im sure he can find another canadian team to jump to if it gets really bad. canucks? i hear they are looking good. i know if i could choose any team to cheer for it'd definitely be them.

he'll be a leafs fan again by march.

book it.

yeah best to stay with 65"

will hurt more to watch the sens lose on a 75" tv.

Listening to Boucher and Dorion today. These guys are very upbeat about the Sens coming season. Believe they are a much better team than the team that started last season.

Karlsson is wearing a yellow sweater, skating on one leg and still the most remarkable hockey package in the NHL.

we wont let this happen. he'll hate us so much he will just cheer for whoever happens to be above the Leafs.

no offense guys. you watch way too much tv if you're this into buying one.

im pretty sure Connors last name is McDavid.

so the sens are better to start the season without Karlsson this year than they were with him last season? i think hes better than you and the sens are giving him credit for.

but yea the sens made so many big moves this offseason to improve, its hard to argue the increase in talent.

agreed.

these predictions are good because the leafs are predicted to win the Division and the Sens are not

I notice the expectation for Karlsson is at 50% on the Norris.

I believe the expectation of a Leaf 1st place finish has been negotiated up as people talked themselves into something they hope to see. I believe there is a greater chance the Leafs miss the playoffs rather than a 1st place finish.

I am a nervous of a Leaf 1st place finish. I am trying to talk myself into something I hope to see, that there is a greater chance the Leafs miss the playoffs rather than a 1st place finish.

All true, especially the part about the great pics off the plasma. The picture is still as sharp as when we got it 8 years ago. The plan was to move the plasma upstairs and put a new 75" in the media room. Maybe we should leave the plasma in the media room and just get a 65" samsung (mu 6300) for upstairs ($1,397 at Costco)
- spatso

If you use your TV everyday then over the years your plasma will have faded considerably. You don't notice it too much, and it does apparently hit a point where it stops fading, but there is no question the picture us not what it once was. I love my plasma TV also and so I am not in a huge hurry to upgrade but I wish it has the same picture as when I bought it... and it it still awesome for well-lit sports

OMG OMG Karlsson may play in the opener!?!

He makes Pacioretty look like Lupul!


Nobody saw that coming...

Speaking of Lupul ...............heard today (on the way to play golf) that he and Hossa have both had their "independent" physicals done, and results will soon be known.


The commentators said if either is cleared to play, then there will be Cap issues .......... bigger problems for the Blackhawks than for the leafs, but an issue for both teams nevertheless.

There would not have been a cap problem for the Leafs.

He failed again.

It was never a legit test anyway. Nobody can ever convince me that Hossa mysteriously coming down with jock itch... just as he hits the circumventing years is legit. Lupul, I have no idea, but Hossa was by far the worse transgression.

Makes sense because most voters don't factor playing actual defense into the equation.

Yes and ankles are 50% off today at the Bay.

spatso, are you doorion?

Dorion told TSN Radio 1200 in Ottawa he is open to adding a forward before the deadline for opening night rosters to be submitted.

"If we do anything it will be at the forward position," Dorion said Tuesday. "On defence, we've got more than enough........

.......Dorion said the team talked internally about adding Jaromir Jagr, who signed Monday with the Calgary Flames, but decided they were comfortable with their forward depth this off-season.

I heard the Hawks are willing to rent Hossa's jock strap out for a 2nd rounder to the Sens in case they want to get out of the Ryan and Phaneuf deals.

no. were just making fun of you.

arent you all in saying the sens will be better than last year?

first game wont go well. jets are a scary good team. i can see the leafs losing by a few goals. they will be better for it in the long run.

judging teams off one game is a spatso thing to do. like your preseason glory. that ended in shame.

most in the media and hockey world have the sens ahead of the leafs. should be interesting to see how leaf fans handle this and what excuses they have in the regular season.
