The Bleedin’ Blue & White crew kicks off 2026 trying to make sense of a Toronto team that somehow looks flawed, confusing, and red-hot at the same time. Corey, Nick, and Jack break down the Leafs’ strong 5-0-2 run, debate whether the wins are masking deeper issues, and dive into the unexpected edge and physicality showing up in the bottom of the lineup. From hustle and body checks to old-school toughness and uncomfortable truths about what “making a difference” really means, this episode asks the big question Leafs fans can’t stop wrestling with: Is this team actually changing… or just winning for now?

They also discuss Auston Matthews breaking records, the Winter Classic, and take a long look at the teams the Leafs face leading up to the Olympic break.

In this Christmas Spectacular edition of Bleedin’ Blue & White, Corey is joined by Nick, Jack, Peter, and Joel to break down the growing frustration surrounding the Toronto Maple Leafs as the season winds toward the holidays.

The crew debates whether the team’s issues stem from effort, execution, or a deeper lack of identity, with pointed discussion around the top six, coaching direction, and a fan base that’s clearly losing patience. Rising ticket prices, empty seats at Scotiabank Arena, and comparisons to the passion surrounding the Blue Jays and Raptors only add fuel to the fire.

Along the way, the conversation veers into Olympic concerns, Canadian hockey identity, and a few classic side tangents—because it wouldn’t be Bleedin’ Blue & White without them. The episode closes with holiday wishes, cautious optimism, and the shared hope that something finally clicks before more damage is done.

Corey and Nick are back with another episode of all things Toronto Maple Leafs! They kick things off joking about their semi-monthly… monthly-ish? schedule as hockey and the holidays collide, but promise more regular episodes ahead.

The conversation gets rolling with the Leafs’ recent surge — 5-1-1 in their last 7 — and how improved goaltending has helped turn the tide. The boys break down upcoming matchups, debate when backup starts should happen, and caution against overworking the starter as the season gets heavier.

They wrap by teasing their annual Christmas Spectacular, hoping to bring back Pete along with their fully-Canadian brother Joel for holiday chaos and tradition.
