Well, last night sucked for me, personally, but hey, the Marlies won, showing the Leafs have a future ahead of them. The Toronto Furies won their season opener and it looked like a blast there, real great fan interaction and everything. A great league and organization.

The Leafs lost and there was no great showdown with Kessel. Eh. Here are your links.
