Trevor Shackles: Hockey is Back Actual hockey is back as the Senators face off against the Leafs

Sens icing their NHL team I see.

I kid, I kid

Drop the puck.

Going to be a fun season.

Excited to see Formenton get a shot with Duchene and Dzingle. They will certainly be able to skate with most everyone.

Formenton-Duchene-Dzingel

Excited to see this line in action. I still think Formenton needs some time to develop, but it will be fun to see what he brings to the table after a year of development from his strong start last year.

Also excited to see Brown Batherson and White play.

I'm even interested to see how Nick Paul does. This is pretty much his last chance to make it as a Senator. He needs to make a good impression.

Probably not that far off honestly.

I’m not going to lie, this is the least excited I’ve ever been before an NHL season

I've had many many many Leaf seasons start with that feeling! That's how I felt this year for Bluejays baseball!

Leafs mercy them 10-0 tonight. Tavares and marner both with hat trix

Book it

Pump the brakes. Exhibition.

I'm actually a bit intrigued to see Balcers, maybe next game

Ah, there's that Turonna arrogance we know and hate.

Same here. I think he'll have a very good year in Belleville this season.

I forget. Do you remember how long it has been since the Leafs have won a playoff round? Who played goal for them?

Is Condon and Gustavsson in nets tonight? Im i terested to see the young Swede if he gets a crack at it.

Condon to start. They usually flip at the halfway mark during these games i think?

Couldn't care much less, I don't obsess over them like they do of us apparently.

i think we are going to see lots of Condon early on. Good chance either he or Anderson can be available to other teams in the case of injuries once season gets going.

That is good. I wish I had said that.

Is Chabot dressed for tonight's game?
