The Maple Leafs are continuing their western road trip, making their second of three stops tonight, this time to play the Vancouver Canucks on Hockey Night in Canada. As one from Toronto would expect, tonight’s game is scheduled in the 7:00 p.m. slot on CBC, meaning in local Vancouver time it’s at 4:00 p.m., which will no doubt make Canucks fans irate. Just how we like them to be.
We’ll have our full preview of tonight’s game out this afternoon, but there was some good news from yesterday’s practice that Ondrej Kase was participating in full contact, allaying any fears after that big hit that forced him out of Thursday’s game.
