2022-23 Toronto Maple Leafs General Discussion

[CarltonTheBear]

Hey, at least it's not like Bet365 or something.

It's bad but not as obtrusive as it could be so I guess that's something. Not that I was in great danger of buying a jersey soon anyway but this is definitely another nail in the coffin.

Just a FYI:

Can fans buy NHL jerseys without ads on them?

Absolutely. The authentic Adidas jerseys that are sold online will not have sponsor patches on them. The NHL's jersey ad policy states that teams should apply a sponsor patch at arena stores only if fans request it -- otherwise, they'll have the chance to buy an authentic jersey without the patch.

Wachtel said this setup could change in the future. As of now, that's the only way fans can get the patch.

The "Breakaway" fan replica jerseys will also not feature sponsor patches for the 2022-23 season, according to Fanatics. Essentially, any jersey purchased at the NHL's ecommerce store will not have the jersey patch.

Just a side note story, I went to SVP sports the other day (I don?t get how they are priced so low) and I was talking to the manager and I was saying that I can?t buy modern jerseys with a name
On it because I find it really weird wearing the name of player that?s younger than me.

Side, side note. They have a Gaudreau authentic jersey for 39.99. That price almost seems spiteful.

"Milk"???

When I seen this I thought it was an April Fool's joke...kind of like the "Jersey" sweater.

Believing what it must cost the industry to put this patch on the sweater, they are going to have to turn the automatic milk machines on the
cows up to 11.

Buyt I still think this is an elaborate prank.....

I know some people have differing opinions, but does it really matter? You're repping your favourite player because of their skill, not their age.

I?m not sure how to address that. I feel weird about it. Of course it ?doesn?t matter? it?s just my personal feeling.

The Senators have also announced their jersey sponsor:

Eyeballs the Tavares deal expiry...
Guy - McDavid (16M) - Nylander (8.8M)
Guy - Matthews (15.34M) - Marner (12M)
Guy - Tavares (800k) - Guy
Guy - Guy - Guy

I think it's doable.

What happens if the leafs start the season with 21 skaters and are right at the cap. Then, six of the skaters are injured but not on the LTIR.  That leaves them with 15 skaters on the roster for game one of the season. If no one is on the LTIR, there is no cap relief and they cannot add a player.  Do they play a game with 15 skaters?  (I am guessing not.). Is there some kind of emergency exception rule?

A little bit of math and variety to spice up your run up to the NHL Season

The Athletic is running down their team projections as well (5 team chunks at a time) and the Leafs haven't been posted yet as the top 5 remains to be revealed.

Clicks are good!

I don't think he truly believes the Leafs will miss, just that there is a non-zero chance they fall out due to goaltending imploding. He had us winning the Cup a couple of years ago and I'm seeing this (and Micah's projection) as a reverse jinx.

The entire thing hinges on goaltending.  Last year this same site said the Leafs goaltending of Campbell/Mrazek was IMPROVED from the previous year (which was obviously 100% incorrect).  Now he's saying the combo of Murray/Samsonov is far worse than Campbell/Mrzaek, I find that hard to believe but we'll see I guess.
