Yes, split squad games, TSN4 for the home game, Leafs TV for the away game.

edit: as for the excited part, not really tbh. I was so frustrated with the Leafs, and defeated last season that I was actually relieved when the season was over. I was put out of my misery, and although we made a lot of staff and player changes, this season isn't expected to be any better. So the hype isn't quite there for me...I will still do my best to catch every game however.

I hope Nylander is playing the home game as I cancelled LeafsTV when they re-did the packages a couple months ago.

I am so ready for some NHL action, even pre-season!!!

Did they announce the rosters for each game? I assume the home game will have more firepower?

 

[Cor]

Ottawa released their rosters.

I assume we'll find out who is flying to Ottawa tomorrow morning.

 

[Mikey88]

Both games are being aired regionally on TSN4 and TSN5.

 

[Pyrophorus]

Kostka a Sen, eh?

Going to admit… not looking forward to seeing the Sens push the Leafs around.

I am with you. Not excited at all. But I will still watch every game.

I'm interested to see how the young kids do and with split game many kids will get to play.

Hopefully no one gets injured

Leafs' Babcock dividing up pre-season rosters 1
'We’re going to know more after these three games'

“I don’t want to use veteran guys back-to-back (but), any time you play two games in one night, you’re in a tough situation.”

The Leafs must dress at least eight veterans for each of their eight exhibitions, opponents that include the Sens, Habs, and Buffalo Sabres and ending with back-to-back tests against his old team, the Detroit Red Wings. Babcock does have a rough idea about how to utilize his four principal goalies, with Jonathan Bernier and James Reimer getting a start each on Monday and AHLers Garret Sparks and Antoine Bibeau dividing the Montreal contest.

There was great anticipation among the players on Sunday about who was going to play where, and even if they’d survive the first cuts to put on an NHL sweater.

“I’m excited,” said second-year pro Connor Brown, who had a plum position this weekend in Phil Kessel’s old spot with Tyler Bozak and James van Riemsdyk. “Our scrimmages are big, but exhibitions are where the difference will be. I was fortunate to play in one last year at the ACC. Hopefully I keep playing well, push forward and stick around.”

 

[Moncherry]

Still more interest in these games than the Blue Jays.

You get a plum position by playing with bozak ?
We're doomed

Maybe we should have kept Kessel?

 

[Darcy Tucker]

I always remembered there being more hype the night before our first exhibition game.

 

[Schenn]

I always remembered there being more hype the night before our first exhibition game.

Yeah this hit me by surprise. Probably a combination of the Jay's being relevant this late in the season and everyone knowing the leafs won't be very good.

 

[crump]

Well there is very little risk of someone jumping into the Sens bench. Do either team have a muscle head in their lineup?

 

[puckluck19]

Paul Hendrick says Bernier in Toronto, Reimer going to Ottawa

Rest of the rosters won't be known til the 10am skate
