Good morning Toronto Maple Leafs fans!
It's Monday morning, start of a new week, and we have just six Maple Leafs games remaining this season, with three taking place this week.
The Leafs are hosting Columbus tomorrow night, a trip to Boston on Thursday, and then the final home game is Saturday night against the Montreal Canadians.
After that, it's three road games against Florida, Tampa, and New York and the season is over.
So, as our agonizing wait for the playoffs is almost over, here's some news tidbits to talk about to make the time go by faster.
The Maple Leafs lost to the Detroit Red Wings last night, and may have lost both goaltenders.
Hardev
Murray is hurt, is Samsonov doing well?
Did Ilya Samsonov play through pain tonight?

"Not much. I play yesterday. It’s not easy to play back to back games. Just maybe muscles tired little bit. More stiffness today. I skate today & do some workout before game too, but you never know what time you go to the net."
God I hope he's alright.

We've already had one site shut down so I suppose things could be going better.
Welcome to rookies making you feel old time.
Who is Edvinsson looking forward to playing tonight?

"Nylander. I've been watching him since I was a little kid. He played World Juniors the first time I watched. I've never got the chance to play against him. I've never met him or even talked to him so it's going to be fun."
Ryan Tverberg made it six games into his pro career before he had to leave a game early.
F Ryan Tverberg will not return to today's game. #MarliesLive

Speaking of Schenn, look at his shoulder as he bends over. TLN and Lamenting the Leafs' Nick Richard noticed the player tracking device blinking in this video.
Is that little flashing tag under Schenn’s jersey for player/puck tracking? pic.twitter.com/g4jDVmLDRT

Sometimes hindsight is 20/20. Other times you see it clearly from the start.

That's it for me, enjoy your Monday morning everyone.
