A lot has happened in a couple weeks and there is still concern in Leafland. But after the OT win vs the Hawks, a tight win vs the Wings, some lost chicklets, and heightened emotions, the tide may finally be turning toward the positive. As the saying goes, it’s still early, but the hope is that the changes in the line up and some much needed  internal accountability will spark some momentum, so that the team can start stringing together some wins!

If this isn’t enough to ignite the Buds, perhaps Morgan Rielly committing to the team long term can add some stability. We'll discuss the deal in detail and much more in our first segment, the Good, the Bad and the Ugly.

Then it's time to roll the LTL Highlight Reel and celebrate what is rolling right with the Buds.

To wrap things up, we have a Third Period segment that takes the temperature of LeafsNation. Are the Leafs losing their hold on the fanbase? Can they win them back? We’re not shy about our opinions. Go Leafs Go!
