Remembering Börje Salming + Guest David Pagnotta: Leafs Morning Take

First off, without question, today’s show was dedicated to the life and times of Börje Salming. R.I.P. King.
I flew solo for the Friday edition of Leafs Morning Take as Rosie had another shift at the firehall. That said, he did drop by for a very passionate instalment of 3 Hits With Rosie, so make sure you check that out.
Before diving into today’s Leafs/Wild matinee matchup, I shared my thoughts on Salming’s passing. In case you missed it, our tribute to the King from a couple weeks ago can be found here. Furthermore, today’s guest, David Pagnotta of The Fourth Period shared his thoughts, too.
Meantime, we also discussed Kyle Dubas and what his future looks like. After a turbulent 4-4-2 October, the Leafs have looked much better in November. This past week, Toronto acquired Conor Timmins from Arizona, but rest assured, there’s lots more work ahead of the trade deadline for Dubas and company.
Will Kyle Dubas go all-in? #LeafsForever Leafs Morning Take | @TLNdc Full show: youtu.be/Cioq0W6J61s @TheFourthPeriod shed some light:
Lastly, shoutout to Rosie for hitting the Vikings (-2.5) point spread yesterday. This was today’s PointsBet Canada bet of the day.
