The Toronto Maple Leafs look to bounce back tonight in Boston after a rough weekend that exposed some deep defensive issues — and Craig Berube isn’t mincing words about it. Zack Phillips breaks down what’s gone wrong with the Leafs’ structure, the costly turnovers, and whether this matchup against the Bruins can finally show fans who this team really is. He dives into the new forward lines featuring Nic Robertson skating with Auston Matthews and Matthew Knies, how William Nylander’s move back to the second line could ignite him, and why Bobby McMann’s toughness has quietly changed the team’s energy. Zack also touches on key defensive concerns, possible call-ups from the Marlies, and the one major angle he’s targeting for tonight’s best bet — presented by bet365. Tune in for full analysis, sharp insight, and what to watch for when the puck drops in Boston.
