Lucas Neilson: Centennial celebrations + Leafs send Bruins into hibernation A great start to the season

If we take 2 of 3 this week, it'll be a success

Then again, we have seen hot starts before end in lousy finishes.

Just gotta get stoked one game at a time

sorry Rick, hopefully you will get used to it

Leafs were long overdue in retiring their players jersey. It's a good thing.

But they're retiring something like 17 in one year? That's.... alot?

Bad day for you on Saturday - The Boston Boourns get it handed to them by an upstart team of young ruffians, and Incester City come back down to Earth as the Championship-quality team that they are...

It's one for every hour of an average Habs season opening ceremony.


Fewer torches involved though

So the torches are there for the additional heat? Are you not receiving enough money from Alberta to heat the (frank)ing building properly...?

Oh yeah lums, the really softens the blow on that one


But in reality, bad times for both teams was to be expected.

Seems like only a month ago when posters were scoffing at the suggestion that Marner shouldn't be wearing #93.

Shanny has indefinitely put that debate to rest.

It wasn't anything crazy like 17 numbers...


.... it was 16.

I knew he wouldn't be 93, but I don't know why he stopped wearing 84 either, like he had last year at camp.

Thank (frank) I didn't buy an 84 Marner jersey like I originally wanted to

First of all, the heat is just fine, we use electric heating, which we provide ourselves thank you very much.

And obviously no, we're not receiving enough money. ALWAYS MOAR!

As for the pool, I went with Jones/Fleury in net, and got a few Pitts/SJS/Col players in there - Malkin, Burns, Pav, Gabe, Letang, Barrie for the four game guys. I then filled in around them with high end cheap three gamers (like Ekblad, Ghost, McJesus etc). Tough week this week.

I thought Ekblad was hurt....hmmm, might have to revisit.

I took all the big dogs on D...Bfug/Karlsson/Letang/Ghost/OEL/Burns

Then I took a bunch of Pens/McD/Laine etc....tough week...but I might tweak it a bit still.

Thank god about that.

I agree...would have been nice to see Marner get to wear his 93 etc.

I'm still shocked they haven't announced Matthews's number to be retired yet after all he's accomplished as a Leafs and for the city of Toronto.

Damn I forgot OEL - may have to tweak.

Ekblad played last week - 14 pts/2 games

They're adding a tier above Legends Row. Legendary Row. Strictly for a golden Matthews statue. None of that bronze BS.

I wish it would update points for this year already.....LUCAS CAN YOU FIX THAT...please.

Yeah, and while there how about adding Nylander to the (frank)ing list Lucas?
