New Season, new thread!

Hype vid from the Leafs account



Interesting sequence from 0:38 to 0:47; especially when the guy speaking in the video says "next chapter is ready" right at 0:47 seconds of the video there is a player there......

wondering if conclusions can be drawn from it - if any ;)

I’ve been saying it for a couple weeks, their opening month is tough. 4 back to backs and two games against wash, CBJ, Bos Mtl with Stl and SJ thrown in for good measure.

What’s the 1st unit PP look like? Is Barrie on the 1st unit with Rielly? Or is it 4 forwards?

Did Timashov actually make the roster is he likely sent down for the LTIR help?

Good for him if he made it.

Including Liljegren that's 11 players the Leafs have drafted or developed as prospects for multiple seasons in the minors. Nice to see.

I'm thinking they don't want to expose him to waivers more than anything else.

I don't like it when we play against a divisional rival - 4 point game - and it is on a back to back. Quite frankly how is that parity in the league?

Tough schedule to start indeed I hope all the teams are rusty and our offensive prowess gets us through that opening month one way or another before the teams in the league start to tighten their defense

500 or above in October is fine.

I’m sure the Leafs benefit on a few back to backs throughout the season.

Based on this, who would you start in goal for the first 3 games?

I'm thinking Freddy for Ott and Mtl...

I’ve not heard anybody in the media mention this, but I assume it’ll be like that.

Usually wide open first few games, that should give our firepower and speed an early advantage.

Johnsson-Matthews-Nylander
Mikheyev-Kerfoot-Moore
Timashov-Spezza-Gauthier

No it doesn't.

Hyman pushes one of those bottom three guys out, which he is clearly better than.
