Ron previews what fans can expect from Saturday Night Hockey alongside Elliotte Friedman, Kevin Bieksa, and Colby Armstrong, while also reflecting on the transition from Hockey Night in Canada and the evolution of Saturday night hockey coverage. The conversation then turns to the Maple Leafs. Ron weighs in on Toronto’s offseason, calling John Chayka “maybe the most important pickup” for the organization. He also has plenty of praise for John Tavares and Gavin McKenna, including what he expects from the young phenom in his first NHL season. Plus, Ron identifies what he believes could be the biggest reason for a Leafs bounce-back season: the power play. 🚨 Subscribe to Leafs Nation on Youtube!🚨 ➡️ / @theleafsnation401 SHOUTOUT TO OUR SPONSORS!! 👍🏼Powered by @bet365.
