“Lord, I’ve seen what you’ve done for others…”

This is what I hoped they’d do with the Marlies assignment. If they just thought his ceiling was third pair RD, he’d already be on the Leafs. Special guest appearance by a former Marlie with real estate instincts. He’s back in action today after a minor LBI Aatu Raty (pronounced Rah-tu) is...

Cowan scared UPL into Murraying his net

Paul and Marchenko with a synchronized flopcheck

Has Kirill heard the lore about the dick trick?

That’s not ideal Tavares is down.

Pretty dumb by Benson Sissons is elite off puck
