Are the Leafs Still Lacking Killer Instinct?

On Hour 3 of The FAN Morning Show , Ben and Brent are joined by Sam McKee to discuss the Blue Jays’ Opening Day loss to the Baltimore Orioles, Vladimir Guerrero Jr.’s ongoing contract saga, the Maple Leafs’ shootout loss in San Jose, Joseph Woll’s shaky resume against quality opponents, the Leafs’ persistent lack of “killer instinct,” and the team’s recent power play improvements. Later, Ryan Spilborghs (25:25), former MLB outfielder and current Apple TV analyst, stops by to chat about the Orioles’ tempered approach this past off-season, the mounting pressure on Toronto’s front office, expectations for Jackson Holliday in 2025, Alan Roden’s emergence this spring, and the mental hurdles associated with playing during a contract year.
