Curse Broken: The Leafs (Finally) Win a Series!
They’ve done it! The Maple Leafs have ended their 19-year playoff curse! In honour of the Leafs advancing to Round 2, Ailish - as promised - kicks off the show by applying some blue lipstick! Then, she and Justin discuss John Tavares’ Game 6 OT winner, the improved maturity of this Leafs team, Auston Matthews imposing his will during this series, Sheldon Keefe’s bold decision to go with an 11-and-7 alignment in Game 6, and the celebration in Toronto on Saturday night. Afterwards, Brent Gunning - friend of the show - stops by to chat about his viewing experience on Saturday night, the pure jubilation of seeing the Leafs win a playoff series, their second round matchup against the Florida Panthers, and what constitutes a successful post-season (34:22).
