The Toronto Maple Leafs and Montreal Canadiens begin their first round series tonight.

This will be the first time in 42 years, since 1979, these two teams will meet in the playoffs.

Every time these two teams have met in a playoff series, the winner has gone on to win the Stanley Cup. And the last time the Maple Leafs won a playoff game against the Habs it was 1967 and, well, you know how that went.

Puck drops at 7:30 on CBC.

Fidelity Investments has launched “Youth Accounts” that allows teenagers to buy and sell stocks online unsupervised.

Kids 13 and up can do it as long as a parent opens the account for them. But then they’re on their own, and you don’t get to approve trades before they go through.

They do have some other features to protect you from letting your kid gamble away your life savings.

You get to decide how much money they start with, and you can also close the account at any time. But other than that, you basically just monitor what they do, and see all the trades they make after the fact.

Fidelity is pitching it as an “educational tool” to help kids learn about investing.
