It’s Friday and there’s something approximating a Leafs game tonight. Apparently, John Tavares is still a Leaf, it’s not just a fever dream. Rasmus Sandin may encounter Rasmus Dahlin, and perhaps even SDA could get into the lineup.

Can the Leafs call themselves number one?

There are only three types of players in this list: good players, players with upside, and hidden gems.

Also, I said I’d do a post when single-game tickets went on sale for the Furies and Thunder. They went on sale yesterday, so let’s call this that post.

Also if you’re in the Erie, PA area on Saturday, Mercyhurst University are hosting an exhibition game against the Thunder.

### Around the league

NHL Player Safety is off to a *fabulous* start, really.

Assessed a major and a match penalty for the infraction, Domi will sit out the rest of the pre-season as well.

Wes McCauley is well regarded by coaches and players around the league.

Another season, another injured Flyers goalie.

Goalie was injured during warm ups on Tuesday night in Brooklyn.

The Sens decided to indulge in yet more propaganda yesterday. Judge for yourselves how convincing they were:

The Sens’ general manager spoke yesterday on the rebuild, analytics and more.

The Sens’ new chief marketing officer spoke about the infamous Melnyk video, logos, third jerseys and more.

And lastly, the Bobfather has a new book coming out.
