good lord. Should the Leafs retire Domi's number.

Did I hear that the Leafs have officially retired the numbers that they had honoured before?
- Aetherial

They had that big ceremony in 2016 when they retired a bunch of #'s that were previously just honored.

https://www.nhl.com/maple...of-17-players/c-282696202

It was pretty cool to see actually and something that in a lot of instances should have happened a long time ago.

So many examples over the years where a player wore a now retired # well after the player or players who made it famous were gone from the game etc.

I mean did it make sense that all these players were able to wear the #27 as a Leaf?

Kenny Girard 1957-1960
Mike Nykoluk 1957
Frank Mahovlich 1958-1968
Gerry Meehan 1969
Gordie Nelson 1970
Darryl Sittler 1971-1982
Miroslav Ihnacak 1986-1987
Dave Semenko 1988
John Kordic 1989-1991
Lucien DeBlois 1991-1992
Shayne Corson 2001-2003
Bryan Marchment 2004
Michael Peca 2007

And you can do that with almost every retired #.

I like having that many #'s retried personally.

So I have been trying to appreciate "Animals". It is actually pretty good, took me a couple listens.

Also, I am finding The Division Bell was a pretty under-rated album.
- Aetherial

Animals definitely requires multiple listens to really be appreciated. It went from one of my least listened to albums to maybe the most. Having said that, my Floyd listening trends tend to go through cycles.

The Division Bell is ostensibly a Floyd album but, I dare say, is actually a Gilmour/Wright project (no disrespect to Nick intended, but he's not a creative force). I enjoy it but it just doesn't quite match the albums with Waters. It's funny because I vacillate between TDB and AMLOR per which album I actually prefer - they both have some great tracks mixed in with some filler.

As per the most underrated album in Floyd's discography, IMHO it's gotta be Obscured by Clouds.

"Childhood's End" is (frank)ing epic:

Should be a dandy tonight, or possibly a dull midweek snoozefest, or something in between.

I have to say, if I take off my Leaf goggles, objectively speaking I'm not crazy about Vegas' chances is this hockey game. I'm feeling Leafs in this one, in a big way.

7-5 Leafs, Nylander hat trick, Matthews x2, Tavares, Rielly.

u were wrong

Oh I passed the 6 mark before dinner arrived.

Loose Moose at 3 pm

Scaddabush dinner rezzy for dinner 515

Then the game.

The Leafs stole a point - Vegas had way more high danger opportunities but Kalli was really good.

Vegas wasn’t better (despite what others may say) they were gifted chances by the Leafs. If I was a Vegas fan I’d be upset they didn’t win in regulation. They failed to execute on breakaways and point blank chances. For a team that has won 7 in a row they sure looked very beatable from a Leafs team who clearly did not have their A game tonight.

Prediction - Vegas gets bounced in 1st round of playoffs - ya I said it.

Out in Mississauga?

I was at the game last night and there was a dude in front of me that was wearing a Kyle Wellwood jersey.
- mjones242

So far I'm hearing those of us who were at the game collectively saw:

Toskala
Komisarek
Wellwood

(I also saw a bunch of ones I was like "m'eh it's kinda recent or acceptable":

Kessel
JVR
Campbell

And of course some classics:
Lupul
Sundin
Belfour
Tucker
Clark
Keon
Palmateer

(that was mine - I have a winter classic from the Big House done up with Palmateer's name/# and it's by far my favourite Leaf jersey I own)

I do enjoy jersey watching - you see some real WTF ones every now and then.

Out in Mississauga?
- AdamFrench

No, the one on Front St. just down a bit towards the Dome from Union Station.

Don’t like all the positive spin the tsn panel put on this game. Leafs should’ve won. To many costly errors that led to all the goals tonight. They need to tighten that up.
- bryant

yup I concur

Habs: We are not sure we're gonna retire our franchise player of the last 15 years because he hasn't won a cup.

Sens: We're gonna retire that bottom 6 forward's number because he played for us a long time.
- Scabeh

Sens have 30 years of history. Might as well celebrate a guy who stayed.

Lots of grump in general after a loss.

They were playing their 3rd in 4 nights against a rested team who is also on a tear and sitting 1st overall in the league. For the most part they outplayed Vegas. Mental errors happen when you're tired, so it's not surprising to see a tired team make mental errors. It would be even better if we didn't see these errors so frequently when they were rested so that this was perhaps a more legitimate excuse.

That said, taking 5 of 6 from Boston, Carolina and Vegas with Kallgren in net for 2 of them, and with Kallgren sealing the Bruins game in the third to protect a 1 goal lead? I don't think anyone here would have believed it if you'd said it on Saturday morning.

There's some encouraging elements here - and among those is that the team is winning without Matthews or Rielly playing their 'A' games yet. Supporting guys like Kerfoot, Bunting, Jarnkrok and particularly Engvall haven't really hit their stride yet either.

I guess that key question is: do they have that ability to get it in gear and deliver consistently as a team? It's sort of obvious, but they are as good as advertised if only they could stop being as lazy as they are.
- Monkeypunk

No grump here and the general atmosphere when they lost (at least around me) wasn't all that angry - more like there was a recognition of them getting a point and as you said having just played 3 in 4 nights and getting 5 of 6 available points with their 3rd string goalie.

I agree with the other points you have made but I sure wasn't liking their odds of any points the way they decided to start the 3rd period. lol

It was a fun game to be at but a bit sloppy which again 3 in 4 nights with travel in there etc. makes sense.

Suspicious lack of spatso these past two weeks.

Oh the Polish Hockey Prince & Leaf legend who played a whopping 19 games for the Leafs.

That is a signing that is a perfect example of late season moves the Leafs used to make every single year that failed to move the needle at all. lol

Is it a Green St. Pats? I have a Green Roberts one from that era - it's gorgeous, much nicer than the current white St. Pats jerseys in my opinion.

Yeah, for me it was all good. They got a point, my son's team won for his first game, we got on the jumbotron twice, and we were at the end where 5 of the 7 goals were scored

Of the 4 goals Vegas got last night; 3 of them were off Leaf turnovers. FFS

Sandin gave it away at the Vegas Blueline on the PP.. Holy crap the kid has to manage the puck better. Lilly hit a guy on a breakout pass in the foot at the line, big turnover and Marner with just a terrible giveaway at the Vegas blueline, then he stopped play an defense.

Leafs played well apart from those 3 plays, pretty much. Should have won, even though they had a 4th string tender in the net.

Palmateer is a good one.

I think we should all pitch in and get Wedgie that Christian Hanson #39 jersey he covets.

Doesn't that set the bar incredibly low moving forward though?

Have some god damn pride.

The odd thing, it was not a modern looking jersey, nor was it so old looking that it would be from back then.

It was as if, 25 years ago, someone bought an old-school player jersey from way before that.

Is he?

Truth be told, I forgot he existed for a moment.
