Yes you would be correct about that.

 

[LeafalCrusader]

Its basically the same preseason schedule we have every year lol.

 

[Zizzzzy]

This looks to be incorrect. Our first two games are supposed to be against the Quebec Nordiques.....

 

[Walshy7]

boring! mix it up a bit, same teams in double headers every year. I know I know its only preseason but cmon we are already seeing those teams 4 or 5 times this year. Go for a team building exercise to California and play those guys or something

Travel is expensive! It's better to stay within their region to save on travel. Yes, however, it is boring.

 

[The Hanging Jowl]

It starts.

I know I know, although with as rich as the leafs are they could afford to travel to Australia and pay for the opposition too! but shareholders ra ra

If there was one thing I would change it's having less preseason games. I know playing 8 of them can be good so Babcock and Dubas can get a really good look at all the players, however there are other teams who play 6 games like the Hurricanes.

The one change for the Leafs preseason is that they have not played the Flyers the past few years in London, Ontario and it's something that use to be a regular thing for them to do.

Yes, except the first game is in Lucan for the Kraft Hockeyville game.

 

[LeafsNation75]

Yes, except the first game is in Lucan for the Kraft Hockeyville game.

I assume for that game the Leafs would be the "road team" so they don't lose out on the revenue of playing the game in Toronto?

I agree, wake me up when September ends is an apt song for pre season hockey.

I would be happy with 0 games I don't like pre season hockey, but I will say one time I liked it. I had seats on the glass for the game against buffalo where Kessel went paul bunyan on Scott and Clarkson's career ended before it began

 

[TMLeafer]

Looks like an 8-0 preseason boys!

I once had tickets to a Leafs preseason game against the Sabres in Toronto which was Paul Maurice's first game as the Leafs coach, although technically it was unofficial since it was the preseason. Anyway I remember my Dad called me while I was in school and got 2 seats from Ticketmaster right behind the Leafs bench and towards the area where you see someone like Ray Ferraro standing during a game. It was a fun experience sitting that close to the players.

90% sure the next game is at the Canadian Tire Centre in Ottawa, meaning they would be the home team for Lucan game. Although thats just a guess, logistically it doesn't matter much.

I thought the Kraft Hockeyville game is played in the arena of the community that won, so wouldn't that be the same thing once again for this year?

The only one I'm excited for is seeing Dahlin in Buffalo.

Leafs always play 4 home pre-season games.

 

[FreeBird]

Yes, except the first game is in Lucan for the Kraft Hockeyville game.

Beware the Black Donnelly's are lurking.

 

[Fonzieleaf]

Why do they always play the same 4 teams in the preseason? Lol

 

[LeafsNation75]

Given that teams don't travel to preseason road games until the day of the game, I guess the close distance from Toronto and back to those cities is why.

 

[Daisy Jane]

the same reason why most teams play the same 4 teams LOL
less travel.

id rather watch the leafs split the squad into 4 teams and scrimmage than those particular 4 teams especially in a pre season game.

 

[PuckMagi]

Only 3 months. I got lots of stuff to do between now and then. But I'll be ready to go for next season!

I'm a busy guy, but I watch every Leaf game in full. That ends up being maybe around 8 hours a week that I spend watching the games.

I do notice that I have a lot more time in the off-season.
