The Leafs are playing early today, I guess they have to so the Jets can get home on the train ride back to Winnipeg in time for Christmas. We'll have our preview of today's game out... well I'm not sure when given this very early start, but it will be before the 2:00 p.m. start time of the game.

Rempe was a sixth-round draft pick by the Rangers in the 2020 draft. His ejection and suspension record is astounding. Basically for every two games he plays he's suspended for one.

A goal off the face off that goes through the linesman's legs.

That's all the news for now, folks. After today's games the league is shut down until Friday. We'll see you for the game this afternoon.
