S05E08: Justin Holl’s Rights and Wrongs 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.

S04E25: I had friends and snacks and wings 05/14/2022

S04E25: I had friends and snacks and wings 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.

S04E23: How Do You Solve a Problem Like Toronto 04/29/2022

S04E23: How Do You Solve a Problem Like Toronto 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? /episode/index/show/realgudpros/id/22953527

S04E22: Eternal Sunshine of the Leafs Fan's Mind 04/28/2022

S04E20: Poking the Goalie 04/17/2022

S04E20: Poking the Goalie So much to discuss in this episode. Auston Matthews’ 50 goals. Multiple Leaf to Leafs. The passing of Eugene Melnyk*. Jake Beagle having a hissy fit. And on top of all that? We thought it would be fun to live react to the April 5 match between the Leafs and Panthers, which was actually just so uneventful and calm. Please enjoy the chaos that follows. *Please note this episode was recorded prior to the on Eugene Melnyk released by the Athletic. /episode/index/show/realgudpros/id/22815074

S04E19: Bieberfever 04/01/2022

S04E18: Sticky Fingers Tavares 03/26/2022

S04E18: Sticky Fingers Tavares Another year, another trade deadline, but is Claude Giroux being a Panther really as interesting as John “Sticky Karaoke Fingers” Tavares? The Real Gud Pros argue no. Join us this week as we talk trades trades trades, the psychological advantage of stealing captains, some new musical Leaf to Leaf revelations, and of course, our last week of games. /episode/index/show/realgudpros/id/22577600

S4E17: Liz's Flu Game 03/17/2022
