A couple things before the home-opener: the pre-game festivities will apparently be kicking off at 5:30pm at the ACC. Coverage will begin at 6pm I read. You're likely to see this pretty cool video played a few times:

You also might have heard that the Leafs will move to one permanent anthem singer for this season. Scott Wheeler over at PPP had a nice feature on her if you wanted to give it a read: http://www.pensionplanpuppets.com/2016/10/14/13270894/meet-martina-ortiz-luis-the-youngest-star-of-the-toronto-maple-leafs-centennial-season

What's up with the Leivo situation?

What's up with the Leivo situation?

Minimum IR stint is 7 days, though, clearly, CtB forgot about him.

 

[Arn]

Excited for this one already and it's still a good 9 hours til face off. Mostly looking forward to seeing what Matthews can do as an encore and if Marner can continue his strong play. And hopefully Andersen will look a little more solid also

Oh, and also to hear the Deadmau5 Leafs song

Who are you guys talking about?

edit: Also I got halfway through the GDT before realizing we were playing Boston and not Columbus, so, yeah

 

[Redleaf]

When can we stop pretending Matthews is our 3rd line center? Lol

Prediction: Leafs win. A better effort from Andersen.

Omitting the Josh Leivo like he didn't even exist on this earth is inexcusable.

You owe everyone, including Mr. Leivo, a well-worded apology.

Maybe, but that shouldn't distract us from the main point, which is that an anagram of his name is Mr. Olive.

Should be another fun night for Matthews, when you look at that Bruins D corps.  And we thought we had problems.

GO LEAFS GO!!!

 

[Fanatic]

Any chance that the entire 90 minute ceremony is available somewhere online?

 

[Arn]

More interestingly, any chance the game will start anywhere near 7?

 

[LuncheonMeat]

Didn't Babcock say just yesterday that he loves Rielly on the left side? Just curious why they have him lined up on the right.

GLG!!

That's how they were tweeted out, but yeah it's possible it's Rielly on the left.

So the Leafs are retiring their previously "honoured" jersey numbers tonight. It was rumoured 14 would be retired for Keon but it's all of them.

1, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, 10, 13, 14, 17, 21, 27, and 93 are no longer in use.

Via @3rdPeriodSuits/Wikipedia:

Plus Keon's 14 is going up to the rafters of course.

JVR switches from 21 to 25.

 

[TBLeafer]

I must say, it's nice to see those particular respected and revered numbers, retired in the rafters for good.

Well done!

It was really cool of Gamecentre Live to not kick in for the pre-game stuff. Real cool indeed.

I followed along on twitter but didn't see it being streamed anywhere.

That's too bad Carlton, those old boys were all emotional and stuff.
