The Price is Right: Leafs Edition

The Leafs Rookie game against the Pens was just on last night and they had another one against the Bruins this afternoon. After those cock teases, I'm just bubbling with giddy anticipation. I don't recall ever being so excited for the new season to start. So many fresh faces, so much hope, so much promise!

Now it's been three seasons in a row already that we haven't made the playoffs. While we're heading toward the right direction, I'm not sure if next year will be the year. If we are in for another dreadful season, it doesn't mean we can't have fun with it.

Barilkosphere, come on down!

I figure people love free shit so why not have a contest?
