Hmmm... https://twitter.com/TSNBobMcKenzie/status/1178072277923049473

Does anybody really care?  Besides seeing Matthews and Rielly on the young guns team, is there anything that gets you motivated to watch this? I feel there's been minimal hype around the city and it just seems so forced. 

With training camp days away, figured we could close the book on last year's thread and start this year's.

Gary Bettman is going to formally announce an expansion process.  Not the greatest kept secret.  Congratulations to Las Vegas in advance. http://www.sportsnet.ca/hockey/nhl/nhl-to-announce-opening-of-expansion-process/

Well that came out of nowhere... http://www.sportsnet.ca/hockey/nhl/new-jersey-devils-name-ray-shero-gm/

...who do they pursue to coach this team? Much has been made about waiting upon Babcock's availability.  And if not him, then maybe a McLellan if fired by San Jose, or Paul MacLean, maybe Pete DeBoer, etc. In the case of Babcock, unless the Leafs offered him something like a 10-year, $40...

Much is being made ado (by media members at least) about the subtle change of pushing back 29 games (22 home, 7 away) from a 7 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. start time.  Where do you stand?  Do you care?

On the eve of the election, this is the most I've ever been in tune with an election trying to understand each party's platform.  I generally have minimal interest in politics as I think pretty much all politicians are lying fools, but this election has me intrigued.  Unfortunately, it feels...

I think the previous thread ran its course.  With training camp upon us, let's flip the page to the new season and continue our chatter here.

We've seen MLB drop the hammer on Braun, and plans to do so to many more.  Here's a snippet from an article on TSN which bred this poll: "Fischer told "Outside the Lines" that at least one player from various leagues had received PEDs from Tony Bosch, the clinic's founder. In addition to Major...

Didn't think Tampa Bay was willing to spend the money to do it. I'd be all over him as a 1st line centre for this team.  And all it would cost is money.

8 years, $76M -- $9.5M cap hit. The Pens put to rest pretty quickly all the speculation that was already growing.  Can't go wrong securing two of the best players in the world for at least the next eight years.

MacLean, Boudreau and Quenneville. I'm sure many expected Carlyle to be up for this award, with a similar argument to be made for Therrien and even a guy like Todd Richards. All did great jobs, but none are more deserving than MacLean in my eyes.

Hotly debated issue.  I'm not firm on an opinion either way, but understand both viewpoints.

The NBA is set to have ads placed on their jerseys starting in the 2013-14 season.  With Bettman known to follow the NBA's footsteps, many believe it's only a matter of time before the NHL also taps into this revenue resource.  Some even suggest this could become a topic in the CBA discussions...

Tomorrow the inductees for this year will be announced. This year is of particular interest to us Leaf fans as Sundin is on the ballot for the first time, along with Sakic, Shanahan and Roenick.  Holdovers such as Bure, Lindros, Mogilny and Andreychuk will have another shot.  Who do you think...

I want to keep this as a separate discussion from the trade itself wherein we can concentrate solely on Schenn and his tenure here. Schenn, the guy deemed to be the start of a new era in Toronto, a #5 pick who was labelled as a future Leaf captain from the get-go, a player that was supposed to...

You would think the whole Phoenix saga will come to an end one way or another this year.  A lot of steam was building up that Quebec was the primary candidate for the Coyotes, particularly with the fact they intend to build a new arena the next couple years. Seattle was always mentioned, but...
