The Maple Leafs are in California. Yes, that means the games are all starting really late this week. It’s a 10:30 p.m. EDT start both tonight and tomorrow and a 10:00 p.m. start on Friday. I hope you aren’t already sleep deprived!

We’ll have a preview of tonight’s game posted late this morning whenever the Leafs actually get out of bed out on the west coast.
