It’s November and that means the Leafs should be turning a corner soon, since in the past few seasons they have had really good win-loss records in November, so let's hope that continues! We are just past the 10 game mark on the season, and its been an up and down so far.

In this episode we discuss the Leafs' performance over the first part of the season, highlighting key players, goaltending and the new look defense. It's always good to start with the positives and we do just that with our latest instalment of the LTL Highlight Reel with a nod to a couple of snipers, as well as the breakout star making all the stops.

Then for the Third Period, we welcome back to the show our LTL Insider Mike Augello to give us his thoughts on Brad Treliving's latest moves, as well as what he thinks may be coming given the looming roster crunch. The potential trades of players like Ryan Reeves and Nick Robertson, the contract situation of Matthew Knies, as well as the constant buzz surrounding Mitch Marner's future are all fair game. In addition we all weigh in with our thoughts on the coaching style of Craig Berube and what we've noticed about how he is handling the roster so far.

We are heading into Hall of Fame weekend with a with a series of games against division rivals, where every point counts, so there's no better time for the Buds to turn the proverbial November corner! Go Leafs Go!
