Reviews

4.8 out of 5 stars from 2k ratings
  • Vally

    Although it’s very Leaf centric, Kip and Bourne often have fantastic guests on the show, almost daily. The BEST one of all is Vally’s View where Steve Valiquette breaks down hockey analytics better than anyone else out there.

    I feel badly for Sam, the tortured leaf fan.

    I like that you guys dig deep into what’s happening with the teams play. Bourne could work for an nhl club with his analysis.

Pressure to Perform with Former Canadien Kirk Muller

Around the NHL with Shayna Goldman
Q: Who were the Heart Trophy finalists and what was Goldman's take on them?

Around the First Round with David Amber
Q: What did you make of the Crosby embellishment discussion and the different viewpoints on whether it was justified to call embellishment against him?
The hosts acknowledge Crosby's exceptional track record but emphasize that embellishment calls can stand on their own and should be evaluated on the play, with some arguing for consistency regardless of reputation, while others defend Crosby's standing.
Leafs Hour: Bottom-Five Focus + True or False!
Q: True or false? If the Leafs get the first overall pick, they'll select Gavin McKenna.
