The Toronto Maple Leafs opened training camp with a pair of games yesterday against the Ottawa Senators.
The Toronto Maple Leafs will enter the upcoming season as the NHL’s top team and favorite to win their first Stanley Cup since 1967.
The Senators are really happy to have at least a shot at making the playoffs this year. Although their chances of doing so are low, they are not zero, and that is an improvement of thousands of percentage points.
The Senators have been a joke for a long, long time, but they finally have a decent team to put on the ice, thanks in large part to the escapes of Tim Stutzle and Josh “Chuck” Norris last year.
Still, they’re not that good, and that’s because a) they don’t have the real superstar needed to compete (but Stutzle could be that guy, maybe) and b) their blueline is horrible. Outside of Tomas Chabot, and possibly Artem Zub, none of the Senators would even make the Marlies, let alone the Leafs.
Anyway, these two teams faced off yesterday afternoon and then later in the evening. I haven’t watched any games because I don’t watch pre-season games, and I never will. If you want it, that’s up to you, but personally, with 82 games and then *(probably)* four more playoff rounds on top of that, I’m good for now.

I saw some highlights from what I think was Game 2, and Calle Jarnkrok almost looked like he had a hat-trick. Good for him. Great debut and all, but the Leafs would be crazy to have him on the second line.
If you’re really interested in the results of these games, TSN offers round-the-clock highlights and there are 482 choices for game recaps if you read them. This is not mine.
I like to follow the pre-season, but for the first game of the season to be the first game I watch. It looks more exciting and special that way.
Guess I just can’t forget that games don’t matter – it just makes them too boring for me. Personally, I find the games the most boring part of pre-season. The stories, tales and commentary from the coaches and general manager are much more exciting this time of year.
The Toronto Maple Leafs won’t play again until Wednesday when they face the Canadiens and then Ottawa again on Friday. The first game that matters is also October 12 against Montreal.
