About this episode
JD Bunkis and Sam McKee kick off the 2025-26 Maple Leafs' season preview show with their thoughts on the Blue Jays as they head into the Bronx with a chance to close out the Yankees in three games (00:00). Then, the guys pivot to the NHL to discuss Connor McDavid's surprising two-year contract extension, before getting into their thoughts on the Maple Leafs. They touch on the decision to keep Easton Cowan off the opening roster and waive David Kampf, Max Domi's role in the lineup to begin the year, the situation in goal with the uncertainty around Joseph Woll, the expectations for a healthy Auston Matthews with the absence of Mitch Marner, and the evolution of the team in Craig Berube's second year as Head Coach. After the break, the guys give their thoughts on which Leafs might be get the most criticism, as well as their hottest takes for the 2025-26 season (41:48).
