Lots of pics and footage from the practice and alumni game today so I took the liberty of starting a thread before CtB's tomorrow!

Great on them to have the old Leafs mingle with the new stars:
'Potvin said he spoke with Andersen and told the Dane how special playing in Toronto can be. "I told him how incredible this city is when you're winning," said Potvin, who backstopped the Leafs' back-to-back trips to the conference finals in '93 and '94. "The other sports are fine, but hockey in this city when you're winning? It's unbeatable."'
"For the first time in a long time, I?m actually excited. I?ve been away from it," Domi admits, "Now I?m watching like everyone else. [Coach Mike Babcock] has them on the right path. These kids, they don?t give up. They play hard every shift. That?s what I like to see. It?s what I notice most."
"When you hear people talk about the Leafs? young guys, they talk about how nice young men they are. That?s means a lot to us former players?to hear that they?re good boys," says Roberts. He stresses the importance of a talented core in the same age range growing together over the years.
"That?s what you want: an organization and team that?s a family. It improves the culture. They?re all battling through ups and downs together. They?re feeding off each other?s energy and experiences to become a better team, and you can see it."
"The guy sitting right here, I?ve been watching since he was 11 or 12 years old," Gilmour says of Marner. "He played against my boys, so I?m cheering for him. He?s a great kid. Before the numbers were retired, they were asking about 93. I said, ?One hundred per cent. If he wants to wear it, wear it.? "
Fun fact: Mitch Marner was born AFTER Toronto traded Doug Gilmour to New Jersey!
