The Toronto Maple Leafs split their home-and-home series with the Buffalo Sabres, delivering two more uneven efforts. We break down John Tavares’ strong start to the year as he closes in on 500 career goals, examine why this team ranks among the NHL’s worst defensively, and question whether Craig Berube can finally find a consistent lineup combination. Plus, we share our thoughts on the first two games of the World Series as the Blue Jays and Dodgers head to Los Angeles for Game 3.
