## Resource

Toronto Maple Leafs fans wrestle with Mitch Marner’s playoff explosion for the Vegas Golden Knights—did the Leafs give up on him too early, and could they risk making the same mistake with Auston Matthews? Mike DiStefano and Dave Morassutti break down Marner’s playoff resurgence after leaving Toronto, comparing Pacific Division competition to the gruelling Atlantic. The discussion shifts to Matthews’ uncertain future and the fan base’s mounting impatience—should the Maple Leafs commit to their perennial 50-goal scorer or consider a blockbuster trade? Mike and Dave also discuss Macklin Celebrini being named captain for Team Canada and the Toronto Marlies’ Calder Cup run.
