About this episode
Ahead of the Toronto Maple Leafs kicking off their 2025-26 season against the Montreal Canadiens, the Leafs Hour returns! Nick Kypreos, Justin Bourne and Sam McKee set the stage for the game, discuss Easton Cowan being a healthy scratch for the home opener, the new-look bottom six, and Matias Maccelli's outlook on the top line. Then, they take a wider view and share their expectations and biggest concerns for the Leafs' season. Later, they discuss the pressure on the team to win this season and what's at stake if the Leafs can't stay a Stanley-Cup competitor without Mitch Marner.
