    Why was the Maple Leafs trade deadline so underwhelming?

Inconsistent Output

While Jonas and James are arguably the most well rounded Leaf analysts, offering a nice mixture of analytics and perspective, the frequency of the podcast has been spotty, sometimes going weeks without a new episode. I understand these guys are incredibly busy building and contributing to the Athletic, but if they cannot produce regularly, they should get some help, bring in guests, and not just do it as a tandem. Also, these guys need to figure out how to refine their production. Learn how to use skype. Ask Ian at the Leafs Geeks podcast for some pointers.

Incredible coping from unbiased journalists

Hearing James “I don’t root for the Leafs” Mirtle refer to the Gentleman’s Sweep against the Panthers as a “hard-fought series” was chicken soup for the soul.

Terrible Audio

I understand these podcasts are being recorded “remotely” or over Zoom but it is so frustrating and unacceptable to have audio kicking in and out throughout the podcast. Can we please put in some effort???? The Athletic is turning into a complete dump!
