Take a number and join the queue on that point. I suspect more than a few folks have the season opener marked on the calendar.

As a fellow English Leaf, welcome aboard.

Welcome! I suggest purchasing NHL Gamecenter Live if you're going to be in England trying to watch Leafs games. I'm in Australia and I've yet to miss a game because of it. You'll be able to pause games, or watch them later/at your own time, which is handy for the different time zones.

I have bookmarked the page and am going to register in the morning so I can see some of the games I missed last season. Thanks for telling me about it 8)

Hey folks thanks for the welcome :)
Yep as some have guessed I am a Geordie living in the south of Scotland (well the borders) and my team has always been Newcastle United, I know i said we havent won any silverware but maybe I should have said major silverwear as in competitions FA Cup etc. Whilst the Championship league win was awesome, it wasn't celebrated as a major trophy as such (apart from those in the bigg market etc) but it helped to ease the relegation feeling of the season before.

I do in fact mean the Europa Competition but to be fair to Newcastle its still a major breakthrough. Some folk have said we were lucky to finish where we did, and if that is the case, I for one will grab it with both hands and hold on for the ride however bumpy it will be. I don't get much time now to attend matched due to a few factors, a couple of them being the distance to travel and the fact that I have an elderly parent I look after on a full time basis. However I lend my support where I can.

I'm beginning to feel the same way about the leafs, no matter how crap they play or how lucky we get I will still lend my support as little as that is right now :P.

I would love to see the leafs get into the playoffs and will celebrate when that eventually happens, no matter how long it takes.

BTW I am probably going to get shot for this but, Tyler Bozak is one of my fav players, I like how he plays. He has potential but hes far from perfect I guess.

The Borders eh? I'm from Jedburgh originally....a fellow magpie to boot....
