Sad to think that he may have actually been making his NHL debut tomorrow night. Amazing kid. Great tribute OP

 

[Rude Dog]

Wifi does some off season workouts close to my home. He hasn’t been shy about letting everyone know he has this game circled. He has been taking boxing lessons all summer. Crazy thing is that he outweighs Reaves by 10 lbs I believe. Ding ding. Would look better in blue and white.

Never a bad day to beat the Habs. Opening night. Even better. GLG

 

[Squiffy]

Ready, Set, Go.

First things first. The BwO and all Leaf Nation is incredibly saddened by the loss of Rodion Amirov over the summer. The more you read about the terrible manner in which f***ing cancer manifested itself, and the way he held himself going through it, you realize the world lost a good person this summer, not just a good hockey player. Way too young. f*** cancer. But we're going to remember the good times, so here's an Amirov highlight video, talented young player just starting his career:

May he rest in peace.


Well here we go then. New GM. Top Six tweaked. We got ourselves a Domi back round here. We like Domi's round here.



Fun stuff eh?

I checked, and the manual says GDT's need music. The BwO reached out to the National Swifties League NFL for suggestions on this, but it turns out they once had Nickelback play before some big game, so their opinion is invalid. We're going full Leafs here, so here's another downed legend, #1 Leaf fan and former President of the BwO Kingston operation, Gord f***ing Downing laying down the vocals for the season. Fireworks Baby.

​

The BwO is here NHL, and there ain't nothing that stops it. Get ready, we are bringing the fire. The Core Four? Check. Yes, it's still too much to contain. Sammy and Woll? Ya we're good here. We firing Knies in there, we got some hungries kicking around that bottom six behind that. The D, ya, we're holding here, the TDL is 4-5 months, we know.

Wait wait.....

Okay, late breaking from a downtown BwO operative, not unexpected really. As usual we are expecting a large contingent of Canadiens fans, just got this in, a large group of them arriving in full Habs regalia:

Whew. Well hell, you guys do you eh? Good luck on the season, just not tonight.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Welcome to 2023-24. "This Year It's Different" V.57.
And as always, remember, once you're BwO, you're BwO. For. Life.
Baby.

Ready.
Set.
Go!​

Who?

 

[Alamo Leafer]

I thought I heard Allen is in the net for the shabs.
GO LEAFS GO

 

[TheGroceryStick]

Who?

Jack-eye.
Won’t lie.
If he beats Reavo.
I’ll cry.

 

[Arzak]

I guess Nylander will be stuck with slow-ass JT in his contract year. Smart

That being said, I want to change my prediction, I think we'll smoke them 7-1 or something!

Who is WiFi?

 

[supermann_98]

Go Leafs go! Looking forward to beating that team full of smurfs and draft busts.

Hoping Ron MacLean is gone, please let this be the year for that! I don't know what I'll do without his nonsensical stories about some coach out in Iqaluit and his team who baked cookies for the local retirement community but I'll make it.

Please Matthews let his wrist be healthy so he can get back to the 50 goal, 100+ point player he should be.

Please let everyone stay healthy, especially our goalies.

Please let Knies and Minten continue to have that pre-season chemistry and have great rookie years.

Who is WiFi?

Thought the same as I’m sure everyone else did.

 

[FerrisRox]

Who is WiFi?

Canadiens defenseman Arber Xhekaj is nicknamed "WiFi" because his last name looks like the random combination of letters that a WiFi password might contain.

 

[Rob Brown]

Ready for this! Let's go!

 

[leafers]

We’re gonna smoke them 5-2 in a dominating fashion and just plow through them.

 

[Burnie97]

I always expect the Leafs to crush the Habs the last few years but the games always seem to be closer than expected.

So I could see it going to OT. I could see Anderson scoring at least 1 goal too because it seems to happen almost every time Leafs play them.

In saying that... I still hope Leafs crush them.

 

[notdoneyet]

All these young fighters have advantage over guys like reaves Lucic martin. They all have visors. Reaves throws a haymaker hits visor, hand goon throws a haymaker hits reaves face. Big advantage visor fighter. What I think is stupid is after a fight with a visor they take it off and throw it in the ice.

 

[Marshy]

WiFi is going down.

Zero bars baby.

 

[The Iceman]

And the 2023-24 TML goal song is...........

 

[Gallagbi]

Would be nice to get a hot start to the season

 

[LeafalCrusader]

 

[BrannigansLaw]

At long last the wait is over.

Just a few more hours fellas.

GLG!!

 

[Suntouchable13]

Can’t win the Stanley Cup tonight or get into the Eastern final, so forget about it. Have to really take it a game at a time. So tonight, they have to be ready. Montreal can easily come in here and steal one. If you want to be a division winner, or dare I say President’s Trophy winner, you have to take care of business against these non-contender teams.

 

[BertCorbeau]

Long season, just enjoy the fun parts .. worry about the negatives later

Should be a loose game as guys shake the rust, especially with the roster turnover.

The hot takes after the first game are always something else, win or lose.

Keys points to keep in mind for this game:

1- Leafs rule
2- Habs suck
