[HockeyVirus]

media reporting soup starting

They learned nothing from Freddy.

who is old enough to remember saturday games starting on tv at 8:30, joining the game midway through the first period?

does that mean i am really old?

no just old

 

[Stonehands 1]

Go leafs go, just win!,

 

[WhatTheDuck]

Who are these "Leafs" of which you speak????

Hopefully Manson is traded to us during the 1st period, and comes out in a Leafs jersey for the 2nd.....

Manson is on the Covid list, you have Greg Pateryn mid game

Billy talent interview pre-game lmao. He is a die hard Leaf fan

"Yeah I was 18 during the 93 run. It rekindled my love and been following them to this day. Love this years team they are fun to watch and pretty good.. we'll see how the playoffs go"

Yup he passes the test lol

I can remember being excited that there now was a Wednesday night broadcast.

Wednesday night game....need Ward Crennel

 

[Macallan18]

Watching the Ducks commentators, need to change it up

Cornell. He was in his last or 2nd last year when I started watching hockey as a kid, then he retired and Dave Hodge replaced him.

Finally some honest to God Leafs hockey.

This actually would have been a decent match-up to sub out Engvall for Ritchie or Clifford. Ducks are a greasy group.

 

[supermann_98]

I was seriously wondering what the hell? No game tonight? Enough of this intro already!

#LongEnoughIntro?

 

[aingefan]

I have an excessive degree of excitement for this one.

 

[Burnie97]

Glad to see some hockey now. A few games after this too but then another big break for all star weekend.

Guess it isn't all bad... after that it's going to be a ton of hockey.

Ritchie plays like he had eggs in his equipment and doesn't want to break them

 

[93gilmour93]

This is honestly the worst panel for a hockey game. Wake up Sportsnet

Hahaha he got fired and replaced by Dave Hodge, he was furious
Always thought he looked like Shemp of the three stooges

yep I do seem to recall the Wednesday night broadcasts sucked. Another thing I remeber it was such a bummer not playing an 06 team after expansion. For years I thought of them not really being real NHL teams. lol!

 

[mcleex]

This whole no fans shit is getting old seriously

 

[HockeyVirus]

This is honestly the worst panel for a hockey game. Wake up Sportsnet

But look how diverse it is! No white men!

They were all mediocre or worse for the first three years except for St. Louis.

 

[Nylander88]

Interested to see our forward lineup at full health here. And also see how we do with Matthews, Marner, Nylander running their own lines.
We know Matty has found success still when put with worker bees Bunting and Kase (same thing his rookie year when he spent time with Hyman and Brown).
Tavares and Marner have baked in chemistry from JTs first year here, and stretches since.
Nylander and Kerfoot always seem to click.

Could be a nice look for us, and hard for opposing coaches to match

Growing up in Brantford we had the pre season games of the Penguins from 67 on for a while
