Remember when the Leafs beat the Oilers 7-2? It capped off a four game winning streak and we were all happy. I am not joking! That actually happened and only three weeks ago! 

There is even evidence of this! Awww. Poor Leon has a sad.

The Leafs have played eight games since then and lost all but one of those, the win being to the league worst Vancouver Canucks. So, uh, a win here tonight would go a really long way in restoring the hopes of fans that this season is not already lost.

Speaking of the Canucks, here's how things are going for them now.

We will have our preview of tonight's game against the Oilers out later this morning.

The Marlies played the Crunch last night and got an important in-division win against the Syracuse Crunch.

That win leaves them a little more solidly in third place in the division behind the Laval Rocket and the (checks notes) Utica Comets? One of the worst teams in the league last season has flipped to being one of the best. That's life in the AHL. 

The Comets seem to be getting a boost from their goaltending which includes (checks notes) David Rittich? Yes, the long time NHL goalie is now playing in the AHL for the Comets. Bonus points if you remember that he started in four games for the Leafs in the 2020-21 season until Michael Hutchinson had him killed (probably) so he could play again.

It's a day off at the Women's World Championship, with the semi-finals tomorrow. Canada will play Sweden and the USA will play Finland. Hopefully those games will be a little more competitive than this one from yesterday.

But there is international hockey on TV today. The Kraken play the Hurricanes at 1:00 p.m. ET in Helsinki.

Enjoy your Saturday.
