Go Leafs and teams not playing Toronto tonight


Remember that the Leafs 100th pregame ceremony already started and won't end until puckdrop

Since they're doing it, I'm glad they're doing it in one shot rather than having a ceremony every game.

Also 18 numbers out of circulation now is even more than the Habs...

he had one notable season, where he still got hurt for a huge chunk of it. otherwise he was a low end first liner/good second liner player for 9 injury plagued years.

some teams have lower standards than others.

The standards are in proportion to how much success you've had in recent years.

That was a really cool moment when Toronto retired all their previous honored numbers, then announced that there was one more number to retire, and Phil Kessel came out.

But if the Leafs retired all the numbers at once, how will they continue their long and storied and extremely annoying and stupid tradition of lengthy pregame ceremonies every single loving week?

Been waiting a decade for a legal way to stream CBJ games while on vacation on Florida. Gone are the days of watching the Bottom Line on ESPN, shady streams, and the Private Window trick. Thanks to FSGO, I finally have it. Just wish I had a decent team to watch. :argh:

They could start retiring numbers / jerseys from other Toronto sports teams.

Danny Dichio's #9 to be retired in recognition of his accomplishments in a TFC shirt.
