  • LTL Quick Hits Volume 3: Talkin' about the PWHL with Cheryl Pounder

    LTL Quick Hits Volume 3: Talkin' about the PWHL with Cheryl Pounder
    Jul 31 2024

    Welcome to another episode of Ladies Talkin’ Leafs Quick Hits! It’s Patio Season and we hope everyone is having a great summer!

    In this instalment we revisit episode 5 from earlier this season where we welcomed former Olympian, as well as Hockey Analyst and Broadcaster Cheryl Pounder to discuss the Professional Women's Hockey League (PWHL) and the excitement surrounding its inaugural season. Cheryl highlighted several of the teams and players to watch out for, including players like Carla McLeod and Brianne Jenner from Ottawa, Alina Mueller from Boston, and Marie-Philippe Poulin from Montreal. She also mentioned the depth of talent in the league, with players coming from college and showcasing their skills. Cheryl was the perfect guest to have on to showcase the League for us, and after speaking with her, we could hardly wait for the PWHL season to start. A few months later, we now know that the league definitely came as advertised and we could not be happier with the visibility and growth that women's hockey has seen over this season. Next season is sure to be every bit as exciting and we encourage everyone to support the teams and watch the games.

    We hope you enjoyed this Quick Hit. While its been a little quiet on the Leaf front of late, its almost time to prep for pre-season, We'll be back on August 7th with the latest from Leaf Land, and around the NHL. Hope you'll join us. Go Leafs Go!

  • LTL Quick Hits Volume 2: Talkin’ ‘93 and ‘94 Leafs Playoffs with Mark Osborne

    LTL Quick Hits Volume 2: Talkin’ ‘93 and ‘94 Leafs Playoffs with Mark Osborne
    Jul 24 2024

    Welcome to Ladies Talkin’ Leafs Quick Hits! It is our Patio Season, but as we mentioned in our previous episode we will be with you all summer long!

    In this episode, we take you back to our recent interview from our 100th episode, with former Leafs player Mark Osborne. It was so great to interview him and of course we could not resist asking Mark about the ‘93 and ‘94 playoff runs. Mark shared with us his special memories from those exciting years for Leaf players and LeafsNation. He talked about the team's resilience and the special moments that defined those playoff runs. It seriously gave us goosebumps hearing him recount his experience and brought back all those memories from those glorious playoffs past. Here's to hoping we'll be making a lot more playoff memories in the not too distant future.

    Hope you enjoyed this instalment of LTL Quick Hits! While the rest of the hockey world is on hiatus, we're bringing you Leafs content throughout the summer, so be sure to subscribe or follow so you don't miss an episode. See you on the Patio! Go Leafs Go!

  • How Do We Like the Leafs' New-Look?: A Supersized Review of the Draft and Free Agency with Mike Augello

    How Do We Like the Leafs' New-Look?: A Supersized Review of the Draft and Free Agency with Mike Augello
    Jul 3 2024
    This has been one exciting week for the NHL! Before the dust had even settled on an electric Stanley Cup win by the Florida Panthers, the league pivoted right to the NHL Awards, followed in quick succession by the Draft at Sphere and the opening of the Free Agency. For Leaf fans like us this also signalled an end to the lull in Leafs news, giving us lots to talk about in a jam packed show, our first of Patio Season! We start the conversation discussing the NHL draft and free agency, and touch on the moves made by the Maple Leafs. The draft at Sphere in Las Vegas was a real spectacle, giving us lots to discuss as we share our thoughts on the Leafs' draft picks. Then we turn our attention to the team's signings prior to the opening of free agency, including Max Domi, Timothy Liljegren, and Joseph Woll. For the Third Period, we welcome back our LTL Insider Mike Augello to break down the signings made by the Leafs during the opening hours of the NHL free agency period, getting Mike's insights on the team's moves in terms of goaltending, defense, and forward positions. We also discuss the signings and trades made by other teams in the Atlantic Division, as well as give our opinions on the winners and losers of free agency so far. To close the show, we sadly say goodbye to another former Leaf as we reflect on the passing of Sergei Berezin and share our memories of his time with the Team. Before we sign off, we have a programming note. As we enter the off-season and head to the Patio, we'll be moving to a monthly schedule until September. Look for our next episode August 7th, unless some big Leafs' news breaks, in which case we'll have you covered with a bonus episode. 'Til we meet again, enjoy the the sweet summer breezes, company of good friends, and a cool drink or two. Until next time cheers and Go Leafs Go! Takeaways The NHL draft took place at Sphere in Las Vegas, providing a visually stunning experience. The Toronto Maple Leafs' draft picks were met with mixed reactions, with some experts questioning the value of their selections. The Leafs re-signed a few key players, including Max Domi, Timothy Liljegren, and Joseph Woll. The contracts for these players were seen as reasonable given the current market. Durability is a concern for some of the players, but their abilities and potential make them valuable additions to the team. The Toronto Maple Leafs made several signings and trades during the NHL free agency period to address their goaltending, defense, and forward positions. The hosts believe that the Nashville Predators were the biggest winners of free agency, as they made significant additions to their roster, including Stephen Stamkos and Jonathan Marchessault. The hosts discuss the signings and trades made by other teams in the Atlantic Division, including the Boston Bruins, Florida Panthers, and Ottawa Senators. They express their condolences for the passing of former Leafs player Sergey Berezin and highlight his contributions to the team during his time with the organization.
