Step into the lab. This is the Leafs Lab Podcast, hosted by Michael (LeafZone44) and Jordan (Willyston Riellander), a space built for deeper thinking around the Toronto Maple Leafs. When the conversation around this team stays surface-level, we go the other direction. Every episode breaks down not just what's happening, but why it's happening—from roster decisions and systems to front office philosophy and long-term vision. If you’re looking for hot takes, this isn’t it. This is where analysis meets curiosity, where every angle gets examined, and where the details actually matter. Welcome inside the lab, let’s get to work. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
