The Leafs are off until Wednesday night, but there was still hockey action yesterday. The Marlies defeated the Comets, finishing the back-to-back sweep.

The Toronto Marlies hosted the Utica Comets for the second time in two days as they kicked off the 2016-17 AHL season.

Down the Gardiner Expressway the Furies defeated the Blades 6-1 yesterday, completing their weekend back-to-back sweep after an OT win on Saturday.

It was a pretty good weekend for Toronto hockey.

Meanwhile in Edmonton

It’s all happening again...

The Oilers were [comically dismantled by the Sabres](http://www.coppernblue.com/2016/10/16/13301428/sabres-6-oilers-2-hello-reality-my-old-friend?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com), who are playing without stars [Jack Eichel](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/players/255252/jack-eichel?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) or [Evander Kane](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/players/71959/evander-kane?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com).

Over in Vancouver, [Jake Virtanen](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/players/246237/jake-virtanen?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) decided this was a good thing to do.

But the highlight of the weekend has to be that RANDY CARLYLE HOCKEY IS BACK, BABY!

Also we discovered there is a hockey player named Wacey Rabbit. [I bet you can guess in which league he played junior](http://www.hockeydb.com/ihdb/stats/pdisplay.php?pid=62565&ref=pensionplanpuppets.com).

The early-morning announcement comes less than three years after Laurence was brought in to restore the Toronto-based telecom and media giant following a period of lacklustre growth.
