In this episode of the Tip-In Maple Leafs Podcast, Chad and Dale dive into the Leafs' recent struggles, coming off back-to-back losses against St. Louis and Minnesota. They discuss the ongoing challenges with the power play, despite a lone goal against the Wild, and express their frustrations with the team's overall performance, labeling them as a "middle of the pack" squad.

The hosts share their thoughts on the team's inability to capitalize on significant games, like facing their coach's former team, and question the impact of Austin Matthews' captaincy on his performance. They also touch on the defensive woes, lack of a true second-line center, and the third line's scoring drought.

On a brighter note, Chad and Dale highlight the impressive goaltending from Anthony Stolarz and Joseph Woll, considering it the strongest aspect of the week. They debate the potential rotation strategy between the pipes and discuss the possibility of Matt Murray's return before Christmas.

Tune in for a candid discussion on the Leafs' current state and what needs to change to turn their season around.
