Nick Alberga & Jay Rosehill break down a major shakeup in Toronto, as the Maple Leafs fire assistant coach Marc Savard following a power play that’s sunk to a league-worst 12-for-90. The boys share their thoughts on what went wrong, why the move was made, and whether it can spark any sort of turnaround.

They also preview Toronto’s matinee matchup on home ice against the Pittsburgh Penguins — the Leafs’ final game before a three-day holiday break. Toronto enters on a three-game skid, while Pittsburgh has dropped eight of its last nine, setting the stage for a desperate showdown at Scotiabank Arena.

Plus, Kevin McGran of The Toronto Star stops by to discuss his new book, Auston Matthews: A Life in Hockey, and weigh in on the very latest surrounding the Maple Leafs.
