Leafs Quick Hits Vol 6.2: Showdown in the Six - Leafs vs LA and NY Rangers

Leafs Quick Hits is our newest show format where we'll be giving you our recap and fanalysis of the Leafs games from the past week. In addition, at the end of each show we will name a Star of the Week, so you will definitely want to stick around for that!

This past week's segment was quiet for the Leafs with only 2 games on the docket. The first vs. the L.A. Kings and then a Saturday night tilt vs. the NY Rangers.

In this recap we focus on what is up with the power play, dive into player roles, and the impact of the fourth line. We take a closer look at a couple of players as well, evaluating the play of Pontus Holmberg, and Nick Robertson over this small, two game sample size.

Then we get to the moment you've all been waiting for, naming our first ever Star of the Week, and for this segment the honours goes to goalie Anthony Stolarz, who wowed us with his impressive play!

Finally we wrap up the show with a look ahead to upcoming games. This next week will be a lot busier with another 3 games in 4 nights, including a back-to-back with Tampa and Columbus. We've got a bit of momentum going, and we can't stress enough how important it is to maintain it as the season progresses. We'll see how it all shakes out and be back to discuss next week with another instalment of Leafs Quick Hits! 'Til then Go Leafs Go!
