The Toronto Maple Leafs came back in epic fashion on Saturday night, scoring 7 unanswered goals and handing the red hot Habs an L. We discuss the week that was for the Leafs, including William Nylanders polarizing “what's the big deal?” comment and then backing it up with his play. We also give our take on Jake McCabe’s importance, Max Domi’s struggles and try to figure out why Morgan Rielly has looked average for most of the season.
