The Leafs lost the SEGABABA against the Blue Jackets last night, with the team putting in a messy defensive performance in front of poor Joseph Woll playing his first NHL game of the season. Here’s our GIF recap of the game:

Jakob Chychrun was a healthy scratch for the Coyotes last night for “trade realted reasons” which, how nice of them to come right out and say it. Where could he be going?

There’s a whole pile of matinee games this afternoon, including the Oilers against the Habs in Montreal at 12:30, which is 10:30 a.m. in Edmonton. And the Canucks fans think they have it bad with their 4:00 p.m. starts in Toronto...
However, there are no games at all scheduled for this evening. I wonder why? What other event could be happening tonight that the NHL wouldn’t want to compete against?
