**Who:** [Toronto Maple Leafs](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/teams/toronto-maple-leafs?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) at [Detroit Red Wings](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/teams/detroit-red-wings?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com)

**What:** Game #7 of the Pre-season

**Where:** Joe Louis Arena in beautiful downtown Detroit, Michigan

**When:** 7:30pm on Leafs TV or an internet stream near you.

**Why:** At this point, I don't know why. Two of our top players are already banged up from pre-season games, and one will definitely miss some regular season games because of it. The other, Connolly, is questionable for the season opener next week.

**How:** On a sheet of ice 200ft by 85ft. 5 skaters and 1 goaltender per side. Object of the game is to whack a 3 1/2" rubber disk called the puck into a 4'x6' net with a stick made of either wood or composite materials.

 Clarke MacArthur – Mikhail Grabovski – Nikolai Kulemin
