Oh boy, the dreaded California trip. Last time was just before the Covid shutdown when all three California teams were in the Pacific basement and the Leafs only managed 1 out of 6 points. Sure it was nice to beat the Bolts after that as the last game for that season. I don't have much confidence in this game.

May be my favourite weekend of the year.
Guessing the American born players will host a big party Thursday.

Yep, no Saturday night game this week which conveniently enough coincides with our first Christmas party of the year.

For NFL fans, the USA Thanksgiving Thursday is a big deal, particularly as a Cowboys fan that always hoist a game on that day, even for Canadians living in the Canada as its all day football with 3 games scheduled. I make that day a personal day (holiday day off for myself).
However having Leafs play WED, FRI, and then Sunday (late game) that works out fantastically this week for a Hockey and Football fan as far as loads of sports and very little overlapping conflict.
.Only Leafs/Anaheim NHL and Baltimore/Cleveland NFL late Sunday games require a little creativity with PVR.

It's ignorant to assume only Canadians are Leaf fans. This fan base is world wide with a huge following in the US.For NFL fans, the USA Thanksgiving Thursday is a big deal, particularly as a Cowboys fan that always hoist a game on that day, even for Canadians living in the Canada as its all day football with 3 games scheduled.

It's not a coincidence that they are south of the border this weekend.

They'll be fine in this one, IMO. Friday night might be a different story with the Turkey hangover.

Although our Leafs are on the road in Cali this holiday week in the States, its going to allow for a sea of blue and white jerseys in the stands cheering on Leafs in all three Arenas, that it might look like Leafs home games.

Leafs usually get screwed with 3 games in 4 nights vs rested California teams, but not this time. I think they'll take the first two

I bet some of the Leafs wallets will be lighter.
Leafs have 3 X $11 mil players scheduled to be in California on Black Friday.
If I were Auston, Mitch or JT, I would get together, rent a hockey suite in all 3 California Arenas Staples, Honda and SAP Arenas and kill 2 X birds with 1 stone and buy week vacations for friends and family to come see them play this week and get their Christmas shopping done at the same.

It is so fitting that you are a Cowboys fan.

I am very interested to hear how and why people outside of Canada are Leaf fans. Fantastic but I'm a bit perplexed as to why.
