The Toronto Maple Leafs fall 5-3 to the Boston Bruins at TD Garden, now stretching their losing streak to three games. JD Bunkis and Sam McKee break down the game and discuss Auston Matthews's and Anthony Stolarz's injuries, familiar issues plaguing the team, and whether they are good enough to make the playoffs. Then, they discuss how desperate Brad Treliving will be to address the Leafs' flaws, Craig Berube coaching for his job, and JD shares why he's on 'Team Tank' for Gavin McKenna.The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the hosts and guests and do not necessarily reflect the position of Rogers Sports & Media or any affiliates.
A memorable Hall of Fame induction saw Duncan Keith thank his son for helping him rediscover his love of the game, Joe Thornton deliver an emotional speech, and a standout class featuring Zdeno Chara, Alex Mogilny, Brianna Decker, Jennifer Botterill, Danièle Sauvageau & Jack Parker. On the ice, the Oilers rebounded from a humiliating 9–1 loss to Colorado by storming back against Columbus, thanks to two brilliant Connor McDavid goals and Jack Roslovic’s OT winner, though their structural issues and Kris Knoblauch’s pointed post-game comments on goaltending (from Saturday) underline how far they still are from true contention. In Toronto, defensive lapses continue as the Leafs gave up three third-period breakaways in a loss to Boston. Craig Berube was visibly frustrated and the team's lack of speed is apparent as they search for answers. Meanwhile, Brad Marchand is having a stellar season with a five-game goal streak and nearing 1,000 points, stepping up for an injury-depleted Panthers lineup and strengthening his case for Team Canada.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
