I am not planning out the parade route just yet but with last year and now the way this season is starting off, they are fun to watch again.

Pretty happy for my wife's cousin, James Neal getting the first ever goal for the Golden Knights. Getting the second one, or both goals in their win put a big smile on my face as well.

Well the Rangers - Toronto game last night was very entertaining! I hope Toronto has a good year and goes far in the playoffs. I do like watching them and always root for James van Riemsdyk from my home state of NJ. Mike

I try not to get too carried away during the regular season, because I know that the playoffs are a totally different thing. A lot of teams that kick butt during the regular season end up choking in the playoffs.

It's nice to see the Leafs winning some games now, but with their current D-men, they will probably get eliminated in the first round again. I like Morgan Rielly, but the other guys are just useless. They need a top 4 D-man.

Especially those that win the Presidents Trophy.

I am the same, Rielly is good but that's about as far as it goes. Gardiner, although he can be good at times, has far too many brain cramps and does stupid sh*t all the time!
Personally, I am not sure how he has stuck with the club but Bab's must see something he likes or can work with? \

And yes, far to early, like I mentioned above, about planning the parade route just yet, with any team.

17 for the Hawks and only 2 against. They're showing Toronto's weakness on defense tonight and if it wasn't for Andersen, it could easily be 4-5 nothing right now!

I am torn. Do I watch the Leafs get their butts kicked or watch the Indians kick the Yankees butts?

Well, I was wrong on both games.

I was switching back and forth but mainly watching the ballgame. When the score got out of reach, I switched back to the hockey game just in time to watch Mathews get that beautiful goal!

What a great hockey player he is turning out to be!
