Good morning Toronto Maple Leafs fans and fans of teams with Maple Leafs on their jerseys!

Last night Canada handed the United States their posteriors in the World Juniors semi-finals, winning 6-2 to go on and face off against the Czech Republic tonight in the gold medal game of the 2023 World Junior Championships.

I didn’t watch, I don’t have TSN, can’t find my Chromecasts, and refuse to watch anything recreationally on a laptop, but it seemed like American fans were not taking the loss gracefully.

To which I say: bloo, bloo, bloo.

**7:00PM - TSN**

Enjoy!

Also happening tonight, the Toronto Maple Leafs are hosting the Seattle Kraken at 7PM. Hopefully we see a better performance from everyone than we did against the Blues on Tuesday.

Elsewhere in the hockey world, there was a huge brawl in a BC Jr.B game and nine players were suspended.

We need the Canucks to admit they’re bad and just start selling.

Finally, Saturday nights game will be Indigenous Night for the Maple Leafs. No details on what that means, but could a surprise jersey be on the way?
