On today’s episode of Off the Roster, Dan Riccio and Lindsay Dunn dive into the Toronto Maple Leafs as training camp gets underway, breaking down everything coming out of Leafs media day and the start of the 2026-27 season. They react to comments from Auston Matthews, Gavin McKenna, John Tavares, general manager John Chayka, head coach Jim Hiller and more, discussing the new-look Maple Leafs, expectations surrounding Matthews, McKenna’s first NHL training camp, Toronto’s revamped roster and some of the biggest questions facing the team heading into the new season.
Dan and Lindsay also break down the Toronto Blue Jays’ big win over the Detroit Tigers to avoid the sweep and keep their postseason hopes alive. With the regular season winding down, they continue to examine the Blue Jays’ playoff chances, the American League Wild Card race and what Toronto needs to do down the stretch to have a chance at October baseball. Can the Jays put together the run they desperately need, and is there still enough time to make the playoffs?
Then, former NHLer Sean Avery joins Off the Roster to discuss the launch of The Sean Avery Show, his new weekly show with The Nation Network on the HockeyFights YouTube channel. Avery explains what fans can expect from the show, the topics he wants to tackle and the perspective he plans to bring throughout the hockey season. He also weighs in on Auston Matthews, the Maple Leafs and his expectations for Toronto this season.
Plus, Dan and Lindsay turn their attention to the NFL, looking back at Week 2 and teeing up the upcoming Thursday Night Football matchup.
