It was not a good night for our favourite teams.

The Leafs lost last night’s game in the most frustrating way possible: a shootout. Another shootout loss; maybe they should practice for those...

[The shootout is bad. And the NHL should feel bad - The Athletic](https://theathletic.com/34957/2017/01/22/mirtle-the-shootout-is-bad-and-the-nhl-should-feel-bad-so-many-games-end-with-one/?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com)  
\[Species: Mirtle doesn’t like it, but I think it’s fun once and a while.\]

The Marlies continued their [brutal road trip](http://www.pensionplanpuppets.com/toronto-marlies/2017/1/21/14343580/toronto-marlies-brutal-road-trip-ahl-icecaps-newfoundland), swinging through Bridgeport MA CT last night, picking up an unfortunate 4-3 loss. Goals were from Johnsson, Findlay, and Dermott (his first ever AHL goal).

The Solar Bears were defeated by the Everblades 5-2\. Darik Angeli did get this nice goal for the bears.

The Toronto Furies are hosting the Calgary Inferno this weekend. Last night they lost 4-1\. Natalie Spooner got the lone Furies goal.

The Furies play the Inferno again today at the MasterCard Centre at 12:30PM. It’s their last home game of the season. You should go to the game! It’s a great way to spend a Sunday afternoon. Tickets are $15, and there’s lots of free parking at the MCC. There’s a full service snack bar with a surprisingly large variety of hot food and snacks.

If you can’t make it to the MCC, you can tune in to this game on TV!

> Tomorrow. Our last home game of the season. Join us live at 12:30pm ET for a very special puck drop featuring the 2014 Clarkson Cup champs. [pic.twitter.com/ym2tr3qkFW](https://t.co/ym2tr3qkFW?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com)

That happened last night for Christian Fischer.

Let that sink in a moment.

They *Coyotes* went on to defeat *Tampa* 5-3\. The Lightning are in a total meltdown. They’ve dropped to second last in the east, only one point ahead of the Islanders, who have *four* games in hand. They may well end up last in the eastern conference. Absolutely no one predicted that.
