Then we look at the forward lineup with Matthews' resurgence back to his old self as he is reunited with Marner and with Järnkrok on their flank and we look at the 2nd line with JT and Nylander and ask who should be their winger. We close off by discussing our d-core and how much better they've looked with the consistency these last couple of games.

Welcome back to the Rink Rat Report podcast, where we bring you weekly updates on everything happening in Leaf land. This week the Buds pulled out two wins lost one game in overtime and lost another game in regulation. Today the boys get into a quick recap of the disgusting display of the Leaf against the Islanders. Then they talk about the struggles the team has been facing since the trade deadline and how they have been, uncharacteristically, struggling to win the expected goals battle. Finally, we discuss all of the line juggling from both the forwards and the defense, if Auston Matthews can fly solo on his own line, and our ever-changing game-one forward lineup.

After a flurry of trades on from the Buds on Tuesday and a newly acquired first-round pick on hand, Leafs Nation was expecting one more move to be made before the trade deadline on Friday, but alas to the surprise of everyone, no deal was made.

Today, we take a look back at all of our moves from the trade deadline and see how they fit with the vision Kyle Dubas has with this team moving forward. From there we discuss the Canadian Western road trip that saw the Leafs playing the Flames, Canucks, and Oilers, closing out with the Devils game. Finally, we close out by giving out player grades to the new acquisitions and how they fit with the team.

To kick off the show we recap all the games that happened since the last episode starting with a 3-2 win over the Washington Capitals with Auston Matthews getting his first goal of the season to give the Leafs the lead. From there they talk about the 3-2 win over the Ottawa Senators at home with two of the most offensivley prolific players on the leafs scored to help vault the team to victory, Justin Holl and David Kampf. Finishing with the brutal 4-2 loss to the Arizona State Coyotes at home where the leafs were booed off the ice. The boys discuss what happened in that game and look for any bright spots. With only 4 games into the season we discuss the sentiment around the leafs and their fanbase. Then we get into the injury news with Matt Murray being moved to LTIR and Jake Muzzin being moved to IR. We breakdown the possible options for the leafs and the potential long term impact of these injuries if either of these players are out long term. Moving behind the bench, we talk about the lineup changes coming for the next game and the blender lines we saw in the 3rd period against the Coyotes with michael bunting moving off the first line and Alexander Kerfoot getting the opprotunity to play with Mitchell Marner and Auston Matthews. As well we talk about Sheldon Keefe calling out the elite players on the team only to backtrack the next day. Finally we touch on the upcoming week of games between the Dallas Stars, the Winnipeg Jets and the Vegas Golden Knights.

We discussed our thoughts on the lines, the new look 2nd line, how our defence core played and how the goaltending played. Then we look ahead to see if there are any changes we would like to see moving forward to next game and over the coming weeks
