Joffrey Lupul broke his hand while tying his skates or something and will be out at least three weeks. The Leafs have sent Stuart Percy back to the Marlies and have recalled Sam Carrick, who will be expected to center the 4th line tonight, if that lines plays at all.

Leafs going with 7 D tonight, which completely ruins my sweet lines table.

Do you like fishsticks? This guy loves them. He also wants to haunt your nightmares.

Everyone get your Babcocks out!

Coverage of the Avalanche's visit to Toronto.

Since we're 0-2 with the new format, we'll go old school with as little effort as possible. Go Leafs Go!

People will come, Tim. They'll come to Toronto for reasons they can't even fathom. They'll turn up Bay Street, not even sure why they're doing it. They'll arrive at the ticket office, as innocent as children, longing for the past.

A Leafs lineup with no Orr, McLaren, Clarkson, or Bozak.

Hey, it's hockey! Sabres: Hodgson-Grigorenko-Stewart Deslauriers-Larsson-Armia Dalpe-Mitchell-Flynn Ellis-Schaller-Kaleta Weber/Ristolainen Petrecki/Meszaros Bagnall/Strachan Makarov Leafs: JVR-Bozak-Kessel Nylander-Kadri-Leivo Booth-Holland-Frattin Kozun-Carrick-Orr Rielly-Franson Gardiner-Granberg Percy-Holzer Bernier

Bleep bloop.

Leafs get two games tonight in arenas where they outnumber opposing fans.

How the old guard uses specious arguments to try to maintain their veneer of expertise in light of a new movement that is democratizing analysis.

Here we go...

With the 8th overall selection the Leafs select William Nylander, son of Michael.

Now 100% more Tyler Biggs.

Good thing that the local mittenstringers aren't held to the same standards to which they hold the players.

Last game for Randy Carlyle as coach of the Leafs? Last game as a Leaf for James Reimer? Nik Kulemin?

Go Le...Aw, who cares at this point
