Just when we thought the Leafs were down and out after a humiliating Game 5 loss at home, they rise from the dead with a gutsy 2-0 win in Florida to force Game 7. Auston Matthews shows up with a clutch goal, and Joseph Woll puts on a clinic with a shutout performance. We break down what changed, who stepped up, and whether this team might actually have some magic left.

The Leafscast vents after the Toronto Maple Leafs deliver their worst playoff performance of the Core 4 era—getting blown out 6–1 at home by the Florida Panthers in Game 3. Now down 3–2 in the series, with their backs against the wall, we break down what’s gone wrong, question the team’s heart and leadership, and debate whether there’s any real hope left. After 8 straight years of playoff heartbreak, is this the final chapter—or can this team still flip the script?

Game 3 had all the makings of a statement win—until it didn’t. The Leafs coughed up the lead, got burned by a few unlucky bounces, and of course, it was Brad Marchand (because of course it was) who played villain with the overtime dagger. We break down what went wrong, who needs to step up, and whether Coach Berube might throw a little extra sandpaper into the Game 4 lineup. The good news? The Leafs still lead the series 2-1. The bad news? We’re all emotionally fragile now. Time to tighten things up, steal one back, and remind Marchand this isn’t 2013 (or 2018, or 2019, or 2024...)

The Leafs take Game 2 in Florida and we’re fired up! We break down the standout performances that led to the win, discuss what the Leafs need to do to keep the series momentum, and let loose on the Panthers’ dirty antics. All that and more in a fired-up playoff edition of The Leafscast.

The Leafs kick off Round 2 with a thrilling 5-4 win over the Florida Panthers, but the story isn’t all celebration. A dirty, sneaky headshot knocks Anthony Stolarz out of the game, casting a shadow over an otherwise strong team performance. The Leafscast breaks down how the Leafs built their lead, what went wrong late, and what comes next with the crease in question heading into Game 2.

The Toronto Maple Leafs are off to the second round after finally closing out the Ottawa Senators with a 4-2 win in Game 6. William Nylander scored twice on his birthday, Max Pacioretty buried the game winner, and Leafs fans everywhere can finally exhale. In this episode, we break down the chaos and joy of that final game, talk about who stepped up (and who still needs to), and look ahead to a much tougher challenge in the Florida Panthers. But mostly—we just enjoy not collapsing for once.

Game 5 just ended, and the vibes are not good. The Leafs get shut out 4-0 by the Senators and now head back to Toronto with old playoff scars being freshly reopened. In this episode, we vent our frustrations, dissect the on-ice failures (what's up with Matthews?), and try to figure out what went wrong after a commanding 3-0 series lead. But it’s not all doom and gloom — we also look ahead to Game 6, what lineup and strategy changes are needed, and whether this team can still flip the script. Buckle up.

The Leafs had a golden chance to finish the series — and let it slip away. We break down what went wrong in Game 4, who needs to step up, and why fans should still believe. Plus: lineup adjustments, goaltending thoughts, and what to expect heading back to Toronto.
