Preseason Vibes: Evaluating the D, Joe Bowen's Return, and The Sun Survey Says!

Ladies Talkin’ Leafs

Can you believe it, it's just 11 days until the regular season kicks off, and the anticipation for the Leafs' home opener is off the charts! The preseason is well underway, and the Leafs are holding a middling record of 3 wins and 3 losses. Plus, we've got 2 more games to go, with the final two preseason clashes with the Red Wings.

Speaking of things to look forward to, how great is it that the legendary Joe Bowen is back in the booth, calling the shots for the Leafs alongside Jim Ralph? It adds a level of comfort and excitement knowing that we’ll be hearing their familiar call on TSN Radio and The Fan. Leafs hockey would not be the same without these 2 in the booth!

As we get into the heart of the show, it's time to talk about the Leafs defense and goaltending. While the pairings may seem set in stone, we'll share our insights on the performance on the back end in the preseason games so far and give our thoughts on how we think Treliving and Keefe may deploy the D-corps and goaltenders during the regular season.

For our 3rd Period segment, we'll tackle some intriguing questions from a recent Maple Leafs poll conducted by The Toronto Sun. It's always fun to see how our choices compare as well as get a bead on how Leafs Nation is feeling heading into the season.

So, Leafs Nation, buckle up! We've got a fantastic episode lined up with all the Leafs talk you crave. With games that count just around the corner, we couldn't be more excited to be with you for another season talking about the team we all love! Go Leafs Go!
