The 2022/23 Toronto Maple Leafs season is nearly underway and JD has you totally covered for everything blue and white! We start with Steve Dangle, who gives us the fan perspective on this season including: the mindset for the team this year, Nick Robertson’s future in Toronto, and potential scapegoats on the roster (05:35). Next, Hockey Hall of Famer and former Toronto Maple Leaf goaltender Ed Belfour (22:17) joins JD to talk about his career off the ice, before looking back on his move to Toronto, what it meant to his career, being part of a tandem, his experience with goalie coaches, and Andrei Vasilevskiy’s legacy. Later on, Justin Bourne of Real Kyper & Bourne joins JD in-studio to get into the specifics of this year’s Leafs squad! (47:34) They go over the goaltending tandem of Matt Murray and Ilya Samsonov, the favourites in the Atlantic Division, how the familiarity of this team could affect their performance, and how the lines will shape up for tonight’s season opener. Finally JD, Josiah and Pete take an early look at the Thursday nighter between the Bears & Commanders, presented by DraftKings! (1:28:34) The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the hosts and guests and do not necessarily reflect the position of Rogers Sports & Media or any affiliates.
