Ricoh Coliseum
Yes, that's right. The Marlies haven't actually lost a game outside of regulation this entire season. They are the only team in the league with that stat now.
Fun fact: If the Marlies win in regulation tonight, Sheldon Keefe will be the coach of the AHL all-star team.

I'm sure Keefe is really looking forward to that weekend in Utica. I hear their steamed hams are excellent. Oh, wait. That's Albany.
Leafs (23-14-1) @ Avalanche (17-16-3)
9:00 pm ET
Some kind of cola Center
TV: SNO (blackouts in effect. Again!)
Our game preview with lineups is here.
We know that William Nylander is excellent at dealing with Abominable Snowmen, so a win should be as easy as pulling a few teeth tonight.
Calvin Pickard has been called up to the Leafs after Curtis McElhinney died in a horrible transporter accident.
Oh, wait. I was thinking of Commander Sonak. My 36 year-old mind gets confused with things that happened in movies 40 years ago.
By the way, Calvin Pickard is the nicest guy to talk to. He will go out of his way to explain things in detail to me, no matter how dumb and naive the question I may ask him.
