surprising amount of write in votes for Kris Letang and Carey Price. People still use the post office and write letters? What a world! Okay! We then reminisce about the 4 games of the week, 2 surprising wins against Boston and the Caps and 2 expected losses against the Pens and Flyers. Does Wilson still deserve to be fired? The fans at the ACC Thursda...
Reunion Tour! Leafs Week 8 in Review - Season 9, Episode 009
December 06, 2010 15:17Like the Rolling Stones we also have a reunion tour! Or maybe like the Beatles we just get together on a roof for one more show! Okay so we're exaggerating...a lot. However the original fab 4 of the show have returned together to talk Leafs, or more importantly Leafs coaching and management. We all lament and weep and sit in ashes regarding the extremely poor play of our beloved blue and white. Is there a solution in sight? Chris pushes hard for free agent diamonds but Brian insists we stay...
Sens Underground! Leafs Week 7 in Review - Season 4, Episode 008
November 27, 2010 17:52Jamie from the west coast re-joins the show after a year long absence and he's full of it! Knowledge that is! We talk about the anomalies in the NHL so far this season, fat Philly fans, 1000 point Europeans, and the Leafs games of the week. We talk about Komisareks atrocious (Jamie's word of the show) giveaway and the varying opinions on that from Burke and Kypreos. We also play a clip from Don Cherry on the way management handled Kadri, boy was he pissed! Will Brad Richards be a Leaf next ye...
Stormin' Norman! Leafs Week 6 in Review - Season 4, Episode 007
November 20, 2010 17:59This week Dave is back and the sound quality of our show improves dramatically! What important things do we have to talk about? Oh, you listen and see, you listen and see......not much really. The 2 more suspensions, Pundy wasting hundreds of dollars on a tow, the trade of Ian White and Wayne's wacky thoughts from last weeks show. We get 590 legend Stormin' Norman Rumack on and he reminisces about his good friend Pat Burns who passed away this week. We also get his thoughts on the Leafs and B...
Mike from Buffalo! Leafs Week 5 in Review - Season 4, Episode 006
November 16, 2010 20:38This week on the show we were without Dave and we immediately ran into sound quality problems. Apologies for some of the poor quality of the show near the end. We need our tech guy back! Things are looking really bad for the Leafs and it shows in our lack of want to talk about them. 1-7-2 in their last ten is nothing to write home about, or talk on a podcast about. Brian and Chris discuss the new All Star team choosing format and Brian won't stop talking about Ben Folds for some reason. ...
Die by the Blade! Leafs Week 4 in Review - Season 4, Episode 005
November 08, 2010 15:12This week the guys Die by the Blade! Or to be more specific they have Zach from the show Die by the Blade on as a guest to talk about the Buffalo Sabres and their many woes this season. GM Dave makes a ridiculous suggestion of a trade, Tomas Kaberle for Tim Connoly. Thankfully his assistant GM rejects that trade and says he wants more for Kaberle than that. Maybe that was Brian Burkes problem all summer....always wanting more. They also discuss the weeks Leafs games from the back to back s...
The Return of Wayne - Season 4, Episode 004
November 01, 2010 19:43Wayne makes his triumphant return to the show in person and it begins right away with insults and compliments. This week we talk about Wayne's incomprehension of the internet and computers and read emails regarding his return. We talk of Kovalchuk being a healthy scratch and him so far ruining the Devils with his greedy paws. As always we talk about the Leaf games of the week. Starting with a lousy performance against Philly, a controversial win against Florida and a lackluster lose againts B...
New York! New York! Leafs Week 2 in Review - Season 4, Episode 003
October 24, 2010 16:29Things are pretty even in the big city as the Leafs go 1-1-1. They win their first overtime game, lose their first overtime game and then finally lose their first game in regulation. That puts them at 4-1-1 so far this season. This week we talk suspensions to both Doan and Rypien. The NHL overeacts to Rypien and suspends him for 6 games. So taking someones head off is only 2 games, but grabbing a fans shirt is 6 games? Let's face it, that fan was probably a smug douche anyway and deserved...
