Go Leafs.

It's kind of funny reading the different *sports writers* takes on this upcoming season, how this team or that, or this player or that, is going to do.

It never ends up being close to what actually happens.

I'm pretty sure my Leafs will do okay through the season, only to fall apart in the playoffs, as a Leaf fan, one gets accustomed to it.

My Red Wings will hopefully be on the way back up the standings. We were spoiled for so long. I have faith in Yzerman!

As well you should. His pedigree speaks for itself.

Going to apologize up front for being a Boston Guy.

The Bruins broke my heart last year, lets see how they do this year.

Canes open tomorrow night against Ottawa at home. Then they're on the road for 6 games because of the NC state fair. I think we're made our defense better by adding Orlov and bringing back D'Angelo. We'll see.
Goaltending, goaltending, goaltending. Gonna be the same guys this year. Let's hope for some improvement.

Regardless, I'm excited.

Just announced: Barry Melrose, my good friend, is retiring from ESPN/ABC broadcasting to deal with Parkinson's. He will be sorely missed in the NHL family.

Sorry to hear that. Always enjoyed Barry's commentary. Give him my best going forward.

Hey Larry, great thread! .

Sorry to hear about Melrose' Parkinson's. Sad news. I saw him play in the AHL when he was with the Adirondack Red Wings when he came to town.

As far as the season goes, I'm wondering what the Bruins will do. I'd rather see them fight for a playoff spot and go in hungry instead of what happened last year.

Same thing with MLB - only 1 team of the four top seeded teams won their first round.

Get a load of Vegas. 6 - 0! Right where they left off last season. Impressive for sure.

A rarity: All 32 teams playing tonight! ESPN2 will do whip around coverage of all the games and ESPN will have a triple header. Enjoy!

I started watching hockey as a Kings fan in Barry's era. I wish him the best.

Currently I live in the PNW and am rooting for the Kraken, which is a hard road, haha.
