Three of Four Points, Power Play Heating Up, Leafs Showing Signs of Life

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.

  1. 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

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. Remember how fired up Savard was when powerplay scored in playoffs and Bérubé motioned him to tone it down?

    Something more was going on I think between those two. Or his job was on the line before that and it was in-house problems

  6. Negative Nick and his little adolescent buddy Zack are the biggest Leaf Troll boys around. The Leafs have yet to have a full lineup. New players are finally acclimated and they have most of their players back. Hence the better play. Hey Nick if you don't believe the Buds aren't making the playoffs, why have a show unless you really only thrive on Trolling.
