What new, creative way will the Leafs embarrass themselves this year?

A. Losing to FLA in the 1st round (to become the *only* team that has not won one since the '05 lockout)

B. Losing to the CAR, backstopped by a rejuvenated Freddie Andersen.

C. Losing to the NYI.

somehow the leafs will find a way to accomplish them all

or option D:

Leafs miss the playoffs after losing to Boston in OT in the last game of the regular season

Let them wear whatever they want. Everybody complains about how NHL players have no personality but we still want to put them into some box. They’re going to dress up in their own way and if anyone is too slobby, the team and not management or the league will take care of it. They don’t work in an office and they usually enter the arena through the basement but they’ll style in their own way.

who’s complaining about hockey players not having personality?

I’d always admired their stoicism

if all nhl sk8ters were like letterkenney wayne (if he liked hockey), i’d stay up and watch every game and the interviews

**after being up 5-1 going into the 3rd.

new blog everyone

So Keefe confirmed Hutchinson is getting one of the starts this weekend, hopefully it’s against the sharks and not the Penguins I guess.

But who knows? Hopefully he plays at least half decent

i still can’t beleaf that dubass n queef got rid of bernie🤦‍♂️

Actually I completely understand it...Hockey organizations doing this is a huge step to other companies following suit. Hockey has been dominated by the old white men types(Don Cherry) for years and to make this sort of change is a big step.

We are coming into an age where self expression has proved to be important.

People realize that dressing up 12 year olds in a shirt & tie for hockey games just perpetuates assimilation and suppression of personality, right?

Totally agree with this. "its been like that for years" just tells me you don't care which is perfectly fine. There are many who clearly do and its why we are seeing change. It's nice to see.

Since I haven't been perfectly serious in this thread, I want to clarify my real position (because I am definitely not an "old time hockey" curmudgeon):

I fully support players expressing themselves and not having to wear a stuffy suit. Fashion rules should absolutely be relaxed to allow for individual expression while also following a reasonable dress code.

I love AM34's sense of style as it allows his personality to show and he obviously takes great pride in his commitment to fashion. I doubt I'd ever wear half the things he does but it's super cool that he's willing to push boundaries. I think it's hilarious when people snort in derision at his sense of style -- as if his private fashion life should be mocked or shows that he lacks gud pro hockey sensibilities.
