Updated 2x at 12:22 PM: The Red Wings hit the ice at Little Caesars Arena’s BELFOR Training Center to prepare for Monday’s Canadian Thanksgiving rematch (2 PM EDT start on FanDuel Sports Network Detroit/Prime Sports Canada/97.1 FM). Detroit won a 6-3 victory over the Toronto Maple Leafs on Saturday night…
But the Maple Leafs insisted that they simply underestimated Detroit and “beat themselves” as opposed to giving credit to the Red Wings’ efforts.
So, the Wings skated on Sunday looking to be taken a little more seriously (or perhaps not) by Toronto on Monday afternoon…
#RedWings warm-up for practice with a drill they seem to do once every few weeks. Visit Toronto tomorrow at 2 (@FanDuelSN_DET), bumped up from original 4 pm start due to Blue Jays game at 5. pic.twitter.com/qazwCThkQ2

And the Maple Leafs want to remind us why Monday’s game is scheduled for 2 PM, not 4 PM (it’s the Toronto Blue Jays’ playoff game against the Seattle Mariners):
