About this episode
JD Bunkis and Frank 'Hockey Illuminati' Crupi analyze the Toronto Maple Leafs' recent game and discuss the team's future strategies and player decisions.
The Toronto Maple Leafs win their second straight, taking down the New York Rangers 4-3 at home. JD Bunkis and Frank 'Hockey Illuminati' Crupi break down the game and discuss the Leafs' fading chase for a bottom-five finish, the vibes in the arena and the pathways to being competitive next season. Then, they get into Joseph Woll's effort, whether the Leafs should trade a goalie in the offseason, John Tavares' value, and which player — between Max Domi, Mattias Maccelli and Nick Robertson — the team should bring back in 2026-27. The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the hosts and guests and do not necessarily reflect the position of Rogers Sports & Media or any affiliates.
