This hour of Overdrive is powered by FanDuel. FanDuel, bringing you everything from the opening line to the final score.
Alright, here we go. Overdrive off and running. TSN 1050 on the TSN app, your home smart speaker. And up on TSN4, Brian Hazio, Doug Jeff O'Neill, Jamie Noodles, McLennan. What's going on? What's going on?
What's going on, panel mate? Yes.
How are we feeling? How are we feeling the day after what was a wild night?
As my good buddy Chris Drury just let the Rangers fans know, this show is a retool. Not a complete rebuild, a retool. Okay, yeah.
Man, the Rangers love sending letters out.
Love letters to their fans. You only get one every 20 years, I think. I don't think you can go back to the well. I know the last one was probably seven or eight years ago. I don't think you can go the letter route again. Not after they're screaming mad. And I don't know what else you can do. I mean, I always say, like, there's been a lot of talk. And when I started in this business, people were like, people in Toronto will never stand for a rebuild. They'll never tear it down. Whatever market you're in has to put up with whatever you're doing.
What happened in the Maple Leafs' recent game against the Golden Knights?
It's not like they're going to veto anything or stop it. It's like, this is what we got, so deal with it. So I don't know. They're awful, though.
And that's what happens whenever they're bad. It's like, just fire up a letter.
Send a love letter out to everybody. At least there's some communication, though, guys.
Sure enough.
People have been, where's Tom Fitzgerald? What's going on in Jersey? I guess there is questions. That being said, though, They've been dominated on home ice this year all season long, and then the last couple times have been like a 10 spot and then an 8 spot. Like, it's ugly. The fans are pissed. I just don't know if that's – I think it's different. Hayes, you can speak to this, but that's a single owner. That's one guy that Chris Drury calls up or he calls and gets instructions from. In Toronto, in other cities and other organizations – You're answering to a board. You're answering to other entities. Dallas Cowboys, New York Rangers, New York Knicks because it's the same guy. It's rare that it's just one guy.
And I get the impression Dolan is fond of a letter. He likes a letter. Send a letter out. If you were to pen a letter, I love saying that. You can't say write. I'm going to pen a letter to the Toronto sports fan today. What message would you send after the Leafs... They threw that game away last night. On four different occasions, they had a two-goal lead. That's almost impossible not to get two points. Yes, they got one, but Hurdle scores with seven seconds left. We're all on the panel. We're all there. Everyone's watching. You can feel it. You can just smell it coming. There's no way this isn't going to overtime. And then Aiko with a beauty ends it. And then while we're there waiting for the game, Tucker signs with the Dodgers.
And this morning, Bichette signs with the Mets.
Crazy.
What a 24-hour rundown. So go ahead, get your pen out, write a letter. What are you saying to the people of Toronto?
Well, the first thing I would want to tell the people of Toronto is I see some chatter online about Austin Matthews. And I just want to address one thing. The guy's been asked about Mitch Marner recently. a million times. He made it clear back in the summer. It's like, guys, really, the Mitch questions. It seems like that's a common theme with Toronto. Like, what do you think about this? It's like, if you answer it once, like, isn't that enough? And listen, I do understand, and Mark Masters is a colleague of ours. He's also a big boy, and he was a little bit snarky with Mark, which is... Mark's a big boy. He can handle that. But, I don't know, you're in the middle of a game, and you're asked about that, and people are like...
like i don't know it's just the guy's been why why don't we play it why don't we play it for people that missed it so this was before the game this was before the game masters was doing a little sit or i guess a quick chat with matthews yeah he's getting off the ice after you know at the end of the warm-up the two of them were the last ones off the ice which is what they used to do in toronto matthews and marner marner shot a puck down jokingly adam and
