The Maple Leafs are back in action tonight against the Chicago Blackhawks at 7:00 p.m. ET tonight in Toronto. We’ll have our preview of the game out later this morning.
In the meantime, it’s an early start for the Toronto Marlies today, hosting the Utica Comets (New Jersey Devils affiliates) at the Coliseum for an 11:00 a.m. start time. It’s a school day game with students from the Toronto District School board out for a break from classes to watch them play. These are usually a packed house and very very loud events; it’s usually about 7,000 screaming kids, and they love that “get loud meter” during the game, though my ears kind of don’t because they basically break the meter they get so loud.
