Later, Nick and Sam pick up on the Leafs' back-to-back losses over the weekend to the Canadiens and Devils. They share their concern levels after a shutout loss to New Jersey, whether the blue line group is fixable, how much blame lies on head coach Jim Hiller, and whether the plan changes in net as the desperation ticks up.
