A lot of games to talk about after a very busy week!

In this episode of Leafs Quick Hits, we discuss the Leafs' recent segment of games, focusing on the return of Auston Matthews, the dynamics of team line adjustments, and the struggles of players like Nick Robertson. We also analyze the upcoming returns of key players, and what that may mean for the roster. Then we spend a bit of time talking about the selection process for Team Canada, in particular we take a look at a few of the Leafs that may have been on the bubble.

John Tavares may not have made the 4 Nations cut but he sure caught our attention this week, which was good enough to earn him Star of the Week honours for this episode! To wrap we take a look ahead at another busy week, which includes some games against a few bottom feeders, including 2 divisional match-ups that we feel are must-wins for the Buds.

The next few weeks leading up to the Christmas break should see the infirmary doors opening up with more players rejoining the roster. It will be interesting to see which of the call-ups get an extended look. We'll be back next week to talk about that and a whole lot more. Go Leafs Go!
