All or Nothing: Toronto Maple Leafs

NHL had an opportunity to show a bit of personality here. Instead it's the same predictable recycled jargon NHL is known for. Netflix's F1 Drive to Survive, and even previous seasons of All or Nothing, are excellent references for a great sports docuseries. Those series are successful because of the unprecedented access, full transparency, and candid interviews. NHL is know for its shrouded secrecy and generic interview answers - that doesn't change with this documentary. Leafs come across like they're watching what they're saying on camera the entire time. There was lots of potential here to delve deeper, such as players being cut or sent to the minors, and the scrutiny the team received after its playoff loss. No one is vulnerable here which unfortunately doesn't make for compelling TV, instead the series resembles a Leafs promo developed by their PR team.

I'm a long time hockey fan and player, and while not so entertaining this was still enjoyable. It is interesting to see the behind the scenes stuff. However, I get that Will Arnett is a die-hard fan, but please for the love of god, stop saying "we" when talking about the team. I don't even do that for my team casually and I certainly wouldn't do it when I was professionally narrative a documentary. You aren't a player or a member of the coaching staff.

:( that's all you need to know. Let's go get it boys.

2021/22 season starts in a week and this Leafs fan is ready to get hurt again.

31 teams all fighting to win one of the most coveted trophies in professional sports. The Stanley Cup. Leafs are right there and this doc shows the perspective from behind the scenes. So well documented and enjoyed every episode. So many questions answered of what really goes on in the daily business. The hunger is there, the team is there. Enjoy watching.
