<p>What a performance!</p>
<p>Speaking of which, we kicked off the Tuesday edition of Leafs Morning Take by giving our take on the Amazon Prime broadcast. Across the board, I thought it came off fresh. From the different camera angles to the crisp picture, I came away really impressed. Over time, you know it will just get better and better, too. Additionally, we broke down Andrei Vasilevskiy’s snow shower of Morgan Rielly in warm up. Honestly, it’s funny how things unfold sometimes. Talk about hockey karma! Also, we loved seeing Max Domi step up for his teammate in the third period against Zemgus Girgensons. This team is so dialled in right now.</p>
