PHT’s Morning Skate takes a look around the world of hockey to see what’s happening and what we’ll be talking about around the NHL world and beyond.

Every now and then, it’s wise to get a screen capture of a Twitter comment instead of going with a direct link. Take, for instance, when James Reimer’s agent blasts the Toronto Maple Leafs’ defense instead of his client after a difficult defeat:

Editor’s Note: PHT’s partner FanDuel is hosting a $1,200 Fantasy Hockey league for Wednesday’s NHL games. It’s just $10 to join and first prize is $275. Starts Wednesday at 7pm ET. Here’s the FanDuel link.
