Summary: Ahead this week on the program, the Leafs ended 2011 with a whimper but started 2012 with a bang winning four straight home games to set a new season high for consecutive wins. We’ll take you through games against the Jets, Red Wings and Sabres to kick start the Redline Report. Midway through the season now, we’ll hand out our half way report cards, grading the offense, the defense, the goaltending and the coaching staff as well as a few individual players. Alex Ovechkin this year is not the Alex Ovechkin we’ve come to be familiar with. Does he deserve to go to the All Star game? We’ll debate that as well the format of choosing the rosters for the All Star Game to wrap the Redline Report. Back Checking follows after that with Listener Contributions from Twitter and Email and concludes with a Troubling Fact of the Week. Rigamarole wraps the show with a look at how the Leafs past week has demonstrated their rarely seen killer instinct.
