Good morning! Big, big Leafs day today. The Baby Leafs are going to try to claw their way back into their series against the Hershey Bears (they're currently down 3-1 and are on the cusp of elimination). Mitch Marner, J.J. Piccinich, and the Knights play Martins Dzierkals and the Rouyn-Noranda Huskies in the Memorial Cup final. Should be fun.
