7:30pm on Thursday

I’ll be there with one of your Leafers

Will you be sitting in the stands with McAvoy?

It happens too fast and is too weird a play for it to be pre-meditated.

If you want to argue intent, the only thing would be to argue that he was put in a weird position, and decided to lash out with his skate.
- Atomic Wedgie

This seems pretty close.

He’s the Leafer I’m going with.

Hoping AM34 puts up a couple tonight. A snipe and a garbage-y one sounds about right.

Will Toronto catch up to Montreal in the standings?!?

Too busy starring at the Dubas Penguins in the rearview mirror.

That was my Halloween costume last year.

Did you all see the guy at the Dallas Stars game impersonating Mike Babcock?

He’s the Leafer I’m going with.

Story checks out

Had to look it up. Didn't even realize Montreal had a team this year.

We're off to a good start despite losing Dach for the year.

I expected them to compete for a playoffs spot but wouldn't quite make them. If they play like this all year and can keep injuries to a minimum (instead of leading the league in games missed for the 3rd year in a row), I think they'll do just that.

Nice. My wife and I went as Lazlo and Nadia from What We Do In The Shadows.

Habs will be 12+ points out of a spot by years end

Yeah, definitely a weird fall.

I just cannot fathom a player would try and murder another with his skate.

We all know the right way is blindside headshot hit or sucker punch the guy from behind ffs.
- Scabeh

I'm not sure that it's that black or white. In all likelihood the real question is whether he recklessly stuck his leg/foot out trying to catch a piece of him ...after he realized he had totally missed with the body.

A lot of guys go for the head-on ...a guy avoids it ...then they instinctively stick out the leg to try to catch a piece. It sucks but it's almost instinctive when it happens that way.

This one ...if that's the way it's determined to have gone ...potentially has some real legal questions.

I’m The Grinch this year. Figured I’d stir up some of the “Halloween isn’t even over and I’m already seeing Christmas stuff” anger. I love chaos.

Yeah. Feel bad for Kirby.

Good to see #91 doing well though.

I'm going to be nothing and watch the latest South Park special and then the Leafs while my wife is with her friend at a fancy Nordic spa all night. Have my bowl of candy ready for the front entrance to my building.

I dont believe he meant to murder him.
Maybe raise his leg/skate to injure him in the chest area, but it got away from him?
Dunno.
Its weird for sure

Bruins likely down McAvoy and Grizz, for Thursday nights game.

Either have I but to say that a kick to the neck was 100% done on purpose and buddy should be in jail now is a stretch (for most people).
- Canada Cup

But to compare what someone said above to that of a "lynch him cry" is even a bigger stretch no?

I'm tired of dressing up as Wedgie-era characters, and the kids at the door have no franking idea who I am.

I was a Blues Brother last year, and the closest guess was a Man in Black.

We are expecting 300-400 kids tonight. Our street is a madhouse.

Yeah. Feel bad for Kirby.

Yeah Monahan's been great in Montreal so far.

Just needs to stay healthy. Which is far from a given for him.

One other grumpy old man observation:

Hallowe'en decorations are now absolutely terrifying. I've stopped walking the dog at night - I'm too scared.

Ouchie.
