The Leafs players and Craig Berube will meet the media today. We'll cover that to some extent, depending on how interesting it is. No explanation at this time as to why no Brad Treliving speaking. We'll have to see where this goes. I don't expect major changes, but I didn't expect the last major change either. 

A long read I haven't had the time for, but maybe there's something new here:

The PWHL has their expansion and draft process out, and it looks complicated as these things do. Parity in the league already tells me that there is the player base for expansion.

The PWHL playoff final opens tonight with the Charge up against the Frost. Go Charge Go! (My first time cheering for an Ottawa team.)

I took the entire day off from looking at social media yesterday, blessed peace it was, too. So I have no idea what's going on. 

There were no games in the NHL, tonight the Panthers and the Hurricanes face off. Go Freddie Go! And like almost every game from now on, it's on at 8 pm.

This is neat, SN does their own paraphrases of Friedman now...

That's the abbreviated FTB for faux Monday this week. I'll have a quick list of key dates and concepts to get your head in offseason mode later this morning. And media stuff whenever it happens. 

Update: The Berube availability live.
