Pad taps for Joseph Woll, returning for his first Maple Leafs practice since being away from the team.

Friday night Grandma pie with a purpose: Pep, bacon, sausage, house roasted reds and the seven-year-old’s introduction to The Simpsons and Toronto Blue Jays World Series-bound coach Don Mattingly.

Go Cubs Go: two Chicago cracker-thin tavern style wheels tonight.

Pep (straight from Hamtown hey) with Anaheim and jalapeño peppers (straight from the garden hey), then sausage, onion and mushroom all ripped off in red wine and bacon fat.

Friday night New York style: Three-day dough, sauce from those San Marzanos in the back, pep, backyard Anaheims, jalapeños and basil with a hot honey driz.

This ruled, so hard.

Mid-summer focus group question: Based off recent results, which style should I focus on from here until training camp?

Classic Neapolitan in the outdoor oven? Hybrid Chicago tavern/New Haven thin and crispy both indoor and outdoor? Or a chewy, Buffalo-style slab indoor?

Of note: Jesse Marsch spent nearly 10 minutes pre-training today having a focused conversation with Daniel Jebbison.

Jebbison struggled in his first #CANMNT start but by all accounts, Marsch is committed to working with and developing the forward through the Gold Cup.

Cross between New Haven and NYC-style tonight: Ezzo cupped pep, bacon, jalapeños and banana peppers from last year’s garden.

Maple Leafs star Auston Matthews on whether he'd like a boost for his team at the trade deadline:

How did a soft-spoken kid who loved reading about astronomy go from a Vancouver hockey “outsider” to a 19-year-old in the Leafs opening night lineup?
