Jon visits the Leaf Matters Podcast
Share

On Wednesday I joined Michael (from Vintage Leaf Memories) and Matteo (from We Want A Cup) on their Leaf Matters podcast. If you haven’t had a chance to check out their podcast, please do so. Our good friend Curt (Blue Chip Prospects) has been on previously, as well as other notable guests like Pat Quinn, Allan Bester, Joe Bowen, Down Goes Brown, and more.

Some of the topics discussed were:

  • Why the Leafs can’t seem to protect a lead
  • The lack of possession players on the Leafs
  • What Kessel brings to the table when he’s not scoring goals
  • Where Dave Nonis is likely to start adjusting the roster, and where I think he should start.

Please check out this solid half hour episode of Leafs talk and find out what I sound like when I’m getting over a throat infection.

This episode of the Leaf Matters podcast and others can be found at [PodAlmighty] [iTunes]

Thanks to Michael and Matteo for having me on as a guest, and for their kind words about Maple Leafs Hot Stove.

    McClaren is an RFA after this season. Probably a trial run to see if he can replace Orr next year.

     we only replaced Lups with Frattin … I guess Hamilton is for MAcA and Maclaren is becasue Orr is sick and migh not be able to play this weekend (flu) … and we all know that we need somebody to keep THorton Lucic and company tame :)

    Its nice to see Hamilton come up . He has to be an upgrade on Steckel ,God he is slow,
    and brings a little more aggression .
    As for the McLaren move, I like it even if its only for Sat. game against the Bruins. This team cannot afford in any shape, way or form to get beat up by the Bruins like they did in March.I predict that Komarov will knock Marchand on his ass in the 1st period. And McLaren will act as a deterrent to Lucic and Thornton.

    I was thinking buyout if he became long term injury…but don’t think that’s allowable..certainly cant be waived while injured

    Oh fuck, is the old Reimer back? Man that was soft, and it looks worse on the slowmo. When anybody has got a slump, just play the Leafs, always seems to be the cure

    We have Phaneuf who has 1 pt and he’s a -7 and can’t hit broad side of a barn, and an ahler in Kostka on our top pp pairing? That’s pitiful. Not knocking Kostka but it day say much for our depth on D.
