Is Vasilevskiy still an elite goalie? OverDrive Hour 1 | 1/29/25

Bryan Hayes, Jeff O'Neill and Jamie McLennan discuss Brandon Saad and the St. Louis Blues mutually agreeing to terminate his contract, could we see a bunch of trade before the 4 Nations Face-Off, Auston Matthews expected to play for Team USA, Alex Pietrangelo's reasoning for pulling out and more. They are joined by Maple Leafs writer for The Athletic Jonas Siegel to discuss the Maple Leafs getting healthier, the issues with the bottom six upfront, could Saad be of interest to the Maple Leafs, should Joseph Woll play the remaining games until the break for the 4 Nations Face-Off, is Andrei Vasilevskiy still a top goaltender in the NHL, who are the top one game goaltenders in the league right now and more.

It’s wild that there are going to be more teams foaming at the mouth to get Saad than Peterrsson and Miller combined💀

Your downgraded audio edit is slightly misaligned with the video frames in this one. Would be easier just to leave the native high quality audio you recorded with the video in there for the upload

Vassy was hurt last year. He has a .912 save percentage before the Kings shut out. Wait until the playoffs.

[@JohnShields-xx1yk]

It's personal, there's Egos in the NHL, just like any professional sports teams, Saad is a 20 goal scorer, I'd put him on my team. Two Stanley cups

[@Kmartsmart]

Don’t look now but Vasi got a shutout tonight. He would probably finish 3rd in Vezina voting if the season ended now, so yeah, he’s still elite

[@MySundin13]

Nope. he isn't. and I love it. GO LEAFS

[@mirkokraovac9068]

Think Saad has an agreement with Chicago? Or a reunion with bowman in Edmonton?

[@whippin1335]

No he’s agreeing to league min to play for the leafs

JBB the other day at his media fireside chat, with his diplomatic speech lol…delusionally saying everything is going fine. truth is there's too many weaknesses on with the lightning. inadequate contributions from the bottom 6 forwards. a shotgun-blasted swiss cheese defence with holes (perbix and lilleberg). goaltending not playing over their head when it's needed. too many sloppy mistakes and turnovers. memory-foam pillow soft physicality. coaching needs to bring new energy to this team. TBL can’t win like in past seasons with issues of scoring in some games. the misleading high average GF is hiding the fact they get some 4/5/6 goals games to artificially inflate it. i would add as well, TBL is also dogshit on the road, especially losing to cupcake teams. tampa's dogshit also in-division too. my mind and bowels are constipating in saying that TOR should be able to wipe out tampa no problem, if they were to meet up in the p-off's.

Hayes obviously has taken the criticism from tsn to have more personality on air. He no longer always look like he has to poop...

[@Woody13ify]

The only team that should be in the four nations that isn’t is Czechia 🇨🇿 they have a legitimate shot at getting to the final imho, and we all know if the North Americans play to their best and the Scandinavians play to their best it’s an North American final which most of the fans want unless u from Finland or Sweden that is 😏

[@tobianish]

Jonas is a contrarian, nothing else. Not sure why any bothers with his opinion.

[@TheDetonation]

And Noodles refuses to listen to any amount of negativity surrounding the goalie position.

[@Johnny-Rock-Star]

Jonas has a stupid take on everything. He’s a smug liberal democrats

[@whippin1335]

Def a Kamala supporter
