Tonight will be weird for me...as I didn't watch last season much, this entire lineup is new to me. I'll only recognize Kadri, Holland, Bozak, Reilly and Komarov.

Also, I've got a hard on just thinking about it.......or...it could be because I'm thinking about Frenchie.

Excuses for Andersen start in about 11 hours.
- Aetherial


Is that a typo?

Ie. Craig Anderson or Frederik Andersen?

leg days are the worst.
- poohcrumbs

I need to lose weight in my legs I have massive thighs

I think the pro's say if you want to lose weight there (fat and muscle) you need to work out your legs 2-3 times per week

that sounds awful

Not sure Patrick can have as good a year as last, but he should be good for 80+ points.










Oh...money boy. RIP

Maybe Reinhart gets pushed to the middle?

So I take it that a "#6 Shea Weber" is a ridiculously expensive drink that just leaves you hemorrhaging out of the back end...?

It's actually a great drink that's very costly but will probably taste horrible if you let it age 5-6 years.

Leafs defense is terrible and Andersen will let in a softy.

4-3 Leafs, shootout win.

That honestly really sucks and I'm just glad I didn't trade for him in my fantasy keeper league

So our league has 4 keepers per season and lasts 5 years.

Salary cap is "400$". I drafted Laine for 32$ after some out of hand bidding and a little craziness. Someone else got Marner for $9. I'm thinking of proposing a trade. Should I?

Get better soon, Eichel.

The last thing I want is the karma of gloating about a team's top young center getting hurt coming back on us in the form of a Matthews injury

Oh for sure.

Guy is a freak of nature, he'll be very good for us for at least that.

I know nothing about him, usually you hear hype about a top pick to be.

Looks more like a Eric Staal/Getzlaf based on his size.

One writeup: A 6’3”, 194-pound center who is equally as dangerous passing as he is shooting, Patrick has fantastic offensive upside and incredible hockey sense. However, he’s not flashy. Patrick won’t be the guy deking and dangling around opposing players. Instead, his impact on the game is more subtle and cerebral.

He’s a big player, but he’s really smart. His awareness and ability to anticipate what’s going to happen allows him to know where to put himself and how to make plays that make a difference for his team every time he’s on the ice.
