PRE-SEASON! WOOOOOOOOO!

Okay, so after[ the last round of cuts](https://www.pensionplanpuppets.com/leafs-make-second-round-of-cuts/) the Leafs had 2 days off and now play back to back vs Buffalo and Montreal. Tonight is the [Sabres](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/teams/buffalo-sabres?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com), a team many people expect good things of this year. I don't, but I'm kind of dumb when it comes to predictions.

Welcome to Toronto, Sabres! I hope you're ready for non-stop shoulder shrugs and "meh". Also take a good look at the man who spurned you, BABCOCK IN THE HOUSE!

I have no idea where I'm going with any of this.

The Sabres made some changes last year, [and you can read about them here](https://www.pensionplanpuppets.com/2015-16-team-changes-preview-atlantic-division/). Kane, Eichel, Blysma, lots of stuff going on. Lotsa cool... cool... okay it's the pre-season I don't care what's going on in Buffalo, it's a split squad game tonight, here are you line ups:

No Eichel for us, he's off to Ottawa, which, boo.

Lots of Leafs that can show off tonight. Brown/Marner on the same line could be futzing fantastic. Welcome back to [Cody Franson](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/players/54426/cody-franson?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com)!

What's the buzz on the ground, reporters?

> Mike Babcock says he hasn't even thought about alternate captains for this season. "I just know Dion's the captain is all I know."
