Good Morning!

It’s a jammed pack week for the Leafs before the All-Star break. The Avalanche are in town and then it’s a back to back road trip against the Blackhawks then the Stars on Wednesday/Thursday. Then another five days off for the All-Star break because we haven’t had enough long breaks between games lately.
