James Mirtle, senior writer for The Athletic, joins JD Bunkis to talk about the Maple Leafs’ 6-4 win over the Winnipeg Jets. They get into penalties, Jake McCabe, the balance on the blue line, conserving Chris Tanev, William Nylander and John Tavares together, spreading the talent out on three lines, Nicholas Robertson’s start to the season, and Steven Lorentz.

Who was the 1st rounder we gave up to get McCabe and his 20 points and -27 at 2.5 mil instead of 5 mil? Was it Seth Jarvis and his 33 goals?
That Lorrentz slapper reminded me of Cody CeCe's terrible shot that when 90 degrees off target several years ago 😀
This team plays the exact way they've played for years, I'm not seeing sny Berube influence
It’s a win don’t get to excited
could robertson and lilly get u zegras??
I am seeing a completely different game in regards to Mccabe. I have seen COUNTLESS wtf plays by him JD. This now a WTF moment. He is a give away machine
Vegas has the best blueline for sure…Dallas is great but they also signed the Boosh…I think we are way too picky about the Leafs' D
You can get Robertson back in the lineup imo. Holmberg is a fourth liner and it’s where he should play. I don’t want to see him on the third anymore. Play him on the fourth at centre or wing. He’s a good forechecker and he works hard but offence dies on his stick.
It’s amazing to see leafs fans continually delude themselves into believing the craziest things. If you have Tavares as your second line center you will not go anyway in the playoffs, he can’t skate, can’t play defense, can’t move the puck effectively. He’s a power play specialist who should be a fourth line winger at best
They should try matthews and domi and knies on pp1 for a little bit and see if it works
