The Leafs now head out on a road trip through Western Canada. The first game is Tuesday night in Vancouver against the Canucks starting at 10:00 p.m. ET. They might have some backup return to the lineup before it’s over.

Meanwhile the Marlies are playing a weekend series against the San Antonio Rampage, the Blues AHL affiliates, and they won the first game 3-2\. The game winning goal was scored by Teemu Kivihalme from the spot where Leafs defence are always shooting from and missing the net.

The Marlies play again today at 4:00 p.m.

Our smol boys in Peterbrough are pretty tough.

\[Species: I think it does exist, but Auston Matthews has absorbed all of it. The danger now is that one of his shots will release all that energy which will form a sigularity that will devour all of existence. Hopefully, the Leafs can win a Cup first.\]
