Sucks to be Cher, but we can turn back time. Join us as we travel back to a time where Adam Brooks was briefly a Leaf, the Canadian women had just won gold, and the Habs were trading Tyler Toffoli. So young, so innocent. Come for the hockey, stay for the celebration of our favourite hockey-related thread.
Sometimes you just have to take a minute to laugh at other teams’ misfortune. Join Liz & producer Emily as they have a good chuckle over Arizona’s new arena, the Oilers’ new coach, and how little we care about Olympic Men’s hockey. Come for the Leafs talk, stay for the Olympic figure skating discussion.
This week we find out what happens when Helen and Liz are left to their own devices on a Wednesday evening. Chaos, it’s mostly chaos. Somewhere along the way, we talk Rocky Wirtz (ugh), consider how to sic Eugene Melnyk on The Dread Convoy, and do a deep dive on all things All Star, including some of our own ideas for improvements. As always, NHL we are waiting for your call.
Same ol’ shhh but a different day, as One Direction so wisely said. Join us as we discuss Willie O’Ree’s number being retired, the return of Evander Kane, racism in hockey culture, and so much more!
Can you believe we made it to 100 episodes?! Join us and the RGP OG’s, Kyra & Mel, as we discuss Covid and the NHL (this is a recording), Evander Kane and his never-ending chances, the NHL All-Star Weekend, and so much more!
It’s that time of year again, time to set aside our differences and spread joy through gift giving … even if that means forgiving Muzzin for his assassination attempts. And definitely NOT forget to choose a gift for our dear captain, John Tavares. Would never do that. Ever.
‘Tis the season to… worry about Mitch Marner mostly, actually. This week, Helen and Liz try to keep up a positive attitude in the face of too many Leafs; injuries. Arizona really couldn’t do us a solid and get locked out of their arena, huh? Still, we persevere and discuss this extremely chaotic week in games, suggest some non-Bieber celebrities to be the face of the Leafs, and finish off by casting our own hockey versions of some Hallmark Holiday romances with the help of our lovely producer Em...
Sometimes people don’t do their jobs and bad things happen. And if you’re the NHL, this happens almost weekly. Join us as we yell about NHL reffing for a not-insignificant amount of time, laugh at the spree of NHL firings, and get derailed talking about the Tkachuks — so the usual.
There are good ships and wood ships, ships that sail the sea, but the best ships are friendships. This week Helen and Liz value the power of friendship, or ferda as it’s known in these here parts. Join us as we discuss the Superbuddies, New Jersey’s new jerseys, and the opposite of ferda: biting the boys.
As Stevie Nicks so hauntingly sang: time makes you bolder, even [hockeys] get older, and I’m getting older too. Join us this week as we discuss Dion Phaneuf’s retirement and the complicated feelings that brought on, Covid and the NHL, the reality check of watching the Leafs with a Sens fan, and play an absolutely horrifying game of Leafs Would You Rather that Liz has yet to recover from. Sorry Auston, I said what I said.
This week, Liz and Helen take us on a journey through the dark side of Tik Tok, speculate about who ruined the relaxed dress code for the rest of us, and decide which Leaf is having a whole breakdown over Red (Taylor’s Version). They also talk about some hockey.
Join us this week as we discuss Mrazek’s injury, Jack Eichel’s freedom, and check in on our favourite family, the Tkachuks. Have the Tkachuks played Boar on the Floor? Something tells me yes.
Hockey was a mistake. This week we discuss the ongoing sexual abuse investigation happening in Chicago, including player reactions, the fallout of the report, and Kyle Beach’s interview with Rick Westhead. Also discussed in this episode: Morgan Rielly’s contract extension, Mitch Marner’s new teeth, and the Leafs’ week in games. Chicago Blackhawks & Kyle Beach discussion timestamps: 1:31 - 48:41
Gather round and grasp your neighbours’ hand. We’re starting a prayer circle. This week we breakdown the vibes of our 3 losses, our feelings about how the Leafs look, and why we need to all take a collective breath. It’s only game, why you have to be mad?
The Leafs are playing real, meaningful hockey again but more importantly? Mitch cannot read the word encyclopedia. As far as Liz is concerned, nothing else of importance happened this week. Join us as we discuss the Leafs’ first week back, both in terms of content & games, the mess that is the Ottawa Senators, and Harry Styles: noted Canes fan? The 1D to hockey pipeline might be too powerful.
It’s our All or Nothing extravaganza! Join us as we break down the Leafs’ All or Nothing season episode by episode, discussing important matters such as: how large Zach Bogosian is, why Brendan Shanahan is the supreme Nylander defender, what the hell the secret coffee club is, and why Jack Campbell makes us want to scream.
Hello and welcome to season 4 (!!!) of Real Gud Pros. We’re off our ELC and have signed a controversial bridge deal. This week we discuss Sheldon Keefe’s contract extension, medical malpractice and the NHL, and make our season predictions. How wrong will we be? How much Leafs’ bias is too much Leafs’ bias? Will we ever learn to manage expectations? All signs point to no. Further reading and show notes available on our website .
