On the Sheet: Nick Alberga on the Leafs Early Struggles

Jeff Marek and Greg Wyshynski kick off today’s episode of The Sheet with some classic producer chirps before diving into a surprisingly heated debate about neckties, promos, and the NHL’s overtime and shootout structure. The guys get into whether the league should bring back ties, how a 3-point win system would reshape the standings, and why coaches see shootouts so differently before and after a game.From there, they shift into a heartfelt and detailed tribute to the late Larry Brooks — sharing stories, reflecting on his influence across the NHL media landscape, and discussing his mentorship, legacy, and Hall of Fame case. Jeff and Greg then take a wider look at the NHL’s uneven start to the season, including whether the league feels “mediocre,” the Devils–Blackhawks matchup, and how Connor Bedard is handling the early spotlight.Drew Remenda joins the show to bring his trademark storytelling, breaking down Macklin Celebrini’s emergence, Will Smith’s impact, the Sharks’ surprising confidence, and whether San Jose might actually have a playoff path. They get into Celebrini’s habits, confidence, and maturity, plus the now-iconic Judy Jupiter moment. Remenda also delivers some all-time Joe Thornton stories — including pies to the face, leadership dynamics, and why Thornton is a lock for the Hockey Hall of Fame.Jeff and Greg wrap by hitting Wyshynski’s latest column on shocking early-season NHL performances, from Marco Kasper’s struggles to Sam Montembeault’s perception in Montreal, and where patience is needed across the league’s youngest stars.SHOUTOUT TO OUR SPONSORS!!👍🏼 Fan Duel: https://www.fanduel.com/👍🏼Bauer: https://www.bauer.com/👍🏼Uber Eats: https://www.ubereats.com/ca👍🏼Prime Video: https://primevideo-row.pxf.io/c/5560083/3303015/20020Reach out to sales@thenationnetwork.com to connect with our Sales Team and discuss opportunities to partner with us!If you liked this, check out:🚨 OTT - Coming in Hot Sens | https://www.youtube.com/c/thewallyandmethotshow🚨 TOR - LeafsNation | https://www.youtube.com/@theleafsnation401🚨 EDM - OilersNation | https://www.youtube.com/@Oilersnationdotcom🚨 VAN - CanucksArmy | https://www.youtube.com/@Canucks_Army🚨 CGY - FlamesNation | https://www.youtube.com/@FNBarnBurner🚨 Daily Faceoff Fantasy & Betting | www.youtube.com/@DFOFantasyandBetting____________________________________________________________________________________________Connect with us on ⬇️Link Tree: https://linktr.ee/daily_faceoff💻 Website: https://www.dailyfaceoff.com🐦 Follow on twitter: https://x.com/DailyFaceoff💻 Follow on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/dailyfaceoffDaily Faceoff Merch:https://nationgear.ca/collections/daily-faceoff Hosted on Acast.

Jeff Marek is joined by Brian Burke and Nick Alberga for a fiery episode of The Sheet, breaking down the Toronto Maple Leafs’ atrocious performance in Boston and asking the hard question: have the players already quit on Craig Berube? The guys dissect a lifeless first period, Anthony Stolarz’s frustration, Auston Matthews’ injury, and whether Brad Treliving has any moves left to save this team. Burke and Alberga share strong words about accountability, leadership, and a core group that looks disinterested and out of answers.Plus, Jeff and Burke hit the rest of the league — the wild chaos between the Capitals and Hurricanes (including Mikko Rantanen tangling with Linus Ullmark), Macklin Celebrini and the Sharks continuing to roll, and Colorado’s statement win over Anaheim. It’s a loaded, honest, and unfiltered conversation about the state of the Leafs and what’s next for a team on the brink.Subscribe for daily NHL talk, insider breakdowns, and full-length interviews every weekday on The Sheet!#TheSheet #NHL #MapleLeafs #JeffMarek #BrianBurke #NickAlberga #LeafsForever #LetsGoCanes #ALLCAPS #SJSharks #GoAvsGo #flytogether SHOUTOUT TO OUR SPONSORS!!👍🏼 Fan Duel: https://www.fanduel.com/👍🏼Bauer: https://www.bauer.com/👍🏼Uber Eats: https://www.ubereats.com/ca👍🏼Prime Video: https://primevideo-row.pxf.io/c/5560083/3303015/20020Reach out to sales@thenationnetwork.com to connect with our Sales Team and discuss opportunities to partner with us!If you liked this, check out:🚨 OTT - Coming in Hot Sens | https://www.youtube.com/c/thewallyandmethotshow🚨 TOR - LeafsNation | https://www.youtube.com/@theleafsnation401🚨 EDM - OilersNation | https://www.youtube.com/@Oilersnationdotcom🚨 VAN - CanucksArmy | https://www.youtube.com/@Canucks_Army🚨 CGY - FlamesNation | https://www.youtube.com/@FNBarnBurner🚨 Daily Faceoff Fantasy & Betting | www.youtube.com/@DFOFantasyandBetting____________________________________________________________________________________________Connect with us on ⬇️Link Tree: https://linktr.ee/daily_faceoff💻 Website: https://www.dailyfaceoff.com🐦 Follow on twitter: https://x.com/DailyFaceoff💻 Follow on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/dailyfaceoffDaily Faceoff Merch:https://nationgear.ca/collections/daily-faceoff Hosted on Acast.
