Nick Alberga & Jay Rosehill recap a productive weekend for the Maple Leafs, who picked up 3 of a possible 4 points with a wild 7-5 win over Ottawa at Scotiabank Arena before falling 3-2 in overtime in Detroit.
Toronto is now 2-0-1 since the firing of Marc Savard, and the boys dig into what’s changed early on. That includes a breakdown of Steve Sullivan’s promotion from the AHL’s Marlies, as he steps in to take over Savard’s role behind the bench.
Plus, with the power play starting to show real signs of life, Nick and Jay discuss whether this recent stretch is a sign of things finally trending in the right direction — or just a brief spark.

I don't think this three game turn around and Tanev returning is any coincidence ….they took a step forward when they picked up Stetcher and now the defence is solidified even more… that's been their whole problem all season They've had the lead in so many games and just lost it in the 3rd. Because poor defence or lack of defencemen!! but Riley still has to go He is still a weak link Just watching him s very frustrating,,,,,,,, just a thought I don't think Carla was actually that bad this year I think it was just playing with Riley made him look really bad and probably going back to last year as well
Did rosie ust say funner ?
Five of six points
Lol…said it again
as their D line gets better, this team will significantly improve
Simply having a cohesive breakout system is 80% of it for me. Night and day
considering how bad defensively some of the teams are in the east. just look at the GAA of the top teams. anybody can still make the playoffs
win 7 games in the row and the conversation will change
I didnt like last nights outcome and I dont dislike it. There was some really good things happening, the Lorentz, Laughton and Cowan line needs more time together and that might turn into a really good thing. They created lots of opportunities a few mills right or left and they'd show up on the score sheet. A thing that may be the best thing is Matthews looking like hes interested again which should spread to the rest of the team. It could be the difference.
I think we're seeing the team come to terms with the fact that Treliving won’t fire Berube. They may not like it but maybe they're getting over it and looking in the mirror.
You had me until “funner”
BEST PODCAST GOING !!!!!
Even though the Leafs lost to the Wings in OT, their work ethic seemed to be much improved. The losses are easier to take when they at least show up and are competitive.
Wow, Toronto loves the underdog. It’s best if we make playoffs as a wildcard vs division champs. Sully is a skills coach vs pp coach so LFG..
So on where Mathews has been. Olympics are closing in and coach asked are you ready. Things will change after the Olympics.
They got completely dummied for the last 25 or 30 minutes of the Wings game and it still comes out as an improvement, the bar is really really low.
Who decided a team should be awarded 1 pts for making it through regulation tied? That's like a participation medal.
premature webackunation
Tuuka Rask trade with Boston for Raycroft was the worst. Boston’s crease was crowded and they were probably onna waive raycroft. So bad.
They should have won against Detroit but what i saw were some missing pieces and about 4 players need to go.
