Nick Alberga, Jay Rosehill, and Zack Phillips break down Canada’s emphatic 5-0 beatdown of Czechia in its Milan Games opener. Additionally, they preview the second half of the back-to-back as Canada tangles with Switzerland. They also zero in on the Leafs contingent at the Games — Auston Matthews captaining Team USA and the Swedish duo of William Nylander and Oliver Ekman-Larsson. Speaking of Nylander, he missed another practice on Thursday. While there’s been no official confirmation, it’s clear he’s still managing that lingering groin issue. The guys discuss the level of concern and what it could mean for both Sweden and Toronto down the stretch. Plus, former Canadian Olympic gold medalist and Maple Leafs legend Curtis Joseph stops by to share his thoughts on the tournament and the Maple Leafs as well. #LeafsForever #LeafsMorningTake 🚨 Subscribe to Leafs Nation on Youtube!🚨 ➡️ / @theleafsnation401 SHOUTOUT TO OUR SPONSORS!! 👍🏼Powered by @bet365.

Former NHL goaltender and Maple Leafs icon Curtis Joseph joined Nick Alberga & Jay Rosehill to break down Team Canada’s strong start at the Milan Games and what he’s seeing from Jordan Binnington between the pipes. Joseph called Canada’s opener “flawless,” praising Binnington’s swagger, puck-handling, and ability to rise to the moment when doubted. He explained why confidence is everything for a goaltender, why he’d give Logan Thompson a look in a back-to-back scenario, and why having two goalies ready to go is crucial in a short tournament.

Cujo also reflected on what it means to have NHL players back on the Olympic stage, sharing stories about being around legends like Wayne Gretzky and Mario Lemieux and how those experiences elevate younger stars. The conversation shifted to the Maple Leafs, where Joseph emphasized the importance of consistent, healthy goaltending from Anthony Stolarz and Joseph Woll if Toronto hopes to make noise in tight, playoff-style games. The interview wrapped with Joseph addressing the Leafs’ uphill climb — six points out with 25 games remaining — and delivering a message of belief. He says this team is tougher, built for 2-1 and 3-2 hockey, and if they get in, they can surprise people. #LeafsForever #LeafsMorningTake 🚨 Subscribe to Leafs Nation on Youtube!🚨 ➡️ / @theleafsnation401 SHOUTOUT TO OUR SPONSORS!! 👍🏼Powered by @bet365.

Nick Alberga & Jay Rosehill hit pause at the Olympic break to assess where the Maple Leafs - who enter the break six points out of a playoff spot with 25 games left - really stand. The boys debate what the Leafs should do ahead of the March 6th trade deadline, whether Easton Cowan would benefit from spending the break in the AHL, and which players stand to gain the most from the time off. Plus, former NHLer & TSN Leafs analyst Anthony Stewart stops by to weigh in on the state of the Leafs & the road ahead. #LeafsForever #LeafsMorningTake 🚨 Subscribe to Leafs Nation on Youtube!🚨 ➡️ / @theleafsnation401 SHOUTOUT TO OUR SPONSORS!! 👍🏼Powered by @bet365.

Former NHLer & TSN Leafs Analyst Anthony Stewart joined Nick Alberga & Jay Rosehill to break down Toronto heading into the Olympic break. With the Leafs riding a three-game win streak but still sitting six points back with 25 games to go, Stewart weighed in on whether he’s starting to believe again — and why the goaltending has caught his eye. Stewart also identified the most catchable team in the standings, detailed what he thinks Brad Treliving’s trade deadline approach should look like, and made it clear the Leafs should re-sign Bobby McMann — not trade him. The conversation wrapped with a candid look at what could happen if Toronto misses the playoffs, with Stewart predicting jobs would be lost. After a couple of deep exhales, Stewart closed by planting his flag: he believes the Leafs WILL make the Stanley Cup Playoffs. #LeafsForever #LeafsMorningTake 🚨 Subscribe to Leafs Nation on Youtube!🚨 ➡️ / @theleafsnation401 SHOUTOUT TO OUR SPONSORS!! 👍🏼Powered by @bet365.

