Leafs Star Power Outage, Special Teams Dysfunction and What Now? w/ Craig Simpson and James Mirtle
JD lays out what's not clicking with the Maple Leafs. James Mirtle, Senior Managing Editor with The Athletic, gets into the Leafs' poor powerplay; potential adjustments and the contrast with the Bruins powerplay. JD and James also discuss Sheldon Keefe's home playoff record and comments about Brad Marchand, William Nylander's top-secret injury, the uncomfortable core four conversation, who TJ Brodie should draw-in for and what the bright side is (8:00). Sportsnet Analyst and Stanley Cup Champion, Craig Simpson, breaks down what the Leafs' powerplay lacks and how it can get better, what penalty killing skills are hampering the Leafs, Mitch Marner's game, if not knowing status of teammate is a distraction, and the Leafs' winning formula (52:00). The show ends with 'What We Missed!'
