Leafs Turnaround + Troy Stecher's Impact

Ben Ennis and Brent Gunning wrap up Thursday by welcoming Sportsnet NHL analyst and former pro Luke Gazdic. They discuss the Leafs' recent turnaround since November, line combinations as players return from injury, and the idea of last night's game being a schedule loss. Luke shares thoughts on managing the goalie situation with Anthony Stolarz's upcoming return and how the fan base perceives Mitch Marner’s performance. After the break, Joshua Kloke (24:30) from The Athletic joins to discuss his article on Troy Stecher, analyzing his impact on the Leafs this season, his quick acceptance in the locker room, and whether he altered the team's dynamics. The conversation shifts to Dougie Hamilton and trade deadline strategies. Ben and Brent wrap up by identifying which bottom-six forward needs to improve for playoff success.
