Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

LFR19 - Game 57 - Bobby McBerta - Maple Leafs 5, Oilers 2
Q: Will there be any videos covering the Olympics like LFR style?
Yes, I will do streams for all the Canadian men's games on the STPN YouTube channel and LFR style videos.
LFR19 - Game 56 - Dialled Willy - Maple Leafs 4, Flames 2
Q: How are you feeling about the power play these last couple of games?
While the Leafs scored on a four on four situation, they have not had many power play opportunities recently, raising concerns about their ability to draw penalties.
LFR19 - Game 49 - Affliction - Wild 6, Maple Leafs 3
Q: How was your night, guys?
Producer Hayden, who is a Minnesota Wild fan, wore a cap saying Producer Hayden to the game and did not throw it when Foligno scored his hat trick.
LFR19 - Game 29 - BEAST - Lightning 0, Maple Leafs 2
Q: Do you think the shutout was all beast or do you feel like their D stepped up too?
Almost anytime there's an NHL shutout, it's because the D played well in front of the goalie.
LFR19 - Game 25 - Did Something - Maple Leafs 7, Penguins 2
Q: What are the chances that this team somehow keeps the exact same team and makes the playoffs?
The current roster needs to make a move; they can't keep the same team and expect to make playoffs.
