Episode Notes
Mike Zeisberger of NHL.com joins John Shannon and Daren Millard on 100% Hockey to dig into the question on every Toronto fan’s mind — what’s going on with the Maple Leafs? The group breaks down the team’s recent struggles, looking at how new head coach Craig Berube is trying to establish structure, accountability, and identity within a lineup that hasn’t found its rhythm.
They discuss issues with puck possession, defensive zone clears, and leadership inside the dressing room, while comparing Toronto’s approach to teams like Florida and Boston — clubs that seem to have figured out how to play to their strengths. The conversation wraps with thoughts on the Leafs’ long-term outlook, the pressure on their core, and whether this group can still attract and retain the top-end talent needed to compete.
