Every season I like to put the Leafs' TV schedule in an easy to print format in a spreadsheet to put on the wall beside my desk for easy reference (click here to download the .pdf... it's quite good). Nothing too much different this year when compared to last year. 28 games on CBC, 27 on TSN, 15 on Sportsnet, and 12 on LeafsTV. There's no olympic break this year, so it's not as busy at the end, and it ends a couple weeks earlier.
However, something struck me as odd. 7 of the 8 game that Toronto plays against Montreal are on Saturday night... Hockey Night in Canada. Am I the only one who thinks that the CBC is really overdoing the whole "it's a special night because it's the old-time rivals meeting up on Saturday night on HNIC" thing? When it was a handful of games a season, I agree, it was a little bit special. But I think it's just a bit of overkill. Last season, 6 of the 8 games were Saturday. Granted, they play a bunch more games against each other now than they did before the lockout, so maybe that has a hand in it. I don't know, maybe I'm being overly sensitive. Sensitive to what, I don't know.
Anyway, predictions for this season... 11th in the East. That's right, I went there.
I say important things of importance
