Toronto Maple Leafs Lethargic Play Continues + Blue Jays vs Dodgers World Series Preview

43 minutes

The Toronto Maple Leafs’ sluggish start rolled on Tuesday night with another lifeless effort, this time in a lopsided loss to the New Jersey Devils. We break down why the team looks disinterested and disorganized, and take a closer look at Auston Matthews’ underwhelming play to start the season. We also react to Craig Berube’s ongoing shuffle of line combinations and the team’s glaring issues in their own zone. To close things out, we switch gears for a special Talkin’ Buds Blue Jays segment, previewing Toronto’s upcoming World Series showdown with the Los Angeles Dodgers.
