  • Dumb Reviews

    Some of these reviews are absurd! This podcast is the best, and Jonas is the reason I joined the athletic in the first place. Great show with a smart approach to the game. I haven’t missed a show in 3 years. Anything Jonas is on is much watch, but I stay for James’ jokes!

    I want to enjoy the podcast but there needs to be a better balance of negative and positive narratives.

  • Not it

    Jonas has the most brutal takes I ever heard. For example “ if you trade lilligren and you look at that defence, what do you got?” A better defence Jonas

Maple Leafs with more questions than answers on the eve of training camp
Q: Do you think there's any way that they're not worse?
I think they can be pretty close to what they were last year.
Maple Leafs with more questions than answers on the eve of training camp
Q: What do you think that's going to look like? How do you think that's going to feel?
It's probably the biggest question of the season, isn't it?
State of the Maple Leafs heading into free agency
Q: What's your like overall read on the Marner situation and what happened here?
It's possibly worst-case scenario for his legacy, ending with the hometown guy leaving under strained circumstances.
State of the Maple Leafs heading into free agency
Q: What do you think they should do with the money that they've got?
Definitely don't sign Sam Bennett and consider more strategic and cautious signings, especially looking at players like Brad Marchand under the right financial terms.
State of the Maple Leafs heading into free agency
Q: Are you feeling optimistic or pessimistic with free agency so close now, a little over a week away for the Maple Leafs?
Pessimistic, as the Leafs will likely get worse with Mitch Marner leaving and there's uncertainty about how the front office will handle the cap space effectively.
