As a young boy, I learned to play hockey in Southern Ontario, and I know what great fans they have there. It’s my hope they too will have an NHL franchise in the not too distant future.

Hockey fans in Toronto are also hoping to have an NHL franchise one day too!

You're annoying! Can't you come up with anything new once in a while? Are you really as stupid as you sound?

another stepping stone for the young and talented Leafs...... Detroit had almost every regular playing while the Leafs had about half of theirs and they still pulled out a shootout win....... i no it's only preseason but alot of good things are happening with this new look Leafs team..... Stalberg once again impressed with 3 points, the kid is gonna be a star, and remember where you heard that first,,,,,,,again the name is Viktar STALBERG! , remember boys and girls, REMEMBER That Name!

 

[Doc Holliday]

I agree that Stalberg has been extremely impressive in the games he played. But Hanson, Kadri, Bozak & Gunnarson have also impressed the heck out of me!

It's quite likely that those young players won't be rushed into the NHL & will likely spend a good part of the season in the minors or in junior. But thats' actually quite refreshing, knowing that such good young players with unlimited potential will be in a Maple Leafs uniform in 1, 2 or 3 years. Finally, the Leafs future is a bright one!!

I'm so impressed with the defence. Francois Beauchemin is a horse & will be looked upon as a leader on that young team. I'm predicting that he'll soon be named the team's captain, with her Komisarek, Kaberle or Stajan as his alternates.

Who's the Habs' captain? Oh, that's right....they probably won't have one this season.

Fool #2,

Give your pea-brained head a shake. Do you think Detroit was really trying in a meaningless game against a bottom feeding team like Toronto? Do you think guys like Lidstrom, Franzen, Datsyuk and Holmstrom are competing for jobs on their team and therefore need to make an impression on the coach in the hopes of securing a roster spot? Detroit starts the season in Sweden – they’re just hoping to get out of the pre-season without any injuries.

Delusional Leaf fans are drinking too much of Blowhard Burke’s blue&white kool-aid.

I think you will see Bozak and Stalberg make the team come Oct1. maybe and i hope, Kadri, at least for a 9 game trial ......

Francios or Komi would make excellent Captians for a few years until Schenn is ready to handle the responsibility....... on another note, Stajan is not a Burke type guy and is gonna make the team based on last years point totals, he has done little in preseason and time will tell if he stays or used as trade bait

Habs head off to Christian ranch

Likely praying to make the playoffs next season, among other things:

Praise the Lord!

 

[G1GBallday]

Well it didn't do much for these two teams last year. http://www.teenranch.on.ca/hockey/

NHL teams such as the Ottawa Senators and Toronto Maple Leafs have utilized our arena for development camps.

My guess is the Habs were invited and comped by the place in order to get rid of the loser vibe left behind by those two.

Yes, Praise the Lord for more dumb comments from Idiot#1!


http://www.teenranch.on.ca/hockey/

NHL teams such as the Ottawa Senators and Toronto Maple Leafs have utilized our arena for development camps. The Florida Panthers and St. Michael's Majors are our annual guests for their development camps as well. National and Olympic teams from Canada, Finland,Russia, Germany, Switzerland, Australia and New Zealand add to the list of International guests.

you lose again, fool!

How about praying to make the Stanley Cup finals - just once - after 42 straight seasons of futility!

 

[JustBob]

The Habs will be the only playoff team to spend 5 consecutive days in Ontario this season. What a thrill this must be for Ontarians!

 

[Doc Holliday]

As of noon today:

Habs cut Sergei Kostitsyn. No big surprise there. The young lad has a lot of personal problems (social problems i should say) and his main focus isn't on hockey.

Toronto has cut Jason Allison & Andy Rogers. They had granted a tryout to those two free agents. They've sent down Jonas Frogren to the minors. Nazem Kadri has been returned to the London Knights of the OHL. They've announced that Viktor Stalberg has made the team. He'll likely be the only rookie to start the season with the Leafs.

Meanwhile, the Habs are off to a Christian camp for some bonding & praying. Not sure which of the two comes first. As for the Leafs, they're off to the Muskoka area to play some paintball & relax in the pool.

Big game on Thursday between the two teams & the doc will be in attendance, right behind the Leafs bench next to Larry Tanenbaum. If you see a guy wearing a cowboy hat passing notes to Ron Wilson, it might just be the doc.

You guys in sports threads are boring for us Mods! You call each other names, you kick each other asses but you always stay in "buddy mode" with respect in the background.

Don't change please, you got it right... Well... Most of the time...

Rumor has it that Mod11 is a Leafs fan......... way to go!

Igna, now, stop the insults or I'll ban you until the Leafs win the cup!

(However, the Leafs will win the Cup before the Habs ever will again!)
