08 Jun 2021Rink Rat Report Podcast: What is going on with the Hockey?01:31:28

Listen, talking about Mitch Marner golfing, moronic trade proposals and other rumours that don't matter is not going to be exciting.

We've decided to save the Leafs talk until after the Stanley Cup has ended. This episode we go through each series, give our takes and analysis and draft 2 players we like from each series. Also a good look at what a power play is supposed to look like.

If we sound salty about the MTL vs. WPG. series well it's because we are. Deal with it.

Finish it off with some Rat Race.

Good episode. 10/10 would listen.

22 Mar 2023Should Auston Matthews Fly Solo or Play With Marner? | Leafs 22/23 | March 21, 202300:58:46

Welcome back to the Rink Rat Report podcast, where we bring you weekly updates on everything happening in Leaf land. This week the Buds pulled out two wins lost one game in overtime and lost another game in regulation. Today the boys get into a quick recap of the disgusting display of the Leaf against the Islanders. Then they talk about the struggles the team has been facing since the trade deadline and how they have been, uncharacteristically, struggling to win the expected goals battle. Finally, we discuss all of the line juggling from both the forwards and the defense, if Auston Matthews can fly solo on his own line, and our ever-changing game-one forward lineup.

Welcome back to the Rink Rat Report podcast! In this episode, we dive into the Leafs' disappointing performance in game 3 of the playoff series against the Panthers.

We start by breaking down the garbage that was game 3. The Leafs played poorly, and their star players continued to perpetuate the narrative around them. We discuss how Mitch Marner, Auston Matthews, and John Tavares were terrible on the ice, and how the Leafs need to step up their game if they want to have a chance in this series.

Next, we touch on the refs and how their decisions affected the game. We analyze some of the controversial calls and non-calls and discuss the impact they had on the game's outcome.

We then move on to the lineup for the next game and consider possible changes that the Leafs may make. We look at players who could be moved up or down the lineup and how it could affect the team's performance.
