This week in Maple Leafs talk

The shows spent the week riding the Leafs' emotional swings. Toronto looked great beating Edmonton and ran off a four-game win streak with fans loving the team's energy and improved locker room culture, but then Calgary snapped that streak with a 5-2 win. The talk keeps circling back to Sergei Bobrovsky's inconsistent play in net and defensive issues that have the team sitting on a thin playoff cushion, even as Auston Matthews and the team's overall speed and chemistry have drawn praise.
