You know it’s officially hockey season when we bring back the Sunday FTB! The Maple Leafs celebrated this occasion in advance last night, winning yet another pre-season game, this time 3-2 against the Buffalo Sabres.

The Leafs have tonight off, but will will be back into action tomorrow against the Canadiens at the 40 Bay Street arena.

> With exhibition half over, Mike Babcock said he's going to ideally split [#Leafs](https://twitter.com/hashtag/Leafs?src=hash&ref%5Fsrc=twsrc%5Etfw&ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) into two groups - AHLers and NHLers - and get this season's projected team together at least twice before home opener. Wants to get PP and PK up and running with players in the same game.

Which of those two teams will be out tomorrow is not yet known, though the roster may be released today. There could be a handfull of cuts when Babcock breaks down the team in this manner as well. Either way, we will have a 75% clear picture of what the Leafs and Marlies rosters will look like in the coming season by tomorrow.

Meanwhile, Nazem Kadri and Connor Carrick have been learning to cook.

I have never heard of this “celebrity chef” before, though he does appear to have restaurants all over the world. Scanning the menus, they are mostly classic French cuisine. It’s the kind of place that doesn’t offer anything particularly innovative or hispterish, but simply executes traditional French cuisine competently and consistently every time. But get your wallet out. His Toronto location is in Yorkville, and per the [breakfast menu on their website](https://www.cafeboulud.com/toronto/menus/?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com#breakfast) the rather simple omelette they make in this video is sold at Café Boulud for $26 (plus $8 if you want a side of potatoes).

"The Android system with no apps takes almost 6 Gb. Just think for a second how obscenely HUGE that number is. What’s in there, HD movies? I guess it’s basically code: kernel, drivers. Some string and resources too, sure, but those can’t be big. So, how many drivers do you need for a phone? Windows 95 was 30Mb! Windows 10 is 4Gb, which is 133 times as big. But is it 133 times as superior?"
