S2 Ep90: The Leafs, The league, and No Easy Answers: Gord Stellick on Toronto's Re-Set & the NHL's Off-Season.

Daren Millard and John Shannon sit down with hockey insider Gord Stellick for a candid conversation spanning decades of Toronto Maple Leafs history.

Gord pulls back the curtain on his time working under the notorious Harold Ballard, revealing how Ballard manipulated media coverage for attention and surrounded himself with the wrong people — decisions that crippled the franchise for years.He then turns to the present, calling this past season the most disappointing in Maple Leafs history, pointing to injuries, poor goaltending, and special teams failures as the key culprits — all while marveling at a fanbase that has stood by a team that hasn't won a Stanley Cup since 1967.

The conversation broadens to cover Patrick Kane's return to Chicago, the ongoing Jason Robertson contract standoff in Dallas, and the growing pressures social media places on modern players. Throughout it all, Gord makes the case that keeping the fun in hockey remains more important than ever.
