The Official Leafs Hallowe'en Night Ticket Panic is on.

You can sit in greens tonight for less than $100 each.

If anyone is thinking of going, I suggest you wait another four hours or so.

This reporter will stay with this story all night if I have to!

My kids are officially aged-out of trick or treating, so I'm scarfing down crap today, knowing there won't be anything left to eat tomorrow.

I'm not handing out candy to anyone, but I bought one of those boxes of Nestle minibars anyway. I got into them last night, starting hammering down the Kit Kats, Coffee Crisps, Aeros and Smarties. Took them all the way to town. Tonight I'll probably do it again.

To me it looks like intent to interfere with the RIP guy, doubt he was actually trying for a throat cut...maybe a pretend fall with a knee to the gut to take the RIP guy out of the play that ended with a (frank)ed up outcome. Like you said, (frank)ing around, not trying to murder, and then things went bad.

Either way, not watching it again. Terrible. You guys and Max can keep me updated.

I think the lack of contact (to his leg) and the weird motion make most of think that there is an "intent to stick out his leg and catch the player" ....then things go all wrong.

I don't think this goes anywhere legally b/c the assumed risk doctrine in sports is really entrenched. See Bertuzzi, Todd.

Max won't like it but the same rules do not apply in contact sports as they do on roads and sidewalks.

I trust Flying Monkey's, but I am worried about this one tonight

To be honest, I preferred when it was the Robert Simpson brewery.

What about road hockey?

Bit of a grey area?

Is that a thing? Because no one with kids or a social life is gonna go to the game so they sell? As a childless loner this is intriguing.

I tossed my tix to the douchiest single guy I knew in my social circle b/c I knew nobody else would take them.

....

You want me to throw your name in the ring next year?

I should add ....it's actually a pretty fun game to hit up with friends. I went years and years ago on Halloween and we dressed up as the Hanson brothers and got sloppy ...probably the best (frank)ing night at the rink ever.

In Max we trust 🙏

Why do people keep saying that? Max was wrong, by 3 years.

Anyone who watches the Marlies knew and said the kid had a future. Max was just obnoxious about it and off, by literal years.

Would be like me taking credit for being right about Liljegren. Would be ridiculous.

I like it this one time, actually.

I'm going trick or treating with my buddy's kid, so I'll miss less of the game.

I bet it is fun.

I had the best costume idea ever, for a dog. Gf has a miniature schnauzer, with the beard and all that. Dye the beard blood red, glue bits of gore all over the dog, and then give her a mutilated cabbage patch doll filled with kibble that naturally she'll carry around in her mouth and maul. Mz. Z didn't go for the idea, at all.

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.

- Atomic Wedgie


Did you say you were on a mission from god?

You get that many kids? My moms place only got 30ish last year, which was more than the previous years.

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.

- Atomic Wedgie


My uncle goes all out every year. It's his favourite time of year.

"I get to dress up and scare the poop outta kids. What's not to love?"

Charlie McAvoy will have a phone hearing with @NHLPlayerSafety today following his interference/illegal check to the head on Oliver Ekman-Larsson, which points to a potential suspension of five games or less.

The NHL: never missing an opportunity to miss an opportunity to take player safety seriously.

Actually ridiculous

The part where Cartman gives Ben Affleck a handjob is so (frank)ed. Can't believe that aired.

It is absolutely a thing.

Building will be 90 per cent full tonight (or 10 per cent empty, if you are a pessimist).

My suggestion to Leafs fans without kids - go downtown, have a few pops, wait until 6:00 pm and start looking at the crazy bargains on Ticketmaster.

I'm casually hitting refresh throughout the afternoon. Barring a blizzard, this will be the cheapest night of the year to buy Leafs tix on the secondary market.

The timing works out perfectly for me to make a game time decision. I'll keep an eye on it.

About the scary Halloween decorations....that one that is a witch on a swing that swings in the tree in the wind, that poop is freaky man.

Actually how over the top people go on putting skulls and so on all over their yard is a little disconcerting.

I love when they go full absurd like that. Like the one where Britney walks around with her head blown off, wtf.
