Join me live as we break down everything that happened in Game 23 between the Toronto Maple Leafs and the Columbus Blue Jackets, reacting in real time to a season that feels like it’s teetering on the edge. We revisit all the major storylines from the pregame — the Leafs entering the night at the bottom of the Eastern Conference, the fading “must-win” narrative, the Atlantic Division’s surprising mediocrity, and what this team actually is right now. We’ll evaluate how Auston Matthews, Matthew Knies, and Nic Robertson performed in their return to a reshaped top six, whether Easton Cowan earned more trust, how the defensive group held up with Jake McCabe playing through injury, and if the power play showed any signs of life after the idea of Cowan running PP1.

We’ll also dive into the biggest moments of the night, the turning points, who stepped up, who struggled, and what this game tells us about the Leafs’ playoff hopes heading into American Thanksgiving. Plus, we’ll circle back to the Bet365 best bet and see if the big dogs delivered. Join the chat, react with Leafs Nation, and let’s figure out together where this team goes from here.
