Great Convo guys! Merry Christmas 2020 and Happy New Covid-Free 2021 ! All these new players are really great acquisitions....hard to spotlight a single player.. Thornton, Simmonds, Bogosian all bring grit and experience! We have the goods, let's get at 'er (drops mic) !

Let’s do this!

[@rickmartin4886]

Yes you have the goods to get to 55 years without a Cup establishing a new benchmark of futility in the NHL in two years. let's get at 'er (drops mic) !

Most interested to see what simmonds and thorton add to the leafs in terms of grit.

From a place of nostalgia, and need.

Most interesting to see how many holding and hooking penalties the way past their prime old slow turtles take as they try to keep up with today's fast paced NHL.

Im in Red Deer. I see the WJHC vehicles cruising around sometimes. Pretty cool! Anyway, great show guys as always! As for the question I'm excited to see Thornton as a leaf because of who he is. However, I'm also excited to see Simmonds drop the gloves when someone messes with our core players . GLG. Just so excited to get this season going!

[@aarish2332]

All great acquisitions but the one I’m most excited for is TJ brodie. Finally Reilly has a great partner and Brodie is good defensively in his own zone which was a defensemen we desperately needed this offseason and got it and he’s also good at moving the puck .We finally got a great reliable defensemen top four who is good defensively in his own zone which is type of defensemen we needed and Brodie is also top 10 in least amount of d zone giveaways.

[@johnhoward9638]

Let’s see what we have with our new Leafs. We also need the Core 4 to produce as well. The team as a whole needs to Produce.

Take no prisoners, lets get some canadien bragging rights!!!go leafs go!!

[@rickmartin4886]

Yes you'll be bragging in two years when your team is in the Guinness Book of World Records for NHL Futility 55 years removed from a Championship making them the BIGGEST NHL LOSERS! lol

[@rickmartin4886]

Ask your family physician if paliperidone is the right medication for you. It should help with the whole "take no prisoners" thing. Give it a few days to take effect though and if it doesn't work, go back and I'm sure your family physician will increase the dosage where the medication will be effective and take care of those illusions and delusions of grandeur you're experiencing! lol

[@rickmartin4886]

part of what you said makes sense: canadiens bragging rights! lol

[@johnweichel4238]

Leafs will win the cup thris year

[@sealiferr]

I think if Bogo stays home and keeps his nose clean...he could be the PK specialist and the third pairing rearguard, not seen around these parts since Ron Hainsey.

[@rickmartin4886]

Maybe a good hard blast from Weber will teach Bogo not to be such a pylon and move once in awhile! lol

[@bskinny9009]

Sandin has a good hockey iq.

[@duncanmac2195]

Simmonds at 30 makes a good 3rd liner and says he feels healthier than he has for years. Thornton may only be a 4th liner, so what? Robertson can easily replace Johansson. Brodie and Bogo is an upgrade on Ceci and Marincin in every way and Lehtonen, let's find out. If he tanks ,Sanding is a year older. We also have Campbell for the whole year. Cup? Let's finish high and win a round first. Sure we need another power forward but this team is harder to play against and won't get pushed around. It's a start.

[@robm9999]

Hey Mike, it's "New Found Land", just like the word "understand". Understand Newfoundland. Not new fund land. Got it? I'm curious to see how Jumbo Joe works out, but really I am high on Brodie and hope the Leafs finally have a solid D this year. They'll need it with all the speed and skill in this Canadian division. Otherwise good job guys, as always.

[@rickmartin4886]

Dumbo Joe and Smoking Old Wayne Simmonds will constantly be in the penalty box from all the holding and hooking penalties they will be taking trying to keep up to the game. Is this the year Brodie turns over a new LEAF and starts throwing hits and dropping the gloves once in awhile? I seriously doubt it! lol He compliments Scooby Doos figure skating charmin soft bunch perfectly. Solid D and Leafs do not belong in the same sentence in Newfoundland or any other province in the country for that matter capiche? LOL
