I liked it too. Would appreciate a video upload.
As for crowd noise I don't think they captured that audio well. I'm sure inside it was pretty loud.

It was certainly one of the better ones I've been at.
I think with Hadfield most were just listening to what he had to say, others figuring out who he is. What type of reaction should he have received?
The crowd was very good last night, free beer may have had something to do with that.

I always like the Montreal Canadiens productions better than the Leafs. They seem to take things more seriously whereas the Leafs always go for this kitschy vibe, like the puckdrop from space, and Andy Frost makes the Toronto Maple Leafs home game seem like a Monster Truck Rally/strip club.
But I did like seeing Felix Potvin again...
I thought it was lame as hell. The lightshow was just generic and nothing special for a home opener (some highlights, wowee!) then the whole puck drop thing was just....meh
the concept was cool but the execution wasn't all that great
then you've got potvin...I'm a fan but come on, it's not like he won anything with us
then tucker, who is still on our buyout cap hit. why commemorate a bum?
then you've got Sittler running around like an idiot eating fries...
all in all my feeling from this was we are not the Yankees. We don't have the class and history and execution of a top franchise like that, but we want to be - and miss the mark sorely.

My feelings too. The production of our pregame ceremonies have always underwhelmed me. I'm not sure if it's our unstable history (and present), or if they need a new production crew.
Couple things:
1. Kessels reaction to the cheering was hilarious.
2. Grabovski gave one pansy hand wave to the crowd when his name was called hahaha

What did you guys think of Andy Frost?
I was expecting big, booming, full of life Andy - was it just me that felt he's lost a bit of excitement in his voice?

Tak, I noticed Andy's voice/emotion seemed off as well.
Sittler's eating of the fries was the best part!

The Leafs media department is seriously hurting. From the terrible LeafsTV and the bush league chucklehead "Kenneth" personalities on it to lame Andy Frost, the Leafs look cheap and minor league.

I was embarrassed about how quiet the place was when Hadfield got the crowd involved and Bower looked embarrassed to be there, representing the Leafs

Nope but it didn't sound loud through the surround sound. Kinda flat. Not what I expected so I was a wee bit shocked by the reaction
p.l.f.
use the force
I'm exaggerating but the guy comes out onto the ice for these ceremonies every year and the Leafs performances have stunk it up over most of the last decade.
