The Toronto Maple Leafs picked up an epic come-from-behind win over the Nashville Predators on Tuesday night, in a game that featured Gavin McKenna's first NHL goal, Auston Matthews leading the way with four points, Tavares and Nylander getting on the board, and Jack Roslovic continuing to stake his claim in the Leafs' top six. We give our take on the game and discuss the unhinged media behaviour in the city over the last couple of days about McKenna not taking optional skates.

The Toronto Maple Leafs let one slip away at home on Saturday night, falling to the Ottawa Senators. Despite the loss, we start the episode with the positives, including Auston Matthews and Kirill Marchenko continuing to generate offence, Easton Cowan's great play, and Sergei Bobrovsky once again looking solid. With John Tavares struggling to start the season, is it time to consider switching up the second line, or are they just snake bit? We discuss that and some more news from around the league.
