The Toronto Maple Leafs roller coaster continued over the weekend, from an embarrassing Black Friday loss to the Capitals that had Leafs Nation calling for change, to their most dominant win of the season Saturday in Pittsburgh. We break down what finally went right in that win, whether Craig Berube can stick with this version of the lineup, and revisit where this organization is realistically headed long term. Plus, Easton Cowan’s emergence as a top-six staple and Auston Matthews reinventing himself at this stage of his career.
