Almost Game Day

Fanatic

New member
Although I think my overall level of caring about hockey (and the Leafs in particular) has slipped because of the lockout I am happy that it is almost gameday.

Months of talking about lockout, greedy owners/players, CBA, was replaced by shortened training camps, accelerated buyouts, lineup shuffling etc. etc. etc. It is finally time to move past all that nonsense and, for the first time in over nine months, drop the puck at a Leafs game and just play on.

I am wondering if maybe someone with the talent to do so would start a gameday thread sooner than the normal rule of 24 hours (and the site would allow it just this once) and attention could start to shift from everything about hockey that is off-ice to the game itself. Finally. It is time to just play hockey.

Lockout over. Camp (nearly) over. Game on!
 
I usually cook up a storm for the first game.. This year... it'll be a leg of Lamb and rosemarry potatoes. The Beer? Well.. It might just have to be Stella. 8) Game on!!

Leafs will play Monday's home opener for free. Season ticket holders will not be billed. About 1,000 remaining tix will be given away.

(and no I don't follow him on twitter)

Wow.  Deebo - did you have to pay for your tickets?
 
I am so weak..... my absolute indifference from the lockout has disappeared. I think the Burke firing had the effect on me of almost making me forget the lockout. Weird. I was sure I would hold out for a while.

But I am all in for watching all the games I can tomorrow.

Go Leafs Go!

This is a pretty cool idea: http://www.thestar.com/sports/leafs/article/1316876--leafs-jersey-in-blocks-of-ice-spring-up-around-town

Yeah, that's pretty cool. It's nice that they're thinking a little outside the box, instead of just giving away free tickets and food (which they are still are anyway).
 
My totally awesome little sister scored me tickets to March 14 vs Pittsburgh! Taking my daughter who's crushing in Sidney Crosby... Hope he stays healthy.
 
I was pretty bitter during this lockout.. but honestly, now that it's back I'll probably watch every game. Only streams though.. no centre ice for me this year.
