Morning, folks!
It’s GAMEDAY once again as our heroes try to get something from what has proven a challenging series against the best team in the Nova Cannabis North Division later this evening. Thank the deities it’s a 6PM local start for a change, these midnight run Monday night events are really a bridge too far. Nobody should have to stay up past 11 to watch the final 20 minutes of a shutout loss.

NHL DOPS threw the matchbook at Alex Chiasson yesterday for his extremely extracurricular excavation of Jimmy Vesey’s unexpected face at the final buzzer of Monday night’s loss. Chiasson will miss the next one (1) games for his actions. I’d have preferred at least 5, it was a garbage play through and through. It seems to get the people going, that kind of “emotion”. Better to have some “push back” and whatnot, you understand.
Not for me. That was a tantrum at the end of the game and if the Leafs weren’t laughing their asses off at the Oilers’ petulance, I’m not sure I know anything at all.

Tippett is SO CLOSE to just playing his best combination of defensemen in the order they should be played. Russell-Barrie is a nightmare and don’t trust anyone who tells you otherwise. If the orders of the above pairs were 1-4-2-3? Now we’re cooking.
There’s also this:
Tippett says Kahun was unfit for practice today, didn't offer any details.