Leafs Week 1 in Review - Season 4, Episode 002
October 17, 2010 21:58The Leafs start of the season a perfect 3-0 and the fans are bloody excited! Manage expectations everyone, they can't keep winning every game. This week we talk about the prior Leaf games, the demotion of Jeff Finger and the many suspensions that kick off the first week in the NHL. Most interesting of all being the suspension to James Wisniewski for his penis in the mouth oral sex mimicking to none other than Sean Avery. Speaking of short things, how about the short bench the Devils played w...
Summer Look Back and Season Preview - Season 4, Episode 001
October 12, 2010 20:28We're back! Yes, it's been 7 months since a show! (boo) Actually we did a show before the Olympics and never posted it. so if you've been having Leafs talk withdrawals, we've got the tonic. This week we quickly review the summers activities and preview some of the things coming up this fall. We talk of the new speedy Leafs and try in vain to predict this coming spring. We try to introduce a new segment called stupid Leaf fans where we read dumb Leaf fan comments. We also briefly discuss...
Trades! Trades! Trades, Galore! - Season 3, Episode 010
February 07, 2010 17:50A perfect start to Gigueres reign of terror! Last week Burke made many significant trades and the Leafs beat the Devils 3-0. Lou Lamoriello said that whatever Burke could do he could do better so he went out and got the star of Atlanta, Kovalchuk! In your face Brian Burke! So the boys talk that and the Oli Jokinen trade. Who said there were no trades in the post lockout era? Chris speculates that next year Ilya is K.H.L bound next year, if that's the case, we don't want you in our N.H.L...
Brian Burkes Trade 'O' Rama Episode (Re-post) - Season 3, Episode 009
February 02, 2010 08:04The Leafs lose a 3 nothing lead to the Canucks om Saturday and then they lose Stajan, Hagman, White, Mayers, Toskala and Blake to the trading block guillotine. That's right, Brian Burke went ballistic and sold the farm. Depending on how you look at it whether you think these trades or for the better. In return the new boys in blue are Keith Aulie, Fredrik Sjostrom and J.S Giguere. Oh, and also Dion Phaneuf! This week the guys discuss these monumental trades, good or bad. They also talk ...

The We're Back and Better Than Ever Episode? Season 3, Episode 008
January 18, 2010 16:28W, L, L, W, OTL, L, OTL, W, L, L, W, L, L, L, L, W, L. So that wraps up the recap of the Leafs games since our last episode. If you're keeping track that's a 5-10-2 record over the last 17 games. We had an episode 8 that was unfortunately lost to a computer crash. So this is take 2! On this episode we discuss how terrible the Leafs have been lately. Is there a way to fix this team. Only Dave and Chris have the answer! Why do the Leafs managers always pay too much in trades. Hell if we...
Get Back On The Bandwagon! - Season 3, Episode 007
December 14, 2009 17:02In this short episode Dave and Chris jump back on the bandwagon as the Leafs go 7-3-1 since our last episode. We talk briefly about the wins of the 3 weeks we didn't have a show and get into the recent resurgence in Vesa Toskala's game. He seems to be winning back the fans. His only recent losses are to the well oiled Boston Bruins and the once Leafs prospect Tuuku Rask. Wayner calls in and gives us his picks for the renaming of NHL trophies. He was right on the ball with some of them, b...
Leafs Season Week 7 in Review - Season 3, Episode 006
November 30, 2009 20:44It's the Dave and Chris show, and until Brian finishes all his remodeling of his new place it's gonna stay that way. This week we talk about the Leafs inconsistency in play. The week of point streaks followed by 4 losses in a row and an awful lose to the Hurricanes. You can hear the dispair in their voices as they grasp for something, anything positive to say about the Leafs latest performances. It's a rough go of a show that not even Wayne's Word can cheer up. If the show seems to be as inco...
Leafs Season Weeks 4-6 in Review - Season 3, Episode 005
November 30, 2009 20:31This week Chris, Dave and Dan discuss the Leafs first win of the season and the dismal chance of them reaching the .500 winning percentage. We talk Toskala, head shots and other stuff that I can't remember because this show was recorded a month ago and is just being posted thanks to the lack of a computer and the incompetence of Future Shop. Episode 6 will be posted also which was recorded 3 weeks ago... We also jam a Wayne's Word in there somewhere. I wouldn't blame you if you don't liste...
