Love the videos 😊😊 this playoffs is going to be interesting 🤔
All I know is you two make a good podcast, and we can both agree that we want our teams to steer clear of one another
A cookie is a dessert, but the ice cream argument doesn’t change that fact, an ice cream sandwich isn’t a cookie 🤣🫵

If you were the Leafs, which team would you want to play in the first round of the playoffs? 🤔
I think I saw you at the game 👀
Yup. I gotta feeling Bob is gonna be Shakey round 1. bring on the Panthers
Does it really matter? We all know the Leafs will lose lol
Nate is the MVP ,,, people from the east that don’t watch him play every night , he’s been the best player in the NHL,, he went 36 games in a row at home with at least 1 pt ,,, he came within 4 games of breaking that record scoring in every single home game ,, that’s a Gretzky record how many of his records do you know get broken? Check how many hall of famers he’s passed on that streak ,, the Mathews thing is funny yes he might get 70 , how can he win the Hart when he wasn’t even the best player on his own team for half the season , Mylander was,,, let’s say a player gets 100 pts in a season but he scores 75 goals does he deserve the hart?
No cause it’s the MVP of the league not the best goal scoring, there’s another trophy for that
When I think Tampa I think Hedman, Vasi, Point in that order. Even as a Leaf fan Hedman is the top pick of that draft without question.
WE WANT FLORIDA X2! 😅
Cookies make great snacks.
Imagine a golfer – who wants to avoid playing the most difficult holes on the course. That is similar to the Leafs Media & Fans not wanting their team to play challenging teams – in the playoffs.
Why is the Leafs Media not discussing 1) the weaknesses in the Leafs Core 4, and 2) suggesting how the Leafs Core 4 ($50 Million) can improved for no continued playoff disappointments? 😀
First series vs Florida is ideal.
Nate off the Hart ballot and cookies are desserts? Horrible takes. Still, I love this podcast. Definitely agree that Marner should be on JT's line, and leave Domi and Bertuzzi with Matthews.
Let's take those panthers
A cookie is a snack 😂
Always the best Leaf content..thx boys..any of the top teams present a challenge..dosnt really matter..looking forward to playoff hockey
