This should be a totally non-controversial weekend, right? The figababa is tonight against the Flyers and we’ll have a preview up later this morning. The two teams met last Saturday and the Leafs won that game in a shootout. Hopefully the game is wrapped up in regulation time tonight as the Leafs have a flight to catch to play the Blackhawks tomorrow evening in Chicago. There was news from Peterborough about Leafs prospect Nick Robertson. He’s been working hard at emulating the top pros in the Leafs organisation, specifically following the lead of John Tavares. [Nick Robertson out with a broken finger - Peterborough Examiner](https://www.thepeterboroughexaminer.com/sports-story/9683792-peterborough-petes-lose-nick-robertson-to-broken-finger/?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com#.XcXHlbiBq9w.twitter) The injury happened on Thursday. The Pete’s look like they’ll get through OK without their top scorer because another Leafs prospect is picking up the slack. > SAMMY! SDA extends the lead to 4-1 with a laser!

[Petan and Marincin clear waivers - Katya](https://www.pensionplanpuppets.com/nic-petan-and-martin-marincin-clear-waivers-toronto-maple-leafs/) Now the Leafs have to decide what to do with them. [Craig MacTavish got fired in the KHL: How does this affect the Leafs? - Katya](https://www.pensionplanpuppets.com/craig-mactavish-got-fired-in-the-khl-how-does-this-affect-the-leafs/) MacTavish opened up in an interview to TSN, and it’s a good read that made Katya think a lot about the Leafs. #### Other News Nikita Kucherov made a questionable play yesterday afternoon at the Sabres and Lightning game in Stockholm. The Sabres, byt the way, have been on a losing streak lately and the Leafs have jumped over them for the second spot in the Atlantic Division standings. The Sharks aren’t taking the Sabres slide lying down. They are working hard to maintain their position as the absolute worst team in the league. > If you can believe it, after scoring first 4 5v5 goals tonight, [#SJSharks](https://twitter.com/hashtag/SJSharks?src=hash&ref%5Fsrc=twsrc%5Etfw&ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) have given up last 5\. They're now -1 in 5v5 goal differential tonight & a NHL-worst -21 for the season > > — Sheng Peng (@Sheng\_Peng) [November 8, 2019](https://twitter.com/Sheng%5FPeng/status/1192683606189068288?ref%5Fsrc=twsrc%5Etfw&ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) Meanwhile the last place team in the Eastern Conference may have found a steal of a deal in a trade. The Blues had Robby Fabbri as a healthy scratch for most of this season and traded him to the Red Wings earlier this week. Fabbri made his debut with that team last night and he scored twice. It helped the Wings get a badly needed victory. Did the Blues underestimate what they were giving up? > If you thought Robby Fabbri and [@tylerbertuzzi](https://twitter.com/tylerbertuzzi?ref%5Fsrc=twsrc%5Etfw&ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) were done, think again.

But since he hit David Rittich in the helmet with his stick to accomplish it, is the legality of the goal worth having a discussion over? We asked some other goalies for their thoughts.
