The Leafs are in town tonight to play the Habs. There's only four games left. We'll have our preview of the game out later, after the morning skate, though we already know it will be an unusual lineup.

The Marlies are in "must win game" season now, playing at noon (weird start time) in Cleveland and then hosting Cleveland here in Toronto tomorrow. There's only five games left and they sit in the rather precarious position of fifth place in the division with Belleville only two points behind in the standings.

As a reminder, the top five teams in the North Division go on to the playoffs, so yeah, it's definitely must win. Belleville is playing Providence later tonight, which creates the dilemma of rooting for a Bruins-related team to win, but you gotta do that at this time of year.

Yes, you are officially an old. Not only does Nikolay Kulemin already have a son, he is old enough to have been drafted into the OHL, selected ninth overall no less. He'll be eligible for the NHL draft in only two more years. The Leafs could have another Fulemin! ... err I mean Kulemin.

Gabe Landeskog played in the AHL last night, attempting his return to hockey after over two years out of the game post-surgery. He even got in a scrum and took a penalty!

Patrick Roy adds another item to his already long list of "not my best decisions."

Happy weekend!

Get your chocolate fix before Easter. A substitute for the "cold brew" coffee liqueur can simply be Kahlua which you can get at any LCBO, though a maple flavoured liqueur would be good too.
