Okay! Leafs Week 9 in Review - Season 4, Episode 010

Okay! 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 Thursday night boos their disapproval over the teams performance. Okay! Then we play some clips of Marc Crawford flipping out and Darren Pang....being a racist? No, it was a Freudian slip.(a racist one) Okay! Finally we wrap it up with Wayne's Word and Wayne calls P.K Subban a racist...by accident.

Reunion Tour! Leafs Week 8 in Review - Season 9, Episode 009

Like 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 the course and Richards+Semin is just average Leafs gomer talk. We also talk about jersey throwing and things get a little abstract. Brian brings up Colin Campbell stuff he doesn't know anything about! We also discuss the Monsters freaking out. We then have Matt Kalman from www.thebruinsblog.net to talk Bruins and his book about them. As always we have a doozy for Wayne's Word and he makes hay for us!

Sens Underground! Leafs Week 7 in Review - Season 4, Episode 008

Jamie 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 year? Jamie says no, but how great would it be if he was? Then we have the showdown. Leafs Central... at Lunch! vs. Sens Underground. The boys return to talk how the Sens are doing and we all end up making fun of our own teams more than each others. As always we wrap up with Wayne's Word and Chris turns into an icicle in the garage.

Stormin' Norman! Leafs Week 6 in Review - Season 4, Episode 007

This 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 Brian Burke. Then we discuss the games of the week, finally some wins to speak of. Dave was there in person saturday versus the Canucks so we get his thoughts and then we review the whirlwind versus Nashville and the snoozer versus The Devils. As always we wrap up the show with Wayne's Word.

Rest in Peace Pat Burns, you gave us the most exciting Leaf moments in the last 25 years.

Mike from Buffalo! Leafs Week 5 in Review - Season 4, Episode 006

This 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. Thankfully he only sings once. Chris also clears up some things about Tim Thomas and his bear fighting, or rather hiding exploits. Then we get Mike from Buffalo on the phone and get his opinions on the call up of Nazem Khadri and Keith Aulie. Finally we wrap up the show with Wayne's Word. This week he gets 2 words to spell! Bonus Spelling Week!

Die by the Blade! Leafs Week 4 in Review - Season 4, Episode 005

This 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 shutting out of our Buds, to the lose to our hated rivalries the Sens. Brian was there live so he gives us some more insight on the game, sort of. Finally they talk of the Caps game and give Wayne another chance to spell Niedermayer with his brother Rob. This is how he spelt it in season 3 with his brother Scott: Neineyer. Tune in to see how he does this time!

The Return of Wayne - Season 4, Episode 004

Wayne 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 Boston. Dave is red in the face after saying Tim Thomas was done before the year started. Look who was way off as he is about to make Bruins history with one more win. Then for some reason we talk about Bears, or hairy gay guys. Finally Brian makes an appearance for Wayne's Word and he does his best attempt at phonetic spelling. Listen and enjoy!

New York! New York! Leafs Week 2 in Review - Season 4, Episode 003

Things 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 it. We know one thing, whatever he said to Rypien, he wouldn't have said to him if he bumped into him in a bar. Then we discuss if we would be proud or ashamed if we made an ass of ourselves and pissed of a hockey player that much to make him attack us. We also talk about the A.C.C turning into a silent tomb. Finally we talk about the Leafs games of the week and wrap it up with Wayne's Word.

Leafs Week 1 in Review - Season 4, Episode 002

The 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 with? (it's a stretch of a segue, I know) We talk about the Leafs destroying the rival Sens and hanging on against the Pens. Is this team fast or what? We end it off as usual by giving Wayne a call and testing his ability to spell Wisniewski.

Stay tuned for some exciting guest in the coming weeks.

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 the opening game versus the hated Habs. As always we do a rousing game of Wayne's Word. Listen and subscribe through itunes.

Trades! Trades! Trades, Galore! - Season 3, Episode 010

A 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 Ilya, get the hell out of here! We also discuss the firing of Ken Hitchcocky. Speaking of cocky we also talk about Phaneuf's attitude in the dressing room and the new greatest line on the Leafs...Kulemin, Sjostrom and everyone's favourite Leaf, Wallin. Mike Komisarek is out for the rest of the season with shoulder surgery. Finally we end the show with a solid solution to the problems in Haiti and the sad news that Wayne got Wayne's Word right and the Leafs blew a 3-1 lead in the last minute of the game vs. the Devils. Booooooo!

Make sure you listen to the bonus audio clip at the end of the show!

The We're Back and Better Than Ever Episode? Season 3, Episode 008

W, 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 know. We talk Brodeur as the best goalie of all time, Cujo`s retirement, Bozak call up, and of coarse the newly minted Olympic team. We close out the show with a discussion of the top events of the past decade in hockey and a quick Wayne`s Word.
