<p>Kevin McGran of <em>The Toronto Star</em> joins Nick Alberga &amp; Jay Rosehill to break down the Maple Leafs’ decision to fire assistant coach Marc Savard — and the bigger question: will it actually fix anything? With Toronto sitting at an ugly 12-for-90 on the power play, the conversation zeroes in on just how damaging the Leafs’ PP has been, how much better this team <em>could</em> be with even league-average results, and what’s been missing from the group all season long.</p><br><p>McGran also weighs in on William Nylander’s recent bout with confidence, noting how uncharacteristically dejected the usually calm and cool winger looked following the loss in Dallas. The boys discuss Craig Berube’s future behind the bench, before Kevin delivers a sobering prediction for the rest of the season — he doesn’t believe the Leafs will snap out of it, and thinks they’ll ultimately miss the playoffs.</p><br><p>To wrap things up, Kevin promotes his new book <em>Auston Matthews: A Life in Hockey</em>, which sparks a conversation about Matthews’ struggles this season and McGran’s thoughts on what might be going on with the Leafs’ superstar.</p><br><p>#LeafsForever #LeafsMorningTake</p><br><p>🚨 Subscribe to Leafs Nation on Youtube!🚨</p><p>➡️ / @theleafsnation401</p><br><p>SHOUTOUT TO OUR SPONSORS!!</p><br><p>👍🏼Powered by @bet365.
