The 2019-2020 MotherFucking Season Thread

With some players already opting out, it’s going to make that asterisk even bigger.

Didn't realize the severity of AJ's injury. Ouch. Nice opportunity for a young scoring winger to step up and fill the hole.

Petan ... not quite NHL material. Small and skilled but doesn't move too well and seems a tad dense.

Yeah, Petan appears to be the classic tweener. Skilled enough to rip up the AHL, not skilled enough to play in an NHL top-6, and not enough hockey sense or other strengths to his game to play farther down the lineup.

Kinda wonder what the leafs will do without potentially a OHL or AHL season. Send everyone to Europe that can play there? Create their own development league with a few other teams?

So far its all shitty players tho.

And none of them from any legit contenders.

 

[BeLeafer]

Some of them have names I never recall seeing before.

 

[Preston]

And none of them from any legit contenders.

Other than Boston. Kampfer sucks though, yeah.

Karl Alzner opting out is adorable.

 

[BeLeafer]

Could be a perfect storm for Fred. Froctober + playoffs ... eek.

Won't be surprised to see Campbell get a game in the play-in.

[BeLeafer]

I guess Petan is in after all.

[Volcanologist]

if I were AJ and otherwise healthy I'd still be thinking twice about playing(asthma)

It was funny reading from the media trying to pander to the anti Toronto crowd how it was a bad choice for a HUB City.

 

[BeLeafer]

For those handfuls of Leafs players hailing from Toronto, or close by, this will be anything but their typical experience of playing at home. Mitch Marner’s parents, for example, attend many games and would visit with their son before and after. That won’t be possible in the bubble until the conference final.

Toronto hub city FAQ: What does it mean for the Leafs and the city?

The city has played host to other large sports events in the past, including the 2007 FIFA U-20 World Cup and the 2015 Pan American Games.

First, these parents are like flies on shit ... he's not a little kid any longer. Second, that's just a bit weird.

But, really, it should be interesting to see how Mucho plays without Paul screaming obscenities at him.

Lines so far:

Hyman-Matthews-Nylander
Engvall-Kerfoot-Kapanen

Rielly-Ceci

 

[BeLeafer]

Definitely want Willy and AM reunited for this.

Despite all the hand wringing, Rielly and Ceci were good in the first half. Give the heavy lifting to Jake and Holl.

 

[zeke]

Clifford-Spezza-Goat get first dibs on the 4th line.

Robertson gonna have to earn it.

 

[BeLeafer]

Cannon meet Goat. FIRE!
