What a week it’s been! Started off great, but now, unfortunately, there is some familiar trouble in Leafland!

In this episode of Leafs Quick Hits we discuss the Leafs' recent performance, analyzing the highs and lows over this latest segment of games. We look into the impact, or lack there of, of their key players, particularly Mitch Marner, and the struggles of the power play. We also touch on our impressions of Craig Berube's coaching style so far, the defensive pairings, and player evaluations leading into game number 10. Despite the lack of results overall this week, there are still some milestones and we celebrate Morgan Reilly's 800th game! In addition we give our opinions of the NHL 4 Nations Face Off jerseys.

To wrap it up we reveal our Star of the Week with a nod to Matthew Knies, and then have a look ahead at whats ahead for the Leafs with another busy week coming up starting with a tough matchup vs the undefeated Winnipeg Jets.
