Are Changes Really Coming to the Maple Leafs? LTL Insider Mike Augello Says We'll See

Ladies Talkin’ Leafs

It’s just over a week since the Leafs lost Game 7 to the Boston Bruins. A very familiar outcome, and we knew there would be a lot of news coming out of this playoff exit and so here we are with an extra episode!

In this bonus Third Period instalment, we welcome back LTL Insider Mike Augello to discuss the Leafs latest playoff exit, and the fallout, as we head into another early off-season. We get his thoughts on everything from the end of season player comments, including Mitch Marner's remarks, to an analysis of Sheldon Keefe's firing as head coach, as well as debate potential replacements.

The conversation then shifts to the Maple Leafs' post season media availability featuring Keith Pelley, Brendan Shanahan, and Brad Treliving, and together we wonder whether changes are finally coming to the team, and we look at the possibility of trading one of the core and whether its time for a new captain. One things for sure, MLSE has got to get the coaching decision right! We wrap up our chat with Mike by getting his thoughts on the the remaining NHL playoff series and who he is watching, as well as get his final Stanley Cup picks.

While there is lots of apprehension here in Leaf Land, there is still a Toronto hockey club having great success in the Playoffs. Yes, the PWHL playoffs are still ongoing and Toronto has a chance to head to the final! We're so excited to see what a TO PWHL title will bring to the city!

One final personal note, we mentioned during our show that we were invited on CBC radio this past week to discuss Keefe's dismissal and give our post playoff reaction. It was a great experience that would never have come our way without our listeners, and we thank you for helping make us a source for Leafs content! The interview can be found in our show notes.

Another reminder that we'll be moving back to our regular schedule, and heading back to the patio soon, where we'll be chilling and bringing you Leafs news all summer long. This could be a busy time for Leafs' Fans and we'll be here to keep the conversation going throughout the off-season. Go Leafs Go!
