This is going to be a tough test.

Charge!

Batten down the hatches.

The Leafs head to Hurricane country today.

Not for Florida, though.

This is no winter holiday.

Everyone is hungry for points.

This past week was pretty busy when it comes to news and updates for Toronto's prospects, plus some small notes I didn't get from the previous week.

The schedule is starting to look compressed.

Two arenas? At this time of day, at this time of year, in this part of Toronto, located exclusively around Union Station?

Complete with a cherry on top.

HNIC in Pittsburgh

SEGABABA with travel for both teams.

Another game so soon?

It has before and it will happen again.

Who doesn't like a 5 pm game?

Note the start time on the Leafs game tonight

An OT winner in Columbus in November, when the points mean something!

Boom! Just getting the cannon noise out of the way now.

The roster crunch finally arrived.

The Columbus Blue Jackets?

The Canucks want to make a trade, and there are some players looking for contracts.

The Leafs might be playing their worst hockey in a decade but they can still sell tickets.

They will insist on playing later this week, though.

But the Leafs were worse.
