A Foot In The Crease - Episode 2.25

Another edition of AFITC hits the air today. It's episode 2.25 – the Deal or No Deal Edition as we discuss a number of trades and trade scenarios sitting less than 48 hours away from the NHL Trade Deadline.

The Redline Report consists of three game recaps from the past week of Maple Leaf action: games against the Bruins, Islanders and Flyers. The Revolving Door updates the statuses of all the injured Leafs: Tucker, Peca, Wellwood, Newbury and new members of this dubious club, Pavel Kubina and Boyd Deveraux. Not that any upcoming game for the Maple Leafs is unimportant but in What To Be-Leaf, we stress the particular importance of the upcoming week with key games against the Canadiens, Devils and Sabres twice. We also weigh in on the Brawl in Buffalo this past Thursday, report on the GM's meetings and discuss a variety of trades consummated this past week.

We serve up an ambitious portion of listener email during On The Bubble and welcome some new emailers to the program! Rigamarole puts forth an explanation as to what Kerry Fraser might have been thinking when he decided to call off Mats Sundin's goal on Thursday night.

Music in this episode from the Podsafe Music Network includes "Blur" by PunchTube "A New Place" by Lori Malvey and "Goobye" by Lost In Rome.

A Foot In The Crease - Episode 2.23

Episode 2.23 of AFITC is upon you as the race for arms builds along with the race for the playoffs. With sixteen days to go until the NHL trade deadline, the rumors continue and some deals are already starting to be made. Calgary has made the biggest splash so far by picking up coveted defenseman Brad Stuart from the Boston Bruins yesterday along with Wayne Primeau in exchange for Andrew Ference and Chuck Kobasew. That deal will surely be usurped in stature though as the trade deadline draws closer, perhaps by the likes of Peter Forsberg and his newest suitor.

On today's edition of the program, we recap the Maple Leaf games against the St. Louis Blues, the Nashville Predators and the Pittsburgh Penguins. We update the statuses of those who are injured in the Revolving Door including an update on Darcy Tucker and the condition of Kris Newbury. The Redline Report concludes with another edition of What To Be-Leaf featuring Andrew Raycroft's even keel and some scuttlebutt regarding Brendan Bell.

On The Bubble brings some more fantastic listener emails and installment number 2 of The Babble of Ontario with Russell, Shredder and Crazy Ivan from Sens Underground. We omit the news from around the league portion of the Redline Report as we discuss a number of these types of issues as part of The Babble.

Rigmarole looks at the NHL's 'Quiet Star'.

A Foot In The Crease - Episode 2.22 Featuring Bob McKenzie

It’s the “triple two” edition of AFITC: Episode 2.22. For this week’s program, the “feel good” version, we bring you all the jubilant news from Leafs Nation as the Maple Leafs recorded a perfect week and then some stretching their winning streak started last Saturday against Montreal to four games with wins against Carolina, New York (Rangers) and Ottawa. The Revolving Door includes updates on Darcy Tucker, Andy Wozniewski and the newest edition to this club, Boyd Deveraux. What To Be-Leaf looks at and makes sense of the five round playoff war the Maple Leafs are apart of this season. The Redline Report is concluded with yet another update on the Flight of the Penguins Saga, a discussion regarding Brendan Shanahan’s displeasure toward the referees and Sheldon Souray’s tom foolery against Pittsburg, and some Quick Hits on Craig Conroy and the AHL All Star Game.

Listener email kicks off On The Bubble with a look at your thoughts on a variety of topics. Bob McKenzie, NHL Insider on TSN, drops by at the end of this segment and discusses what to expect as the NHL Trade Deadline approaches and tells us which players may in fact be on the bubble. Rigamarole explains why jersey retirement ceremonies are too long and what can be done to correct them for the benefit of both the honoured player and the proceeding game.

Special thanks to Bob McKenzie for spending some time with us on the program this week despite his tremendously busy schedule! You will not want to miss what he has to say regarding the Maple Leafs, Sundin, Tucker, the Hurricanes, the Ducks, and Forsberg at the trade deadline among other topics discussed.
