Brian Burkes Trade 'O' Rama Episode, Part 2 - Season 4, Episode 014

This 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 fighting and suspensions from around the league. We then give our opinions on Don Cherry's opinions about Andrew Ference. As always we wrap up with Wayne's Word and Chris' new idea for making the Leafs playoff contenders next year. Have a listen to find out how!

All Star Extravaganza! Leafs Week 17 in Review - Season 4, Episode 013

It'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 talk about Wayne Gretzky and our own Wayne for Wayne's Word. Too many Wayne's! Enjoy the show!

Leafs Week 16 in Review - Season 4, Episode 012

This 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 and the return of Forsberg...again? Then Chris bitches about the 500 million dollar company that runs a rinky-dink T.V station. Finally we sum up the good and bad of the first half of the season for the Leafs and we get Wayne on for a Wayne's Word.

True Grit! Leafs week 15 in Review - Season, Episode 011

We'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 this on paper defense is not living up to potential on the ice. Lately the Leafs have shown true grit, so we decide to talk about the movie True Grit for a while. We discuss Dion Phaneuf, will he ever return to his years of Norris Trophy possibility? We also talk about Wilson's cash betting and his 600th win and the HBO series 24/7. Finally we wrap it up with the usual Wayne's Word!

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.
