I have it on good authority that he is a Gretzky-Lindros hybrid. I think you should adjust your expectations accordingly.

Yeah, Nylander will be playing wing on a good line and should have a pretty decent season as well. Some people talk of him starting in the AHL is quite funny imo.
- ClarksonDavid


Not happening, that kid has marinated for long enough and I wouldn't be surprised if he turns sour if subject to another year in the AHL. That is of course dependent on him proving he belongs which I think will happen without a doubt.

Honestly Timashov looked like one of the best players at camp and during his preseason games last year if i remember correctly. Hopefully he has a good year with the Marlies.
- ClarksonDavid



Bracco timashov Mathews marner clearly way ahead.

Pierre engvall look huge (tall) but skinny as hell

Grundstrom was there. Bobeylov is a big dude, intriguing.

I can't wait to go watch the scrimmages on Friday. Question for everyone: if the doors open at 9am, should I be there at 8am in case there are lineups? Or do you guys think it won't be too busy since it's a weekday morning?

If Nylander was to start in the AHL and guys lilke Sosh and Hyman made the team he would be pissed you have to think and rightfully so. he showed he belonged last season. I think he will have times where he might struggle at points but should have a decent year all things considered next season

Bracco is one of my favorite prospects and i actually dont know why The way he skates with his edges i really like. I wished i lived in Toronto or area. Would be a huge move for me but Saskatchewan is pretty lame, want a change

Go early. There werent a ton of people there today, but you never know.

People I talked to today said they go there early and got to see the bus arrive and got autographs as they were going in.

Hat is old (feb) shirt has retro logo (kinda like the new logo)




I haven't seen new stuff around yet.

- burn

I went to the Leafs draft party (got covered in blue and white confetti! So awesome) and they had a few things - some hats, some t-shirts. The actual jerseys won't be ready for another month or so.

Honestly, I think the t-shirt in your picture is going to be just fine this year - not a whole helluva lot different than what they are selling now.

I'm glad you guys are enjoying. Pretty cool getting to see some of them up close and getting to see them going through their drills.

I took a ton of pics.... Haven't posted all of them. Some are just pic of the back of their jersey on the ice.

I heard about the jerseys being another month or so.

The tshirt is brand new, just got it a week or two ago at the leaf store.

The only time I've ever been to a Leafs pre-season practice, I bumped into Bushkorn.

I said a friendly hello to him, told him I loved his work.

He looked at me like he wanted to kill me and play with my intestines.

True story.

I haven't been back since then.

Too scared.

I hope you got a good deal on it.

That's not the new logo.

That's the 1963-1967 one.

There was some interesting characters there today. Talked to a dude who got shanny Lou and Dubas autographs.

Got a pic with Lou with my girls and saw shanny walking around on the phone. Never got a pic of Dubas he was up in the press box or whatever the whole time. Not a good spot for a pic.
