Yesterday, the Toronto Marlies played for the first time in quite a while, opening their season by beating Manitoba 3-2. The Maple Leafs were scheduled to play, but mysteriously, the game never happened. Not sure what was going on there! Perhaps some benevolent god struck it from the timeline rather than forcing us to face the truth of our dishonor, I dunno.
Also, in news that does not make me want to nuke this team from orbit, the Maple Leafs did a trade! They sent Egor Korshkov and David Warsofsky to the Carolina Hurricanes in exchange for Alex Galchenyuk.
