From The Branches

September starts in one week. Will they give us even a crumb of information to talk about this week?

One more to go to September.

The summer is winding down, Auston Matthews played hockey yesterday, and Toronto Marlies tickets are going on sale today!

Try to jazz it up for them, NHL.

The Raptors are pointing the direction the Leafs are likely to keep taking.

Shouldn't be that hard a question, and yet it does depend on how you define your terms.

Will something happen this weekend? No.

Say it ain't so.

They won't, though.

T25 starts today.

And other hockey news of no great importance.

I thought the holiday weekend was the slowest for NHL news but the one just over tops it.

Summer rolls on.

And speaking of top prospects... Victoria Mboko wins the Canadian Open

Not much else is going on, which is likely just as well.

Sometime. Eventually.

Today is when it kicks off for real.

It's a long weekend for Nick Robertson.

Will this be better? It's not impossible.

Still nothing going on in the NHL.

Cold news.

I'm trying to manifest a trade, but I doubt it works.

It's peak summer, which means it's time for a hockey tournament!

FTB, get it?

Emphasis for now on the "seems".
