The Leafs are hosting the Buffalo Sabres tonight in the first day of back-to-games, tomorrow they will go to Boston to play the Bruins, yeah... them again.

We'll have our preview of the Sabres game out later this morning.

The Marlies have a school day game this morning at 11:00 a.m., and the PWHL Toronto team is hosting PWHL Boston team here tonight. It's a busy day for Toronto hockey.

All this on the backdrop of the NHL trade deadline only two days away, well you could say it's three if you count today, Thursday, and Friday (the deadline is 3:00 p.m.). The Leafs are of course expected to do "something" so you better check in at PPP all day long!
