Good morning Toronto Maple Leafs fans! I don’t know about you but I can’t find any big news this morning. I was up very late trying to help my wife register for her spring semester classes, at 11PM for some stupid reason, then the system went down and in their infinite wisdom the school did not have anyone working the help desk during registration. Wheeee!

Also, just all that snow shoveling. Holy jeez, we’re barely past Halloween and already we’re inundated with mounds of the stuff.

My cat is especially grumpy today, nice thing to wake up to.

And uh....there was something else. I can’t put my finger on it.....oh yeah, one piece of big news.

Oh yeah. Columbus Blue Jacket Nick Foligno was suspended three games for elbowing Pierre-Edouard Bellemare of the Colorado Avalanche.

That’s all I have for you, so let’s stay safe out there today folks. Okay Adminbot, fill in the news.

Lots of stuff here at PPP you may have missed:

Mitch Marner is sidelined for four weeks
The Leafs don’t need a backup: Tandems are the future of goaltending
Marlies recap: Timothy Liljegren injured in weekend split against Griffins
Maple Leafs waive Michael Hutchinson: Is this the start of the Kasimir Kaskisuo era?

And elsewhere:

Hey, someone else wrote about the Leafs yesterday. Is that allowed?
