The Toronto Maple Leafs shake up their coaching staff, firing assistant coach Mark Savard as the NHL’s worst power play stalls. Can a bench change ignite a second-half surge, or are deeper issues plaguing the Leafs’ playoff hopes? Mike DiStefano and David Morassutti unpack the ramifications of Savard’s exit, questioning if removing the power play coach is enough when problems persist at 5-on-5 and in the defensive zone. The hosts analyze the team’s lack of urgency, leadership challenges under Craig Berube, and speculation around management’s next moves. With the pressure mounting ahead of a pivotal matchup against the Pittsburgh Penguins.

The Toronto Maple Leafs could not close out the Tampa Bay Lightning in Game 5 bringing on some anxious thoughts. Mike DiStefano and David Morassutti look at what went wrong for the Leafs and how they were finally brought back to earth a bit. They look at the Good,Bad and Ugly from the game breaking down everything from Ilya Samsonov's play, William Nylander and Morgan Rielly shining through the bad, Mitch Marner, Auston Matthews looking subpar and of course Justin Holl getting exposed yet again. To end the show, Mike and Dave look at what changes the Leafs should consider heading into Game 6 including whether Michael Bunting should come in and any other lineup changes Sheldon Keefe should consider.
