Just released on YouTube: “The Blue Line Mid Season Podcast” with Mark Fera and myself as we break down the first half of the Toronto Maple Leafs’ 22/23 season. We cover a lot of ground over the 30 minutes, starting with the surprisingly efficient goaltending tandem of Samsonov and Murray, the rock solid defence that has had to overcome a slew of injuries, and the exceptional play of the Core Four forwards.
We also discuss our favourite first year player (Hint: he’s a Swede) and why we think Sheldon Keefe is a frontrunner for coach of the year. We also consider the Leafs’ best game to date and look ahead to possible moves at the trade deadline. We wrap it all up with a lively Matthews-McDavid debate and talk a little Conor Bedard too!
It’s all on the latest TBL video out now as a full-length podcast on YouTube. View it here and check our other socials for bite-size clips. Much more content coming between now and the end of the NHL season. Hit like and subscribe so you don’t miss a single video!
