The Leafs-Habs game is not on national TV tonight in the US. WTF?

The last time the Avs had this much hype, these guys were on the team.

Kariya and Selanne on Avs seem so weird.

The Sakic,Forsberg,Foote,Roy Avs was a team I loved.

I doubt we'll see the North division games airing in the US much if at all.

Kinda wish they'd cut the fake crowd noise and mic up the ice more. Hockey has the best natural sound of any sport. I know why they won't do it -- just read any players lips after a goal -- but still wish they would.

Like you said, it's obvious why we won't.

Hockey has worse language during games than probably all sports, maybe minus NFL.

I'm fine with just regular background chatter noise during games. Just make sure to have crowds cheering with a goal.

There are only two ways to verbally celebrate a goal... **** yeah and ****ing A! I'll make a possible exception for an intense let's go boys when you're down a few and need to spark a comeback.

I waited 5 months for this?

You acquire Matheson and Ceci in the off-season and this is what you get, even after getting rid of the worst d-man in the league.

That could prove true but I suspect we'll see a lot of sloppy hockey, especially in the next few weeks.

Damn, you're right. I didn't consider that when the realignment was released. Looks like I have to spring for Center Ice.

Re: The Official 2020-2021 Season Talk Thread

Are we sure the Leafs are the faves in the North?

Andersen playing like typical October Andersen, and Bogosian takes 2 penalties and Leafs allow 2 goals on those penalties.

Re: The Official 2020-2021 Season Talk Thread

Jackets and Dubois seem to be on bad terms.

Laine future in Winnipeg uncertain.

Do we dare see a Laine for Dubois swap?

Re: The Official 2020-2021 Season Talk Thread

I like hockey again.

5-4 Leafs in OT after trailing throughout the game, down 3-1 at one point.

Andersen still looks shaky, hopefully he gets over that slump quick.

Funny story, I played Leafs vs Habs earlier today and it ended 5-4 Leafs in a SO.

Aside from Ottawa ending up in the basement, I have no read whatsoever on the "North" Division. These are all seriously flawed teams. I think Calgary has the highest ceiling if Markstrom stays healthy and maintains his form of the last two seasons.

Re: The Official 2020-2021 Season Talk Thread

Are the Avs sporting brighter-colored jerseys this year or is my TV's color balance off? Looks different from last year.
