I'm happy, this guy scored 32 goals before and 25 last season I think.

Mike Keane has been invited to training camp...

if he makes it...league minimum...I don't think the Leafs would regret his presence and experience in the dressing room...hopefully he comes on board.

huge potential this year...but that's just it...potential.

IF Lindros, Allison, O'Neil and Belfour stay healthy...we should put forth a respectable season and make the playoffs for sure.

cup run? perhaps not, lol...but with all the player and rule changes, hockey should be fun to watch this year!

That is why I am calling them the Toronto Maple Ifs this year....everything revolves around the IF factor

there's no doubt the Leafs will make the playoffs, even if 2 of those players don't stay healthy. I don't see them winning the cup though...or even reaching the final.

The Maple Leafs signed free agent defenceman Brad Brown to a one-year contract.

THAT'S IT THE CUP'S COMING HOME

....thinking about it a little more, the Leafs have NO chance of winning the cup.

Hell...I won't be surprised if Ottawa's the one to eliminate us in the playoffs. The Leafs just don't have a fast enough team to get anywhere this season.

not sure why the hell the leafs signed brad brown

i guess Mike Keane turned the Leafs down. They have Coliacovo and Steen, and they're bringning in old scrubs like Marchment and Borwn. Christ.

what one commentator pointed out that seems very true...

with the *supposed* crackdown on obstruction (yes, we've heard this before), *supposedly* the reward will come to the skilled players and fast skaters...yet the Leafs have been bulking up and have very few fast skaters (though that would explain Marchment).

I'm guessing that the Leaf brass is assuming that the crackdown will last for a month, at best, as it the norm in recent years

On defence I don't mind seeing some older players. Most NHL Defencemen don't hit their prime until their early 30s. I will hold off my opinion on the leafs until they have actually played a few games. I don't know why people insist on putting down the leafs when they haven't played a single game. I am betting the leafs get somewhere between 94 and 100 points this year. They will finish second in their division behind ottawa.

Leafs Fall to Sens In Preseason Opener September 18, 2005 TORONTO (CP) _ Brandon Bochenski is being given every chance to make the Senators and the former North Dakota star took advantage of it in his first pre-season game Sunday night, scoring a goal and adding an assist as Ottawa beat Toronto 5-2. Andrej Meszaros, Mike Fisher, Jason Spezza and Daniel Alfredsson also scored for the Sens, who rallied to beat their Ontario rivals in the NHL exhibition opener for both clubs before 18,948 at Air Canada Centre. Nik Antropov and Alexei Ponikarovsky scored first-period goals for the Leafs, who like the Senators found the penalty box rather often as the new crackdown on obstruction was in full force. The two teams combined for 19 power plays, more than double the nine man advantages the NHL averaged in 2003-04. The result was a more open affair Sunday night, with players going to the net without a stick or a glove slowing them down. Allowing the two-line pass also showed early results, Spezza and Bochenski both sent in alone with long-bomb passes but failing to score. Bochenski, 23, was noticeable, looking dangerous on a line with Spezza and Dany Heatley. The line was in on three goals and spent most of the night in Toronto's zone. Bochenski, who had 70 points (34-36) in 75 AHL games last season, appears ready to make the jump. ``He's a natural goal-scorer,'' Sens GM John Muckler said between periods. ``He's scored at every level he's played at. (Head coach) Bryan (Murray) is giving him a real chance to show what he can do.'' The biggest knock on the six-foot, 180-pounder is his skating, but he makes up for that with great positioning and good anticipation. ``He's real smart player, he reads the play well,'' Muckler said. Bochenski tied the game 2-2 at 10:32 of the second period, snapping a wrist shot from the slot over Mikael Tellqvist's right shoulder. Alfredsson then scored the winner at 12:03, blasting a slapshot to the top left corner and popping the water bottle off the top of the net behind J.S. Aubin. Meszaros, a highly touted Slovak prospect on defence, made it 4-2 after he moved in from the point and snapped a wrist shot between Aubin's goal nine minutes into the third period _ play started with Bochenski's forechecking in the Toronto zone. Fisher added an empty-net goal to complete the scoring. The Battle of Ontario was not the battle of no-names as one might have expected for pre-season hockey. Both clubs had most of their regulars in the lineup although 40-year-old goalies Dominik Hasek of the Senators and Ed Belfour of the Leafs got the night off. Ray Emery went all the way in goal for Ottawa and stopped 19 of 21 shots. The Leafs won the penalty shootout after the game after Mats Sundin and Eric Lindros _ who had a quiet game _ scored on Emery while Heatley and Alfredsson were stopped by Aubin. Notes: The Leafs next play Boston in Hamilton on Tuesday while the Senators face Pittsburgh in Binghamton on Friday ... Brian McGratton, who had 551 penalty minutes in the AHL last season, got into a spirited bout with Wade Belak in the first period, with both tough guys connecting major blows.
