Leafs-Bruins Culture Gaps w/ Claude Julien + Toronto's First Domino w/ Mike Futa
Listen now
Description
JD starts with his concerns from the Maple Leafs' Game 1 loss. He's joined by Mike Futa, former Stanley Cup-winning executive, to discuss Toronto's need for desperation, Max Domi's passion, Mitch Marner's chance to change his career narrative, and the recipe for the Leafs' stars to have success (8:00). JD then gives some rapid-fire thoughts about the Blue Jays (40:00). Former NHL head coach Claude Julien explains how the Leafs got away from their identity, game-planning for Game 2, how team culture is manifested, Boston's mental edge, if the Bruins hope Sheldon Keefe will reunite Marner and Auston Matthews, accountability in the locker room, and coaching decisions with fringe injuries (52:00). The show ends with 'What We Missed!'
