Leafs Morning Take

Nick Alberga & Jay Rosehill break down the Toronto Maple Leafs’ 6–4 win over the Anaheim Ducks, a victory that snapped their ugly eight-game losing streak and marked Toronto’s first win since February 3.

The boys break down the hit & discuss what discipline—if any—should come from the league.Meantime, the Leafs visit Buffalo & Minnesota this weekend, so you will get a full preview of that. Plus, hear from future Hall of Famer Max Scherzer, who stops by the show once again to talk about his return to the Blue Jays, leadership, accountability, and the pressure of playing in Toronto.🚨 Subscribe to Leafs Nation on Youtube!🚨➡️  / @theleafsnation401  SHOUTOUT TO OUR SPONSORS!!👍🏼Powered by @bet365.

He also shares a great family story about his daughter writing a letter to Santa asking for her dad to come back to the Blue Jays. From there, Max reflects on the club’s heartbreaking Game 7 loss in the World Series and why he believes there’s still unfinished business in Toronto.The conversation also touches on Scherzer’s spring debut, where he’s at physically, and the plan moving forward as he prepares for another season. Known for his legendary intensity, Scherzer dives into what accountability and leadership mean to him—something that naturally leads to a discussion about the pressure that comes with playing in Toronto, especially for teams like the Toronto Maple Leafs.With Toronto’s leaders taking plenty of heat this season, Scherzer explains how great competitors stay confident, motivated, and hungry when their team is struggling. The guys also compare Scherzer’s relentless edge to longtime NHL agitator Corey Perry, and Max talks about the pride he takes in still competing like a bulldog at 41.Plus, Scherzer reflects on what ultimately clicked inside the Blue Jays clubhouse last season after a slow start, the importance of culture for teams expected to win, and why he’d love to get out to a Leafs game in April to see Alex Ovechkin play in Toronto—potentially for the final time.#LeafsForever #LeafsMorningTake🚨 Subscribe to Leafs Nation on Youtube!🚨➡️ / @theleafsnation401SHOUTOUT TO OUR SPONSORS!!👍🏼Powered by @bet365.

Nick Alberga & Jay Rosehill are joined by Toronto Sun columnist Steve Simmons to break down the fallout from the Maple Leafs’ trade deadline and where the organization goes from here. Simmons weighs in on Toronto being sellers for the first time in a decade, why he believes the Leafs likely won’t finish bottom five (and could lose their first-round pick to Boston from the Carlo trade), and why he thought the team’s deadline was “fine” given the circumstances.They also discuss the future of the front office and coaching staff, including why Simmons doesn’t sense an appetite to move on from Brad Treliving this summer—and why there’s a scenario where both Treliving and Craig Berube return next season. Plus, Simmons revisits the idea he floated of Chris Pronger as a potential team president, while noting there still may not be interest from MLSE in bringing back the position after Brendan Shanahan’s departure.Additionally, the conversation touches on the Leafs’ biggest organizational issue—roster construction—Auston Matthews’ dip in production under Berube, the impact injuries had on the season going off the rails, and how the blame should be distributed for a disastrous campaign.#LeafsForever #LeafsMorningTake🚨 Subscribe to Leafs Nation on Youtube!🚨➡️ / @theleafsnation401SHOUTOUT TO OUR SPONSORS!!👍🏼Powered by @bet365.

Nick Alberga & Jay Rosehill are joined by Brian Burke to break down the state of the Toronto Maple Leafs ahead of the NHL trade deadline. Burke weighs in on Toronto’s handling of rookie Easton Cowan and explains what typically happens behind the scenes between a GM and coach during deadline week. The conversation stems from Craig Berube telling reporters there would be no “roster management” scratches—only for Bobby McMann, Scott Laughton, and Oliver Ekman-Larsson to sit out against the New Jersey Devils hours later.Burke says he’s stunned the Leafs find themselves in this position—potential sellers for the first time in a decade—and admits he’s puzzled by the team’s lack of intensity. He places the blame squarely on the players, not Berube. Burke also outlines what his deadline strategy would be, including maximizing the return on Ekman-Larsson and potentially moving Laughton and McMann if the price isn’t met.Plus, Burke weighs in on the big questions surrounding the roster—whether he’d ever consider moving Auston Matthews or William Nylander, why Matthews is a hard no, and why he’d at least listen on Nylander. He also defends Morgan Rielly, saying the market has unfairly turned on him, before giving his honest assessment on whether this Leafs team can turn things around quickly. 🏒#LeafsForever #LeafsMorningTake🚨 Subscribe to Leafs Nation on Youtube!🚨➡️ / @theleafsnation401SHOUTOUT TO OUR SPONSORS!!👍🏼Powered by @bet365.
