October Triumph: Mike Augello Joins the Ladies to Talk About the Maple Leafs' Stellar Start
October is in the rearview mirror, and the Leafs have just returned from a stellar road trip, going 3-1-1 and are 5-2 and 1 to start the season! A much improved record when compared to the slow start a year ago. On the cusp on a new month, November could be a wildcard, with a trip overseas, something the Leafs haven’t done in a long time, and never during the regular season.
To kick things off, in "The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly” we take a look at the road trip that was and sing the praises of a couple of our veteran leaders, as well as delve into the challenges on the Penalty Kill. We also lament a trend that we do not want to see make a come-back as our ugly.
In the The Ladies Talkin’ Leafs Highlight Reel we feature standout performances from Matthew Knies, William Nylander, and Morgan Rielly. These 3 gave us multiple plays to celebrate this month. Tune in to see if your favourites made the cut!
Then, we are happy to have our Insider, Mike Augello back on the show for The Third Period to give us his exclusive insights into the Leafs' start to the season.
To wrap up, we preview the upcoming Leafs schedule, including a 5-game home stand and the much-anticipated NHL Global Series in Sweden from November 15th to the 19th. We’ll be heading to Stockholm next month, so be sure to subscribe to our YouTube and socials @LTL1917 so you don’t miss any of our road trip reports!
November can be a pivotal month in the NHL calendar, with American Thanksgiving being the unofficial benchmark fuelling or dashing teams' hopes for making the playoffs. A strong start can go a long way toward securing another invitation to the spring dance. Looking forward to a November to remember. Go Leafs Go!
