Yes, but I'm up in Albany often visiting friends so it's actually more convenient for me
I've seen it with my own eyes in the GM connected trailer. Behind the bench coaching, but for the life of me I can't fucking figure out how to do it.
150 according to the website, but that's still a lot of money to only be able to watch one team. Sort of eliminates the fun of subscribing to a service like that, too; I like watching lots of good out of market games

Vesa Toskala has officially retired.
When will the Leafs be retiring his number?

say what? No, it's not behind the bench. It's like the Be a GM offline mode, just online.
They show a behind the bench perspective in the GM Connected trailer with what looks like the strategy/management interface UI on screen. I'm sure it's EA lies and wizardry, but the UI being shown from that view makes me think maybe it actually exists in some capacity.

ah, yeah, that exists I think, but... no, that's not the main feature of that thing. The main feature is that it's Be a GM in online, with trades between humans and entry drafts and free agency and shit. It's glorious.

I'm liking what I'm reading about Leo Komarov (Leafs prospect). He has the opportunity to make huge bank in Russia, and actually stayed behind an extra year to win the KHL championship last season, but ended up moving to Toronto to play in the NHL this season instead. He's with the Marlies due to the lockout, but I like his mindset:
Respect.
One of the Leafs' greats. Sad 2 c him go. =(

What a stupid thing to say...
Leafs don't retire numbers. We'll be raising his banner in about 2 seasons.
Aww
Vesa was such a good backup in his years here. Couldn't handle the big show though.

Vesa was an awesome Ducks backup too. I liked the part where he played zero games.
So he's like Schultz?

Damn, the Checkers spend all of October on the road. The same week they have their home opener we need to be in Charleston for a hockey tourney and then the following weekend in Pittsburgh.
Maybe we can scoot down there for a game the weekend before T-giving.
By then fucking Bettman will have cancelled half the NHL season, the douchebag.

Yes. Never again will a Maple Leaf wear 1E.
True, the Leafs only retire the numbers of players who have died. Toskala did that about 20 times a season from what I can recall.

So there's talk the NHL wants to bring in replacement players in November if things don't get settled by then ? It comes from Bill Watters so I don't even think this is very legit but can they even do that ? It's not a strike, players technically want to play.
Would anyone here even watch scabs play in the NHL ?

Eh, I'd WATCH in the same way I watch AHL, college, or Euro hockey from time to time. There's no way I'd really care all that much and while I'd cheer for the Flyers, I wouldn't have any strong preference for them over other teams.
And yeah... there would be a legal mess. Manageable, but a mess.

If its hockey I'll watch it. I'm not gonna pay to go see it live but I'll watch it on tv.

You have to think the NHL is going to seriously reconsider bringing in replacement players right after the recent NFL ref fiasco though.
That said, it's still Bettman. It will be hysterical to watch when it blows up in his face and everyone is going, "You watched the EXACT same thing happen less than a month earlier. How the hell did you not see this coming?"

This is rapidly descending into a farce. Can they even agree that 2+2 = 4 at this point ?

My god the owners are jerks. Guys are barely making millions and now they have to share a room on the road. Every player should get at least a suite to themselves, and they should all have personal doctors.

I bet players would be sharing rooms on the road if they had to pay for it.

Leafs-AGE what do you guys think about Cody Fransson? He just signed for my team here in Sweden and from the looks of it, for me it seems like a great signing. We need a big defensively good defender and one that can play Power Play but at the time we only have space for one in the roster without phasing out a young guy and he seems to fit both descriptions. Apparently he´s not quite at NHL level yet but I think he will do fine in SEL. If we were allowed to sign lockout players I would prefer someone else but we can´t and he seems like good option since he doesn´t have an NHL contract.

I can answer this one! They love him/think he will deliver them to the cup AND want him to die in a horrible accident because he makes everyone on the team worse and is a worthless piece of crap.

It's going to be interesting to watch the reception in Philly to Luke Schenn over the next few years (assuming we have hockey again within a few years) and compare to what happened in TO.

Philly fans will love him as long as he keeps hitting people.

Currently indifferent to him. More annoyed that Homer wasted the asset that was JVR on him.
Exactly.

I imagine if there was another young D-man out there you could have gotten for JVR Holmgren would have pulled the trigger.
brucewaynegretzky

JVR should have been part of a larger package for a clear impact player. This deal could certainly make Homer look like a genius of L. Schenn pans out, so I'm not REALLY annoyed, but JVR was part of a lot of bigger rumors for a long time. Combine that with the crap he got for Bob and it just looks like he missed opportunities. He also really constrained himself by creating a situation where no one is readily shoppable. Most of the guys left are long term or clear blue chips that we want to keep around.

Petrovic is such a beast. WHL dman of the year, most points for a d-man for Rampage in the Calder playoffs, and now is set to be 1st pairing on the Rampage.
