Chapter 1: What happened in the Maple Leafs' recent matchup against the Red Wings?
This hour of Overdrive is powered by FanDuel. FanDuel, bringing you everything from the opening line to the final score.
All right, here we go. Overdrive off and running. TSN 1050 on the TSN app. Your home smart speaker up on TSN 4. Brian Hazel, Doug Jeff O'Neill, Frankie Corrado.
What's happening? Why did you guys ask for my leans today regarding the football games? Just going to ignore them again?
No. That was Al's brother. Al's brother wants to be involved. I think that's reasonable. I mean, Frankie, you chime in here because last week we went ā what did we go?
Chapter 2: How is Toronto preparing for the upcoming game against the Golden Knights?
One and one? Or did we go ā I can't remember. No, we went one and one because we lost the Bears. We picked the Rams and Bears. Okay. And O was on the Seahawks big, and they won. And he claims he was on Denver, although it wasn't a very strong push. But, you know, he forgets the week before he had the Eagles winning the Super Bowl, and they got spanked.
And he had Jacksonville beating the Bills, and they lost. Nevertheless, last week he was pushing for certain picks. We chose to not disregard them, but give them to Luke.
Disregard is appropriate.
Disregard is halfway home to what we did there. But Luke maybe was going to pick the opposite side and always going to get his way anyway. We weren't sure what he was going to do.
Chapter 3: What role do Auston Matthews and Joseph Woll play in the team's success?
So now this week... Oh, who was claimed off waivers a few weeks ago, right? He wants to run the whole show. Yeah, but I'm Gustav Forsling. I'm Gustav Forsling. You're Gustav Forsling. All right, so he's going to be as Gustav Forsling. But he just wants, my impression of this, is he makes a call. No back and forth at all.
No conversation where Al's brother and I have been on this journey since week one. We've been riding this wave since September. I don't think it's unreasonable for us to pick his brain on where he's going with this pick.
No, and here's the thing. What is his angle, right? Like, there's analytics GMs.
Chapter 4: What insights does Bruce Boudreau provide on Marner's return to Toronto?
There's guys that are really savvy. Like, Hayes, you're a gambling guy. You're a football guy through and through. Al's brother is the information guy. What, like, oh, what is your angle? Just I got a hunch, and this is my gut feel, and you got to go with it.
I'm the only one that's been in an arena of any significance, and I get a feel. I get a feel.
You get a feel. Cup Final 02 means he knows who's going to win the championship games.
It's also 800-and-something regular season games. I just get a feel for this type of stuff, a vibe, a smell.
He's a vibe guy. Vibe Guy has got to be like third on the list of the hierarchy of making these picks, right? It's like it's analytics one, you're a lifer two, and then Vibe's got to be three.

Chapter 5: How is Toronto's season shaping up in the Atlantic Division?
Vibe Guy is floating around to wherever the hot spot is, right? Vibe Guy is not a foxhole guy. Vibe Guy is not putting in time and effort. Vibe Guy is where's the hot spot. The second that place cools down, Vibe Guy is out of there. Right? Vibe Guy's going somewhere else. He's going wherever the crowd takes him. So Vibe Guy is going to try to save our season.
Basically, we had one of the great seasons in sports history. Some people are saying it's the greatest. And we need to follow and finish it off with a great playoff. And we're behind the eight ball right now. But we'll get to that pick tomorrow. Okay?
Chapter 6: What challenges does the team face with injuries to key players?
We'll get to that pick tomorrow. I think Al's brother, reasonable. Just say, where are you at? Where's your head at? And we'll close it and we'll figure that out tomorrow. We've got a big one today. We're giving away tickets to the Leaf game tomorrow. So we're going to tell you how you can win the tickets to see Mitch Marner's return tomorrow. You want to be at that game.
That's one I think a lot of people are hoping to get into. It coincides with Jay's tickets going on sale today, and I guess that's been... an absolute rat race trying to get into the bigger series, right, when the Yankees roll through town, when the Mets roll through town and Bo Bichette is here. Canada Day, Bo Bichette, New York Mets. I'm guessing those tickets sold out in like five seconds.
It's going to be fun to see.
Chapter 7: How does the current roster impact the Leafs' playoff chances?
I'm intrigued to see. You're not going to sell out every single game. 81 home games, yes, they went to the World Series last year. Yes, there's a ton of hype and there should be. I don't know. You know, midweek, Tampa's in town. Is there 44,000 people at the Dome? We'll find out. I mean, that would be great. But the hype for the season... The answer is no. The answer is no. Probably not.
And listen, Yankee Stadium's not selling out. No. Dodger Stadium's not selling out midweek.
Chapter 8: What strategies might the Leafs employ to navigate the upcoming schedule?
You get the weekend. It gets to Friday, Saturday, Sunday. You got some good opponents in town. You're going to pack the place.
Yes.
Midweek games with Tampa's and Baltimore's around. It's going to be 15,000, 20,000 people.
That's just the way it works. I think it'll be more than 15,000, 20,000. I think that'll be the sign-off. I think it's closer to 28,000, 30,000, 32,000, which is still a great crowd. Great crowd for midweek. And again, I don't benefit from this. I don't care. I'm just projecting what I think the buzz is going to look like once we get to the season. But the tickets are on sale.
And again, we're giving away tickets for the Marner return tomorrow. So tune in this hour to find out how and when you can win those.
Really, let me ask you something. The way you just corrected me in the most ridiculous way. If you were sitting there and someone said, it looks like there's 20,000, do you think you would chirp back and say, I think there would be 28,000?
Yes. I think 8,000, for starters, you said 15 or 20. Dude. And I said 28 to 32. 15 to 20.
20 was the high mark, and you were like... I think around 28 to 32. Yeah, that's right.
You're Masters, and I'm Matthews in this situation. I don't want to hear it. I don't want to hear 15 to 20,000. 28 to 32 is big. The difference between Frankie, I keep going to you as if you're like chat GBT. Hang on a second.