Nick Alberga and Jay Rosehill are joined by NHL Insider David Pagnotta to break down a pivotal moment for the Maple Leafs. With today’s Olympic trade freeze looming, the boys ask Pagnotta whether Toronto is expected to make any last-minute moves and what the organization’s broader game plan looks like ahead of the March 6 trade deadline. The Leafs have won three straight, but remain five points out of a playoff spot with 25 games to go — leaving plenty of tough decisions on the table. The conversation hits on Bobby McMann’s value, the futures of Brad Treliving and Craig Berube, Morgan Rielly’s situation, and how aggressive (or patient) Toronto can afford to be. #LeafsForever #LeafsMorningTake 🚨 Subscribe to Leafs Nation on Youtube!🚨 ➡️ / @theleafsnation401 SHOUTOUT TO OUR SPONSORS!! 👍🏼Powered by @bet365.

Former Leafs prospect netminder Justin Pogge joined Nick Alberga & Jay Rosehill to take a stroll down memory lane. Pogge caught us up on life after playing, including his current role as goalie coach for the AHL’s Abbotsford Canucks, and shared the biggest lessons from his career that now shape his coaching philosophy. He reflected on a true full-circle moment serving as a goalie coach for Canada’s World Junior team, two decades after starring for the country at the same tournament. The conversation also turned to Toronto’s crease. Pogge weighed in on Joseph Woll, explained why he’s high on Dennis Hildeby, and discussed his belief in big goaltenders and the value of net coverage and surface area. Finally, Pogge addressed the elephant in the room: his connection to Tuukka Rask and the infamous trade that sent Rask to Boston for Andrew Raycroft, with Pogge anointed as Toronto’s goalie of the future. He opened up on the behind-the-scenes pressure of being “the guy” the Leafs kept, and what it was like navigating those expectations as Rask went on to a sensational NHL career. #LeafsForever #LeafsMorningTake 🚨 Subscribe to Leafs Nation on Youtube!🚨 ➡️ / @theleafsnation401 SHOUTOUT TO OUR SPONSORS!! 👍🏼Powered by @bet365.

Former Maple Leafs GM and longtime NHL broadcaster Gord Stellick joined Nick Alberga and Jay Rosehill to break down the current state of the Leafs. Stellick opened with his reaction to the loss in Seattle and his surprise at where this team finds itself right now. From there, the conversation turned to the blame game—and whether everything should be on the table, including the possibility of moving one of the core players like William Nylander or Auston Matthews. The guys also dove into the trade deadline, Brad Treliving’s future, and put Gord back in the GM’s chair, asking what his first move would be if he were running the team again. The episode wraps up with a discussion on the direction of the organization, Stellick’s belief that the Leafs can retool and bounce back next season, and where MLSE President Keith Pelley fits into all of it. #LeafsForever #LeafsMorningTake 🚨 Subscribe to Leafs Nation on Youtube!🚨 ➡️ / @theleafsnation401 SHOUTOUT TO OUR SPONSORS!! 👍🏼Powered by @bet365.

2009 Stanley Cup–winning head coach Dan Bylsma joined Nick Alberga & Jay Rosehill to weigh in on a listless Maple Leafs team searching for answers. Bylsma put himself in Craig Berube’s shoes, detailing how he would approach Toronto’s matchup in Seattle following an ugly 0-4-1 homestand. With 29 games left and the Leafs sitting eight points out of a playoff spot, the pressure is mounting — and Bylsma broke down what it’s like to coach through moments like this and how to navigate a room when things start to unravel. The former Penguins bench boss also reflected on coaching Sidney Crosby, what teams truly need from their captains and leaders to pull out of a skid, and whether this Leafs group is capable of going on a late-season run. Bylsma didn’t mince words, offering a blunt assessment of where Toronto stands, while also dissecting Berube’s post-game decision to publicly call out team defense and goaltending following the 7–4 loss to Buffalo — and just how delicate that balance is for coaches in today’s NHL. #LeafsForever #LeafsMorningTake 🚨 Subscribe to Leafs Nation on Youtube!🚨 ➡️ / @theleafsnation401 SHOUTOUT TO OUR SPONSORS!! 👍🏼Powered by @bet365.
