Okay, so the Leafs might not have hit the ground running coming out of bye week, but we’re not letting it harsh our Muzz. This week, we take a look at some roster moves around the league, come to terms with the fact that we maybe kind of like the Jets now, and regrettably, take some time to talk about offer sheets. Hope you’re proud of yourselves on that one, Toronto Media.
Plus, Helen puts Jensine and Mel to the test to see how well they can distinguish Romantic Hockey Fact from Romantic Hockey Fiction.
