It’s a short but crazy weeek as we kick off the NHL season. At the beginning of each hockey year we run a total breakdown of both squads involved in the Battle of Ontario and today Jeff Veillette joins Matt to handle the Toronto Maple Leafs side of things.

We’d love it if you’d help out the podcast by leaving us a rating inside your app. It just takes a sec but means a ton to us.

We ask Jeff about how underwhelming offseasons are to be expected for a team like the Leafs, whether the goaltending is really as bad as many think it could be, why the D remains underrated across the league, if this forward group is deeper than it’s been in previous years and finally hit some over/unders for the squad.

Jeff is a wonderfully insightful guest who has a unique take on the team and we always appreciate him making time for us.
