What will happen to the All-Canadian Division if all 7 Canadian NHL teams have to play in the U.S. this season? Well... that division would no longer exist. Chris Johnston joins Caroline Cameron to break it all down. sportsnet.ca/nhl/video/cana…

Hope you enjoy the new series we're debuting tomorrow. "Hey Burkie" is all about Brian's greatest hockey stories (did you know he drafted the twins?), some new tales, and a laugh or two along the way. And yes, that's my GSD and yes his name is Astro (big Jetsons fan).

The NHL does not believe it has to rework the North Division schedule announced yesterday as part of the agreement to have Canadian teams playing out of their home arenas. That had been among the suggestions in a letter from provincial health authorities.

Dear Mom, I wish you could see how much the World has changed. No longer is Mental Illness something to be ashamed about, in fact we have a day dedicated to openly discuss it. We don’t see people who suffer as weak, there is compassion and empathy. Love you Mom ❤️ #BellLetsTalk

Paul Maurice on criticisms of Blake Wheeler: "Let’s be real careful. We’re 10 games in you’re beaking my captain. Yeah I’m offended by it."

Raptors GM Bobby Webster has signed a mult-year contract extension with the club, per team release.

Absolute pleasure working with Brian. Blunt and honest like you'd expect, and an incredibly helpful teammate with whatever you asked of him. Congrats Burkie.

In the Terence Davis case, Judge Michael Gaffey granted an Adjournment in Contemplation of Dismissal. As long as Davis "stays out of trouble" for the year his record will automatically be dismissed, the judge told him.

On a day when Matthews puts up four points and McDavid five, Eddie O said he thinks MacKinnon is the best player in the game. Tells you something about the top end talent right now. Incredible what these guys are doing.

While I don't have any statistical data to back this up I feel like anytime #Habs Carey Price has donned red pads, he's struggled; I think it's too easy for opposing shooters to see all the open areas of the net with the coloured pads.

“He’s played through stuff all year long, and he’s been a complete stud. So we'll see what happens tomorrow.” —Joe Thornton on Auston Matthews

The Raptors will be without a coaching staff tonight. Time for Coach Kyle.

Kyle Dubas says most of his trade conversations have been about acquiring forwards.

Another note from Bill Daly just in. Said it’s possible the game will be postponed. Some new facts have emerged. Stay tuned.

With money Canucks are investing in Thatcher Demko, who is still developing, and critical importance of goaltending, it’s vital that asst coach Ian Clark be re-signed. For proverbial drop in budget bucket, it would be reckless to let Clark get away after this season.

Oh man, did this just make my day.

On Goran Dragic, the maybe Raptor who wants to be clear: He knows first hand what Toronto basketball is about, and feels terribly for what he said and how it came across: sportsnet.ca/nba/article/dr…
