My guess is that Thornton lasts 5 games on the top line.

At least a leafs player won a fight. Might be our only win tonight.

They've got medication for that.

Unfortunately, no drugs can fix the Leafs defense.

They look uninspried again.

Matthews, Nylander, Taveres and Marner are fine, but everyone else looks meh.

None of this is on Freddie.

The new bodies dont look great other than Simmonds

Leafs management are forward thinkers at least... not sure if too many other teams would experiment with giving the team LSD before the season opener

Agreed. I know that was part of the sales pitch, but he'd be better centering the 3rd line.

Thornton is awful on the top line, complete dead weight. No idea what Keefe is thinking. He should be 3rd line c not top line winger

Joe thornton on the top line is the equivalent of when you have to go to the timeshare presentation to get 2 free nights at the hotel

I wonder if there will be any changes next game.
Bogo out, Lehtonen in? Barabanov for Robertson or something? Idn. Maybe they'll give everyone 4 or 5 games to find their stride before making movedm

Simmonds can still handle himself. Guy has done some boxing for sure!
- 21peter

If only he could actually contribute to winning a game.

I'm already regretting the nice things I said about him in the prediction thread.

He's a player from an earlier era.

What the frank is he doing trying to get the crowd into a crowd-less game?
