@itsmeglinehan Great column. Thank you. That is all!

@mirtle Hey James, how do you even put together a takeaway from that game? I'm not sure the Leafs could've looked worse across those that opening 40, nevermind most of those two games. Surely that isn't sustainable? Right? Changes are still needed?

[Not Of @notofband]

@mirtle Leafs look like vaguely warmed up dog crap. Last to everything, overthinking, not skating, not connecting on passes ... and Tampa honestly doesn't even look that good yet.

@Sportsnet @BlueJays Your app is not working. This is a recording.

[Not Of @notofband]

@yasdnilmac To be fair, this feels pretty much exactly like the world we live in.

@mirtle Death. Taxes. Losing to Arizona.

Guaranteed Keefe says, "Let's hit the net, boys" a good 15 times in that intermission.

@bbcbubblegutz The steady devaluing of the written word, especially over the last decade or so, really hurts. I'm fortunate enough to have a job as a writer, but the squeeze on this vocation is real. A lot of parallels between it and music, frankly. Oh, the havoc the internet hath wrought.

[Not Of @notofband]

@mirtle Keefe knows what he needs to focus on. Get disciplined, don't be goaded into bad penalties. Honestly, as frustrating as that was to watch, Leafs looked great at even strength. I expect a good bounce back on Friday.

[Not Of @notofband]

@mirtle This is the best news to take from this game. You did it to yourself. Clean up the penalties, and you're fine. The way that they've just handed TB chances in this third has been suicidal.

[Not Of @notofband]

@mirtle That penalty really hurt. Can't do that—Kerfoot just got over eager. But we looked fantastic otherwise. Bring on the second.

[Not Of @notofband]

@JakenBear @TicTacTOmar Yeah, drives me nuts. Make Montour beat you with something special in tight. Don't just give it away.

@SNETCampbell @Sportsnet If only that app WORKED. #bufferinghell

@mirtle Speaking of Knies, it is so weird listening to the HNIC panel run with this idea that Dubas was shopping Knies. Wasn't it more that Chicago was ASKING for Knies and the fact that that ask was too rich for Dubas a main reason the trade was nixed?

[Not Of @notofband]

@joshuakloke Jesus. Canada is so superior to this Costa Rican side. Come on, boys. Make it happen.

[Not Of @notofband]

@TicTacTOmar That had doom written all over it. Absolutely braindead.

[Not Of @notofband]

@mirtle Honestly, outside Mrazek and Ritchie, Dubas has done a great job bargain hunting this year. Kase, Bunts, Boosh, Kampf. Which is good, because he's gonna need to do it again and couple times.

[Not Of @notofband]

@mirtle @domluszczyszyn Why I want them playing someone like Tampa or Florida or Carolina. A team they respect and fear and that drives out the laziness in them. When in those situations, they honestly can beat anybody. Them getting the 1st seed in the Atlantic would be a disaster.

[Not Of @notofband]

@mirtle A serious question, James. How many games had Jordan Binnington played for the Blues before they began their big run to the Cup? I'm almost thinking that what the Leafs need in net is not a vet but a kid with no fear, no baggage. Tabula rasa.

[Not Of @notofband]

@mirtle Well, it was at least over quick.
