looks like cy-borgman made it. great news. Cant wait to get this show on the road. Nice to get one of the west trips out of the way early too

They only play one game then the next 3 are at home.

Borgman and Fehr made it. Love it. Thats what I wanted as well.

A cut or waiver is coming, most likely soon today. My guess is Rosen back to AHL

1 of 15 done, its still a west trip.

 

[OVO16]

Im just praying one of our 3 stars doesnt get absolutely pasted by Big Buff tomm.

Buff always tries to fire up the home crowd in the first home game.

Yesss! The first pre-Game thread of the year! Thank you for starting it ACC! Lets hope for a good game and a win to kick off this highly anticipated season! Oh, yes, and no major injuries please....

Woooo! I dedicate my 7000th post to kicking off the greatest season in Leafs history!

No worries. It was a lot of effort but worth it in the end I think.

 

[Revolt]

Glad hockey's back! Let's start of the season with a win.

Jets fans are talking a big talk over on their board. Hopefully, we can smash them and bathe in salty Finnish tears.

Win or lose, this isn't the Stanley Cup. Please try to remember this as you make your post after the game is over.

Winnipeg has a good team.

Strengths include top two lines and right side of defence.

Weaknesses include bottom two lines, goaltending and coaching.

Overall, Leafs are better but first game is a wildcard.

It doesn’t really matter either way. Even if the leafs destroyed them the jets fans on this board would do what they’ve done for the last 3 seasons and just go into denial mode. They’ve been a powerhouse team according to that board for quite a while.

This will be a stressful game, Laine's shot is terrifying.

 

[zeke]

see, the jets have a team where they really should be sticking a plugger or 2 on the top 2 lines to spread their offense out to 3 lines. the leafs could go 3 lines deep without pluggers.

 

[Savvy]

Looks like Mitch may get some PK time. Big fan of that decision. I think it’ll get his motor going and get him skating more then he’s been doing lately.

They got an inferiority complex when it comes to the leafs. They hate us but we, on the other hand, could seriously care less about them. Winnipeg is as irrelevant as they come both in regards to their team and their city.

Interesting, what are you basing that on?

I thought that was a given already? I guess they will announce it today.

Excellent, paired with whom?

Hard to tell with no numbers on the practice jersey but I would guess Fehr. Looked on the bigger side.
