he's in Dallas?

 

[reno cool]

looked through LV roster. They had better players available wtf they doing?

 

[Matty]

Just realized they picked up Malcolm Subban and made him Fleurys backup. Interesting move.

I knew Neal was good

oh Bellamare, didn't realize they got him. that's good too. Perron... maybe not that bad, will probably need a Russian though

It's game day. My Leafs are back in action, home to the Rangers of New York. I imagine I will be able to listen to some of it as I drive home from Thanksgiving dinner tonight. Then, when I get home, I can track the score on-line.

I am enjoying this, being a fan of a team.

It's something to do.

I think Shepyov is spose to be their Russian stud

Pens have allowed 14 goals in 2 games, with still half a period to go.

aaaaaaand tonight they pitch a shutout

 

[Matty]

Ovie with 7 goals in two games. On pace for 287.

Ovie with 7 goals in two games. On pace for 287.

7 is a decent season amount for most players..

 

[Mudcat]

No NHL player has ever had three straight hat tricks - so Ovie is going for that tonight.

Also going for his first assist of the season.

 

[Blitty]

I got HUGH bet on Chicago.

Go Hawks.

HUGH airbet


lololololololololololol

 

[Mudcat]

The Leafs had a two man advantage and got scored on. That does not happen every day.

 

[Mudcat]

It's odd though, being a Leafs fan - particularly given my early life fandom of the Habs. I'll tell you what I mean specifically.

The greatest Leaf of all time - in the 100-ish year history of the franchise - is Dave Keon. That's an official thing. Dave Keon is #1 on the list.

Now I remember Dave Keon a bit. Very good player. Solid two-way center. Won Cups.

But greatest player in the history of your franchise?

I don't know how many Habs there have been that would be considered greater than Dave Keon but the number would be closer to 20 than 2.

 

[Mudcat]

Speaking of Leafs and Habs, Habs have 14 straight wins in head-to-head match-ups.

And they meet tonight.

 

[Mudcat]

No but seriously man, how many franchises have had players that would be considered greater than Dave Keon, the #1 guy in the hundred year history of the Leafs? All of the original 6 for sure - but how many post-expansion teams?

Most?

Again, Dave Keon - fine player. Won a Conn Smythe and a Calder. Coupla Lady Byngs FWIW.

But couldn't make Team Canada. A couple of second team all-star selections was it for the career.

Here's my bold prediction: by the time Auston Matthews is done, he will be considered the greatest Toronto Maple Leaf of all time.
