Let’s go clowns, we’re getting mad about the progression of time. This week in Leafs news we bring out our dead as part of our weekly injury updates, discuss the addition of Alex Galchenyuk, and weep over how damn nice of a person Jack Campbell is. We venture out of the North division to remind everyone that Covid does in fact exist, revisit the classic rivalry that is the NHL vs the sun, and watch as Liz almost cries on air over Sidney Crosby’s career.

Welcome to one of our most chaotic episodes to date. Personally, I blame all that love in the air … or maybe the fact Liz and our wonderful guest, Ruby , were heavily caffeinated. With less “real” news this week, we focus our attention on John Tavares becoming the hockey equivalent of an Avon lady, the weird and wacky games of the week, and the importance of mullets. Finally, in the spirit of the season, we hand out some valentines to NHLers across the league. Our sincerest apologies to Michael ...

Apparently we can’t have nice things, go figure. We begin this week mourning the loss of our beloved father Wayne. I know we ask this all the time, but are we cursed? From there we move onto other topics like how covid filled the US divisions are, the suspension of the NWHL season, and frankly, the most important news of the week: does Mitch Marner have a kitten?

Hold your loved ones close, the Leafs are dropping like flies. This week we express regret about the whole blood sacrifice thing … did we accidentally call for Campbell’s demise? We laugh at DeAngelo getting put on waivers, yell about Barstool continuing to exist, and cry with laughter over Tkachuk’s temper tantrum.

Hockey’s back and so are we!! Welcome to Season 3 of Real Gud Pros, the last year of our ELC. Who’s excited for another cursed season that really shouldn’t be happening but is because we live in a capitalist hellscape? We breakdown the condensed pandemic season 2.0 and air our grievances. Alright, now that that’s out of the way, let’s talk hockey. We discuss Nolan Patrick’s upcoming revenge tour, how freakin’ weird it is that Chara is a Capital, and coo over our new boys whose names we may or ma...

What a season it’s been … and by season we mean 1000 years in hell! So if you see us imagining certain One Direction members as Leafs for some serotonin, mind ya business. Join us for our season finale as we speculate what next season will look like if it even happens, yell about racism and hockey culture (the usual), and lighten the mood slightly by revisiting our pre-season predictions. They were … not correct.

*taps mic* Is this thing on? We’re back and ready to discuss everything we’ve missed in the past … week. Yeah, let’s go with that.

Listen, we know what ended up happening. But sometimes it’s good to revisit simpler times, like 3 hours before game 5 of the qualifying series. We were so young, so full of hope. Alas. This week we talk about the NHL’s embarrassing crack at social justice, or should we say solidarity, and real live NHL games! They happened! We miss them already. Listen to us break down the first 4 games of the series against Columbus and dream of a future that didn’t involve a second shut out by Korpisalo....

You know that old saying, if you don’t have anything nice to say, just record a podcast about it? This week Helen and Liz congratulate the Leaf’s beloved captain on his upcoming second child via the medium of accidental roast, offer some thoughts on the recently announced NHL awards, and discuss the investigative prowess of everyone’s favourite intrepid boy reporter, Mitch Marner.

We’re back and so is hockey … which is weird and conflicting and we need to work through our feelings about this. This week we discuss the NHL Draft and our new favourite team, Team E, the new CBA and the NHL’s return to the Olympics, and the elephant in the room, the NHL’s Return the Play plans. It’s a mess, folks. At least we have Hotel X, we’ll always have Hotel X.

Day 5 without hockey. We’ve forgotten the sound of skates on ice. How many teams even are there in the NHL? What’s goalie interference? Oh wait, we never knew that. Well folks, they cancelled sports. This week we talk about the news on everyone’s mind: the coronavirus. But don’t worry, it’s not all pandemic talk! We also talk the forgotten Leaf to Leaf, weird NHL wedding traditions, and how we imagine the Leafs are handling quarantine. Finally, we cast the NHL into different TV Tropes because wh...

We had a normal one in Leafs Land this week – if by normal you mean disregarding players’ humanity because they haven’t been playing up to your standards. Oh and they have sponsorships, so screw ‘em! On a more positive note, we were introduced to the delight that is Len Barrie Sr this week. We break down the Mentor’s Trip Blueprint, the odd couple that is Jake Muzzin and Tyson Barrie, and join Zach Hyman in calling the Leafs’ Player Poll a farce! (Not actually, it was perfect – Zach needs to tak...

Whomst amongst us hasn’t gone on an incredibly popular podcast and been the absolute definition of h*rny on main?

This week, we face a conundrum that no one could ever have seen coming: could it be that there’s actually such a thing as too much Leafs content? We talk Leafs Playlists, Blueprints Galore, what’s going on in the head of one Manic Pixie Dream Nylander, and our willingness to give our lives for one Audrey Holl. Also: the latest stop on the Matthew Tkachuk Friendship Tour turns spicy, our thoughts on the upcoming three-on-three women’s exhibition game at the All Star Weekend, and an investigation ...

Does Frederik Andersen have a Rory McIlroy stan account? Probably not, but we like to think he does. Tune in as we accept the fact Freddie is likely the most boring Leaf, praise the creativity of the nickname Skin Doctor, fret over Freddie’s participation in the All-Star festivities, and tip our jats to a yeehawing good time at the Winter Classic.

Happy Holidays from your pals at Real Gud Pros! The Leafs had a quiet week but that didn’t stop us from spending nearly 30 mins on their “quiet week”. We talk William Nylander’s fashion decisions, the Leafs so-called content strategy, an emotional rollercoaster of a week in the NHL, and yell about the Olympics. We’re not kidding. There’s yelling. To thank the Leafs for a successful western road trip, we host our 2nd annual Leafs Secret Santa!
