honestly, with this being an all-Canadian division this year, it would have been nice to have 1-2 enforcers on each time to spice up the rivalries a bit..

Might not be that many brawlers, but plenty of agitators to raise the hate.

Well the Tkachuk brothers will stirr things up.

Gallagher always loves to Yap and annoy people. I think we'll see Anderson/Romanov play a very physical role for the Habs. Perry should cheap shot someone at some point.

Vancouver has guys like Roussel.

Edmonton has Kassian.

Toronto added Simmonds.

Don't worry Max, someone will get punched in the face at some point.

you must have been embarrassed beyond.

I'm just surprised he has the courage to even come back here!

Leafs are going to ChrisKreider Price

Tell those baztards

Everybody hyped for Wednesday?

Should be plenty of fun!

Obviously the weirdest start to an NHL season ever.

To be honest, I haven't really thought about it all that much. I'm sure that once the season gets rolling I'll be in to it.

But if you compare it to any other year, my enthusiasm level right now is much, much lower. I think a bit of it is I love going to the home opener - and obviously that's not happening.

If I remember correctly, you usually go every year no?

If you're bunning for the wrong reasons it's good to put the bun down. I've been off the drink and bun for a couple years now, I like it.
- Zezel

for sure.

theres a million reasons to cut back or quit, but its hard to see them when you're so accustomed to using.

I find it funny that some on the predictions page names Robertson as the biggest disappointment. A 19 yr old, the biggest disappointment???

If Nick Robertson or the near free vets are our biggest issues. We will be fine. JMO.

Criticisms on Leaf players are funny.

Oh FFS, do I really need to explain the joke?

Look at Bixi's post at the top of this page.

And have a cup of coffee.

Sheesh.
- Atomic Wedgie

I got it. I laughed out loud.

It is. Beats the alternative. Good weekend?
- bixll

What’s a weekend?

If I remember correctly, you usually go every year no?
- Scabeh

Yep.

It's my New Years Eve.

If it makes you feel any better, yesterday in here I misspelled masturbate.
- Atomic Wedgie

I can’t believe it’s cum to this

What’s a weekend?
- Canada Cup

There are 2 days that follow Friday.... Saturday and Sunday typically.

It's classic Leafs Nation behavior.

Set unrealistic expectations for rookies, and then run them out of town when they don't meet those unrealistic expectations.

We do this every single franking year.

Was it wrong that I put season is only 56 games which limits how far ahead of rest of Division we will be?

Fully expect Robertson to not be in the lineup wednesday.

I also fully expect him to play in the NHL at some point during the season. Once he's called up, he won't be sent back down.

And, if I remember correctly, people who have to work the rest of the week get a couple of well deserved days off. Yep, it’s coming back to me now.

Wait, it also meant that Mondays were complete pieces of poop. Sorry guys.

a very 'meh' list of agitators..
my point was actually that i don't want to see 'someone being punched in the face at some point' -- but I'd like just for this season to have most games with some Frasier MacLaren type of entertainment sprinkled in

Meh. It's hard to type with one hand.

- Scabeh

He'll actually be sent down every non-game day to save on cap hit.

Don't get me wrong, I loved hockey fights as much as the next guy.

But I don't miss this crap at all. I'm glad they are getting it out of the game.

I think his playing will be situational, depending on if they want tougher guys in or not. Maybe at some point, he stays.

- Atomic Wedgie

ELC's are one-way pay, right? Meaning that it won't matter to Robertson if he's up or down in terms of actual salary, but it will save us on cap.

Doing that to guys with two-way contracts would be pretty crappy.
