WELCOME TO THE JUNGLE GOALIEDAVE31. Highlander and Carleton were the two gentlemen that welcomed me here a few years ago on post #1. I perpetuate the cycle. A fine season indeed to be a Buds Booster. The talk these days is our young superstars and their contracts, a far cry from discussing the merits of having Clarke Wilm in the lineup ;)

Also, a fricking TIM KERR sighting.

Chris Chelios
Larry Robinson
Bob Gainey
Bobby Smith
Guy Carboneau
Mats Naslund
Mike McPhee

Yes Roy was fantastic in the playoffs but that's a pretty good collection of players

The 93 Habs were about equal to the 93 Leafs. Strong team with better goaltending. Roy was good but still had a decent team to play behind.

JT beats AM in opening faceoff of scrimmage. 1C confirmed.
 
I've said it before and I'll say it again: Johnny Toronto looks frickin' beautiful in the Royal Blue & White.

The Dermottologist is on record as saying JT's hands in tight are "elite".

Just a reminder, Leafs are rolling TWO #1 lines ALL SEASON LONG :D
1A) Marleau-Matthews-Nylander.
1B) Hyman-Tavares-Marner.

Marc Savard on Tavares & Marner:

Fun Fact: Hyman-Tavares-Marner can be the GTA line. All three hail from the Greater Toronto Area.

Both lines will be magical, but as I like to say, moreso perhaps Tavares/Marner.  Something about these two -- both their styles -- complement each other so well.  They're unique yet they blended from the get go.
 
Scotty Bowman on PTS talks Leafs:
https://www.sportsnet.ca/590/prime-time-sports/sept-19-scotty-bowman-on-the-new-look-leafs/

Interesting point, Matt Moulson and Kyle Okposo got nice contracts after Tavares setting them up for 30-35 goal seasons. His wingers have gotta be salivating.
 
Breakout: D to Tavares to Marner with speed, gains line drop-pass to Lillypad one-timer for rebound to JT under the bar :D

It's awkward explaining to my wife why I'm weeping every night.

I just blame it on depression, but it's secretly because I can't emotionally handle that we're going to witness the first 82-0 season ever.
 
I know when choosing a team to play for that I would pick the rival of the team I grew up cheering who has a closed window on contention and likely will have 3-4 years of being prevented from truly being awful enough to have a quick rebuild because their goaltender (if healthy) is too good.

Total non-story but I do remember being personally insulted when Rick Nash resigned in CLB.
 
I really don't understand how anyone is personally insulted when someone signs for another team. I mean, I guess I could see that a fan might be a bit pissed off, but to be personally insulted seems like an entirely other level
