The beauty of this season is that I am not looking forward to it. I can't stand most of the overpaid p***yes on this team.
What are you looking forward to most this season?

One year closer to the necessary rebuild.
Also looking forward to watching the young kids develop.

Damn sounds like some people really going through some hardships just watching games, maybe take a year or 10 off for your blood pressure.
Looking forward to them winning the cup this year as I do every year

I always enjoy guys like Matthews and Nylander do their thing.
In terms of new storylines to follow, how the core will interact and vibe with a veteran couch who isn't coming in with baggage like Babs. And also how the goaltending experiment plays out
Edit: and probably the most interesting is watching Knies look to take the next step

I'm at the point in the year where i start looking forward to hockey in general. I'm optimistic about the Leafs season.

Seeing how high the 1st we gave away will be and then subsequently tracking that player for the next decade
What rebuild do you honestly think is gonna happen? As long as Matthews is a leaf there will not be a rebuild. The team is going to be retooled this off-season, with the cap space and infusion of young talent (Knies, Cowan, Minten, Greby, Niemela if he can grab a spot).
There is no traditional rebuild coming for at least 5-7 years.
We all know Mitchy is going to have like 32 points in the first 12 games, at which point the extension will be announced. Nothing else is Leafy enough.
To the question, and I’ll get to the poll, my first thought is style of play under Berube. Can he reign these guys in to play a focused, complete game most nights?
My top 3 are probably
1. Seeing the teams new style of play (Berube influence). Hoping for more small ice hockey. Hard every night play with passion hockey, win or lose.
2. Seeing Woll take the crease. I'm high on him, excited to see if he can play lots and steal some games for us.
3. Changes to the PP. It was the Keefe perimiter possession playing style dialed up to eleven. It didn't seem dangerous. It seemed like 5 guys were sent out there to play soccer style attack.

Hard to beat the suspense of the coach change. Made us wait five years for that one!
So true, when the playoffs finish I wonder how I'm ever going to go back to regular season, but then September rolls around and I'm amped for the pre season.

Probably not ours, but it is the Leafs’ issue, assuming the entire core wants to go far in the playoffs.
Cowan just might be the help Knies and Domi need.

The goals for will be coming down, as more players are forced to play a sound defense first game, where ALL players are going to be required to finish their checks as Leafs transform away from a figure skating team and towards a real hockey team that is built for playoff success.
Hopefully Mess. Skill of the current team with the heart of the early 90’s and Naughts teams would be a legit dangerous contender.
I know. I have just lost interest in this group. The young guys you mention interest me a lot more than more of Matthews and Marner. They kids represent hope, the others failure.

If Joseph Woll can stay healthy he might just be our next home grown Felix Potvin and it would be a good start towards 1990's resemblance,
Looking forward to seeing Matthews wear the C and his game progress under Berube. Also looking forward to seeing Knies’ development, he has all the tools and a great opportunity to lock in a spot next to Matthews and Domi?
Woll staying healthy is another thing to keep an eye on and hope for, especially with his contract extension in place already.
