Good morning Toronto Maple Leafs fans!

It's Tuesday!

Yes, that's the big news in Leafsland right now. There's nothing going on. It's mid-July.

So the one story for the Leafs was that Ryan O'Reilly didn't like how popular the Leafs are. The spotlight was too bright.

> This morning on [#FirstUp](https://twitter.com/hashtag/FirstUp?src=hash&ref%5Fsrc=twsrc%5Etfw&ref=pensionplanpuppets.com), we were joined by [@PredsNHL](https://twitter.com/PredsNHL?ref%5Fsrc=twsrc%5Etfw&ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) forward Ryan O’Reilly and he opened up about why he left [#LeafsForever](https://twitter.com/hashtag/LeafsForever?src=hash&ref%5Fsrc=twsrc%5Etfw&ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) in free agency.