We’re finally closing the book, locking it shut, and throwing away the key on the 2020/2021 NHL season. Good riddance you stupid league. Join us as we discuss free agency season so far, Dubas’ weird Soo Greyhounds fetish, and (as always) league shenanigans.
We’re back — but only for a moment! Your favourite Leafs podcast return for a little check-in. See what’s happening, what the cool jams are. Join us as we discuss the Week of Drafts (Expansion AND Boy Auction), our new gay son Luke Prokop, and express our disappointment and disgust with the Montreal Canadiens, Chicago hockey team, and the NHL in general, if we’re being honest. Discussion of Logan Mailloux and the ongoing allegation against former Chicago Blackhawks coach, Brad Aldrich: Mailloux:...
This week your hosts reached Leafs enlightenment. Genuinely. Like we reached another place of understanding and acceptance. It’s kind of incredible really. We also discuss suspensions and DoPS because when don’t we, noted witch Taylor Hall, and which Leaf should have a hot girl summer. Still waiting for our crop tops in the mail, Kyle.
If I could turn back time / if I could find a way / to help this team figure out how to score against the goddamn Habs Well, let’s take a trip back to a time where we were actually not that young or naive because hey, we’re Leafs fans! Join us as we let it all out … no literally we take a 5 min rant break each. We hope this is cathartic for you considering what was to come. Come for the screaming about powerplays, stay for the incredibly in-depth discussion on the Leafs’ various love languages. ...
It’s been a bit of a rough week for us all, I think, and we hope this episode brings you all a bit of levity! We discuss games 1 and 2 of the Leafs/Habs playoff series and all that entails, the audacity of George Paros and the DoPS, and brainstorm how JT should spend his recovery time. Gentle negging ahead! Time Stamps: John Tavares discussion — please note it does come up throughout the episode, but majority of the conversation takes place from: 3:50 - 32:33 Nazem Kadri suspension discussion: 5...
Playoffs are just around the corner, but we’ve got a season to finish first … apparently. The NHL vs. making sense. This week we discuss the upcoming series against the Habs and the ridiculousness of the so-called goalie controversy, how the rest of the league is doing where playoffs are allowed already, Some Guy™ joining the Kraken, and the absolutely grade A batshit insane situation in Buffalo. We hope you enjoy questions because we answered a lot of them this week! From relationship advice to...
Welcome to our weekly Leafs & Tom Wilson podcast where we talk about our two favourite topics: the Leafs and Tom Wilson. Join us as we discuss a double clinch (whoaaa double clinch), the epic love story of Mitch and Auston, and Liz’s favourite topic, mullets. Especially Mitch mullets. That’s the good sh*t. We also break down the Tom Wilson shenanigans but, as we’re a Leafs and Tom Wilson podcast, we’re sure you guessed we would. CW: discussion of Jake Virtanen and sexual assault ~41:50-51:10...
Another week, another discussion of naked Joe Thornton. This week on Real Gud Pros we discuss the multitudes that Zach Bogosian contains, release our true Zach Hyman feelings, scream (in a fun way) about player goalies, scream (in a bad way) about the IIHF as well as Robin Lehner’s need to read the room, and weep openly over Patrick Marleau. Come for the hockey talk, stay for the discussion on whether hockey players Get™ Venom.
Guess who’s back, back again. RGP is back, tell a friend. Sometimes life gets in the way and weirdly enough, hockey pauses for no podcast. Join us as we catch up on the trade deadline, yell about the NHL and Covid (starting to get deja vu here), yell even louder about transphobia in the NWHL, and then go back to our normal register to discuss the leafs who, despite what our memory tells us, did fairly well over the past few weeks. Recency bias sure is a b*tch, huh?
Let’s take a trip back in time to approximately 3 weeks ago when the delightful Keeks joined us! We break down Mitch being the best boy in the entire world, the beginning of Fred’s mysterious ailment, refs behaving badly, and hey! the first postponed game in the North division from Covid … I’m sure that’ll just be a blip, right Vancouver?
We’re walking the tightrope between laughing at others and fretting our own fates, but I’m going to be honest, we’re leaning heavily to one side. Join us as we say goodbye to * checks notes * Jimmy Vesey? Really? Ok. — welcome Galchenyuck to the line-up, review Dubas’ mid-season presser, and rejoice in the return of our beloved Leaf to Leaf. Laugh with us at the misfortune of Buffalo and Philadelphia and despair over the save percentage of Frederik Andersen. Multitudes, we got ‘em.
Who amongst us wouldn’t dedicate our new video to our beloved sports team if we had the chance? This week we discuss the cinematic masterpiece that is the Hold On “love letter to the Maple Leafs”, new goalies, the deteriorating mental health of NHL players (same), and broadcast deals we’re too pretty to understand. Also, are we just a boyband podcast disguised as a hockey pod? That’s for the jury to decide.
Welcome to the first annual meeting of the Leafs’ Ferda Committee. We’re here to ensure optimum levels of Ferda are met at all times. This week we talk about Babcock again, which we kinda hate so can he stop reappearing? We also discuss the revolving door NHL hiring system, just how stupid the Department of Players’ Safety is, and realize we have our own Walter Gretzky story.
