What we need in Canada needs is a good old-fashioned atlas burning.

There is a second line to the thread title that, I think, covers it.

14 The number of times back-to-back games have been scheduled to begin a season in Club history. 6 Of these, the number starting with a home game. 7 The number of seasons with the first five games as only one home or one road game in Club history. 4 Of these, the number starting with a home game. 7 The day number of both the scheduled regular season opener and season finale. 1 The number of times this has happened in Club history

Toronto Star. I wonder where the judge's free season ticket seats are?

No Verlander? I'll believe it when I see it.

From TSN:

CTV.

Newsday.

CBC.

From TSN:

It's time for the Leafs to play "Wheel of Centres".

No cameraman left behind.

Sometimes, no. All New York wanted was another day to play; now, they have it. Suzyn Waldman, the colour commentator on the WCBS games on radio, was quick to report the exodus in the eighth. It couldn't possibly have been the game; it must have been a natural chemical reaction between the clear, cool October night and 1,4-Dichlorobenzene.

I wish I could still order the DRW Media Guide.

From Calgary Herald:

That was a pretty impressive outing.

Toronto Star.

It needs to be changed; the League says it's big on making the game safer and this is as good a place as any to do it. Reminds me of the second "elimination" scene from They Shoot Horses, Don't They?.

From Toronto Star:

Super.
