The Toronto Maple Leafs hit rock bottom in Game 11 — falling 6-3 to the Columbus Blue Jackets in what Zack Phillips calls “one of the most embarrassing efforts I've ever seen.” From straight-legged shifts to lifeless backchecks, TLN After Dark pulls no punches breaking down an uninspired night that raised serious questions about leadership, identity, and effort inside Toronto's locker room.Zack sounds off on a group that looked disconnected and disinterested — from John Tavares's milestone 500th goal being overshadowed by another defensive collapse, to Auston Matthews and William Nylander struggling to spark any response. He examines Craig Berube's frustration, the “country-club” mentality haunting this core, and why the Leafs' lack of buy-in, attention to detail, and compete level is dooming them early in the season.From Columbus's hustle led by Adam Fantilli, Johnny Gaudreau, and Zach Werenski to Toronto's alarming five-on-one giveaways, this episode is as raw as it gets — frustration, accountability, and truth about what's really happening in Leafs Nation.Presented by bet365 and Uber Eats, this edition of TLN After Dark delivers a passionate postgame like no other — the rant, the reality, and the reaction Leafs fans have been waiting for.#LeafsForever #GoLeafsGo #LeafsNation #TLNAfterDark #TorontoMapleLeafs #LeafsVsBlueJackets #LeafsHockey #NHL #Hockey #NHL2025 #ZackPhillips #AustonMatthews #WilliamNylander #JohnTavares #MitchMarner #MorganRielly #CraigBerube #ColumbusBlueJackets #JohnnyGaudreau #AdamFantilli #ZachWerenski #ElvisMerzlikins #bet365 #UberPartnerSHOUTOUT TO OUR SPONSORS!!
