Former Leafs forward Mitch Marner delivers for Canada despite controversy

from Locked On Leafs - Daily Podcast On The Toronto Maple Leafs · host Locked On Podcast Network

Mitch Marner propels Team Canada past Czechia with a thrilling overtime goal as the former Toronto Maple Leafs player gets another moment on the big stage. Mike DiStefano and David Morassutti break down Marner’s clutch performance, the bittersweet reactions from Leafs fans, and the controversies that lit up social media—including a missed too-many-men call that nearly changed the game’s outcome.  Mike and Dave also discuss Jordan Binnington’s stellar goaltending under pressure, Nick Suzuki’s surprise impact, and the ripple effects of Sidney Crosby’s injury on Canada’s medal hopes. The conversation also spotlights the USA’s grind-it-out playoff style led by Auston Matthews, roster questions for the Leafs post-Olympics, and predictions for the women’s gold medal clash.Everydayer ClubIf you never miss an episode, it’s time to make it official.
