Real Gud Pros

lmao y'all I don't even know anymore Join us as we discuss Brendan Shanahan's hurt feelings, have a wee cackle over Jack Eichel winning a cup before McDavid, and conduct a mini anthropological study of NHLer weddings.

Part 1. A measured response on the Toronto Maple Leafs and group therapy session  Part 2. lmao lol welp  Digressions include: booktok & Tyler Seguin (again), biological clocks, and the Leafs' potentially (?) killing someone's grandmother.

It's important to celebrate the victories in life, especially if the victory is avoiding a second-round sweep. Join your hosts as they break down the first four games of Round 2 vs the Florida Panthers. Sure we know what happened, but it's important to remember the good (and delusion). Enemies are declared, friendships are ended, and for a bit of fun, hockeys are paired with some classic Greek Myt...

Y'all they finally did it. Is there anything else to say? Join your hosts as they celebrate the Leafs' first playoff series WIN in 19 years (!!!) and put some teams into some situations, inspired by Helen & Liz beginning Yellowjackets.

It's playoffs baby and we at RGP are embracing the power of narrative. Join your hosts as we break down the first 3 games of Leafs v Lightning, ponder what life as a Tavares adoptee would be like, and Helen admits the funniest reason to miss a goal ever recorded.

Liz: I just think the 1st round pick for Sandin is going to come back into play! Narrator: The pick did not come back into play. Join Liz and Producer Emily as they discuss the Leafs' trade deadline moves, try to determine who Tanner Jeannot even is, and ask why Dubas insists on empty-nesting Nylander.

There's so much to unpack in this episode: the cat/dog dynamic of Matthews and Marner, Morgan Rielly being the glue holding the Leaf to Leafs together, All-Star shenanigans, and so much more.

Do you ever sit and think about how much you love John Tavares? Well, have we got the episode for you! Join us as we finally learn what's in Tavares' backpack, laugh at Bo Horvat getting traded after getting named to the All-Star game, and discuss (in depth) our favourite slut and manwhore NHL performances.

It's that time of year again! February! A normal time to release a bonus secret Santa episode. Join us as we give out our very special gifts to the Toronto Maple Leafs. Digressions include: our need for access to the Leafs' finsta accounts, the Swedish tradition of the Gävle goat, Mitch's Zeus tattoo, Luke Skywalker's Chanel boots, Earthquake preparedness, Newfoundland dogs, and so much more!

Welcome back to Real Gud Pros! Turns out when you take a little Christmas break, news starts to pile up — who knew! Join us as we discuss the declining quality of the Leaf to Leafs, homophobia in hockey (I'm getting deja vu), the Leafs' season so far and how we're feeling going into the second half and eventually playoffs. Discussion of Ivan Provorov and the Philadelphia Flyers: 59:27- 1:21:26

Get out your intro to psychology notes, folks, we're psychoanalyzing the Leafs! Join your hosts as they discuss the fascinating specimen that is Mitch Marner, drop some very bold Auston Matthews predictions, and objectify Pierre Engvall — I don't even want to talk about how much ogling I had to edit out. It was egregious.

I was wracking my brain, trying to remember all the fun things we talked about, and I remembered that Justin Holl threw a puck. And then I laughed for a solid 5 minutes. Oh Justin. Join us as we discuss the Leafs' never ending list of injuries, Tage Thompson (who?) scoring 5 goals in a game, and cast some NHL players in Love Actually — it started as different holiday movies but then we got swept u...

When it rains Leafs content, it pours. Join us as we discuss which Leafs believe in aliens, learn that Marner is "a big math guy", face the horrifying reality of mortality and the passage of time, oh and cry a little over noted Maple Leaf, Mitch Marner.

Another week, another defenceman on LTIR. Who cursed us? Can we undo the curse? Oh, getting a note from future Liz: no we can't! Join us as we discuss injuries, Kyle's continuing obsession with the Soo Greyhounds, an absurd amount of games, and which Leafs would be the best drag contestant. MLSE please call us, we have ideas.

The Toronto Maple Leafs are dropping like flies so we think it's time to put them all in padded rooms — save them from themselves. Join us as we discuss the Leafs' injuries, gently bully Holl into trying Korean bbq, decide which NHLers we want to follow around the grocery store, and give Borje Salming his flowers. Rest in peace, Borje. Mitchell Miller Discussion: 32:54 - 59:25

Let's do the time warp again and go back in time to before Halloween and before Elon Musk bought Twitter. Join us as we discuss injuries, the Arizona Coyotes' making the best of a bad situation, and a disastrous California road trip. To ease the pain, we torture some NHL teams by dropping them in some of our favourite horror movies.

[Vincent Price Voice] The foulest stench is in the air, the funk of endless goddamn injuries It's feeling very spooky around these parts, and only partially due to Halloween. Join your hosts as we join Mitch in eulogizing Jake Muzzin, critiquing the NHL's Diversity and Inclusion report, and choosing couples costumes for some … inspired NHL pairings.

It's a day that ends in Y which means the Toronto Maple Leafs are having goalie problems. Join us as we discuss the first 3 games of the season, the latest on Hockey Canada and the Ian Cole accusations, and what we think the Leafs should dress up as for Halloween. Hockey Canada discussion begins at 21:20, Ian Cole discussion begins at 33:00

We're baaaaaack! Welcome to season 5 of RGP! Join us as we breakdown the preseason, discuss the importance of part-time jobs for NHL players, and make our predictions for the season.

So uh, what's been happening y'all? Anything exciting? Anything dramatic? Join us as we recap the Leafs' off-season moves, quiz each other on some free agency moves, and review our pre-season predictions. Surprisingly not as humbling an experience as we thought it would be. Go us!

Well, you all know what happened. Join us as we yell at Nick Paul, yell about the refs, and let out a record number of sighs — which really is impressive considering we're a Toronto Maple Leafs podcast. Also, enjoy our aged-like-milk Florida Panthers opinions. Oops.

AHHHH! Playoffs have begun and, with this being released on the day of game 7, it feels fitting that we doubled down on our game 7 predictions — even if Liz will be unable to watch. Join us for discussion on the first 4 games of the series, our frustrations and victories. Again I say, AHHHH!

Auston Matthews scored 60 goals! Multiple Leafs had careers years! Your hosts are slightly? cautiously? postive about the playoffs! This week Liz threatens Freddie Andersen, Helen coos over William Nylander, and so so much more. AH PLAYOFFS!

It would have been hard to blame RealGudPros if they pouted. If they stewed. If they became a problem in the locker room. But they persevered through the adversity of [checks notes] Leafs injuries and an 8-1 loss to the Lightning to bring you this podcast. RealGudPros for the Masterton, am I right?

I'm going to be real, there's a lot of William Nylander discussion. We really embodied the AND ANOTHER THING vibe. Also discussed: Eugene Melnyk's tyrannical reign, failures of the NHLPA, Liz's Sens game experience, and playoff excitement. NHLPA & Kyle Beach Discussion: 27:00-53:16 Eugene Melnyk Discussion: 54:00-1:16:00
