Nick Kypreos, Justin Bourne and Sam McKee look back on the Toronto Maple Leafs' loss to the Ottawa Senators on Saturday. They discuss the rough third period, concerns around the John Tavares-led second line, whether Nick Paul could step into the 2C role, how Gavin McKenna is handling the spotlight, the power play still finding its footing, and Tim Stützle's dive. Later, Sportsnet.ca Leafs writer Luke Fox stops by (36:25) to help tee up the team's matchup against the Nashville Predators ahead of a challenging three-game road trip, share early impressions of the d-core, and discuss what went wrong for them against Ottawa.
