Plus, they look ahead to Saturday night as the Oilers roll into town, with Troy Stecher set to face his former team for the first time since being claimed off waivers.

Ryan Reaves returns to Toronto — and to the pod. The former Leaf joined Nick Alberga & Jay Rosehill ahead of his first game back at Scotiabank Arena since being traded to San Jose last summer. Reavo opens up about what’s running through his mind, whether he’s expecting a tribute, and how he reflects on his time in Toronto.

He also weighs in on the Leafs’ rough start, what makes playing in Toronto different from anywhere else he’s been, and how the transition to San Jose has gone as he embraces life on an up-and-coming Sharks squad. Reaves raves about Macklin Celebrini — even going as far as saying he should be on Team Canada — and breaks down the state of fighting in today’s NHL, his dream final bout, and his drive to reach 1000 career games.

Plus, he jokes about having money on the board… even if it’s getting tough with the number of old teams he’s collected along the way.

Nick Alberga & David Pagnotta break down Toronto’s tidy 2–0 win over the Tampa Bay Lightning. Dennis Hildeby stole the show with a 29-save performance to secure his first career NHL shutout, and the Leafs quietly pushed their point streak to five games (4-0-1). With the surge, Toronto now sits just two points back of second place in the division.

Plus, two-time Stanley Cup champion Tyler Johnson — who went back-to-back with Tampa — joins the guys to share his thoughts on the game, & the Leafs’ trajectory.

2x Stanley Cup champion Tyler Johnson joined Nick Alberga & David Pagnotta for a wide-ranging chat following Toronto’s 2-0 win over Tampa. Johnson shared his perspective on Dennis Hildeby’s 29-save shutout — the first of his NHL career — and whether it’s tougher for shooters when there’s no scouting book on a young goalie.

The guys also dove into the ever-tight Atlantic Division race, with the Leafs sitting just three points back of first despite a turbulent start. Johnson discussed Craig Berube’s influence, what a true championship mindset looks like, and whether he believes this Toronto team is actually built for playoff success.

Having faced the Leafs during the height of the Core Four era, Johnson reflected on why Toronto could never push through when it mattered most. Plus, he emphasized the importance of depth scoring for contenders and shared his insights on Leafs assistant coach Derek Lalonde, whom he previously worked with in Tampa.
