  • Show has struggled since the new format

    Show has not been the same since they moved to 2 hours. Segments are often rushed , or missed completely. When they try to get 2 insiders on the show , the 5 of them are talking over each other.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Johnston on Berube's dismissal from the Maple Leafs, the start of a new era and Matthews' future
Q: Do you think Matthews' meeting with the new GM should be on the front burner given all the activity?
Matthews is open to conversations and wants to know the GM and the plan, but the team likely won't overhaul the roster drastically before the draft while these talks unfold, giving the front office time to assemble a coherent strategy.
Johnston on Berube's dismissal from the Maple Leafs, the start of a new era and Matthews' future
Q: Here's Chris Johnston, our TSN hockey insider. CJ, what do you make of the first week on the job for John Chayka? They win the draft lottery, then they end up firing Craig Berube.
Chayka is moving quickly to reshape the organization, signaling a willingness to take risks to prompt a fast turnaround, while maintaining a focus on rebuilding the blue line and aligning the roster with Matthews' timeline.
Johnson on Matthews' incoming meeting with Chayka, the behind-the-scenes of the conversation and Berube's placement
Q: Three principal questions you would ask Auston Matthews.
Johnson suggests asking about his tenure in Toronto, what he wants out of the Maple Leafs to commit long-term, and how long he envisions staying to support a shared vision for future success.
OverDrive - May 13, 2026 - Hour 2 - Peter Laviolette
Q: How important is it to balance the power play and penalty kill in a playoff run?
Both special teams are critical; you want to run them efficiently and aim for a hybrid approach where strong PK supports a productive PP, as goaltending and defense magnify these effects in a tight series.
OverDrive - May 13, 2026 - Hour 2 - Peter Laviolette
Q: Lavi, how would you approach taking over a veteran-dominated team in a major market like Toronto?
Focus on a clear plan, establish identity and culture, and move forward with a practical, forward-looking strategy rather than referencing past failures.
