Some would altercate that it consistently feels like Halloween about the Toronto Maple Leafs, as they're apparitional by the actuality that they haven't won a Stanley Cup aback 1967, which is the longest such band in the NHL.
["400px"]But nonetheless, the anointed division that gives us acumen to dress up in whatever apparel we feel like while watching the neighbourhood accouchement (and the odd abandoned 30-something) bruise over one addition in attack to account the best candy, is already afresh aloft us.
And for the Maple Leaf players, it's an opportunity to push aside their every day uniform, and aurora article more, um, unique. The dejected and white jersey that brings abundant abhorrence through the NHL's 82-game agenda charge not administer on this night, as anniversary amateur will accept the adventitious to appearance their adroitness (or abridgement thereof) in what should be an absorbing eve for the club.
But aback my admission to the Leaf players and their claimed activity is, err, non existent, we'll accept to achieve for artlessly what I accept assertive Leafs should abrasion on this sacred, chilling night at the team's anniversary Halloween Party.
Mikhail Grabovski
He's a new man this season, and it's apparent appropriately far in the adolescent NHL season. He cut his continued locks off, he promised to be added committed to adamantine assignment and he put abaft him the many, abounding problems he's had on and off the ice in the aftermost few years.
Or so we're advance to believe.
So I, for one, anticipate in adjustment to prove he's absolutely become a bigger man, the one they alarm "Grabo" has only one advantage that would get a beam or two from his teammates, and needs to cull a Back to the Future act.
He'd bandy aback to the old canicule (last year) and appear in cutting a accomplished wig, of advance dressed as "last year's Grabovski"; aforementioned temper, aforementioned attitude. Again watch as the aberration ensued as he starts a action with the bartender, Francois Beauchemin (again), Ron Wilson (he'll bandy a few punches in for Tomas Kaberle too), and Jason Blake... via argument message.
They'd again bandy him out of the party, and he'd leave bouncing his easily to the army sarcastically while they mocked him. He'd apparently get abeyant for a bold or two (actions adverse to the team, and party), but as far as memories go, this one would aftermost the aggregation a lifetime.
Luke Schenn
Should appear dressed as Dion Phaneuf, about 2007-08 (when Phaneuf denticulate 17 goals, 60 points), decked out in his Calgary Flames gear. It's not that Schenn is a abrupt abhorrent threat, but he's attractive a lot like the authorization shut bottomward apostle they anticipation they had aback they drafted.
And article tells me Schenn wouldn't apperception bringing the absolute activity adherent either.

Dion Phaneuf
Should appear dressed as Luke Schenn, about aftermost season, aback Schenn had a abominable alpha to his year, aloof like Phaneuf this season
Somewhere, Mats Sundin is afraid his head.
Phil Kessel
Strutting in slowly, spurs clanking on the ground, Phil Kessel should appear to the affair dressed in abounding cowboy attire, as the Lone Ranger. It's nights like Tuesday in Boston, area it seems Kessel is the alone amateur on the aggregation who's accomplishing anything.
And aback injuries and disturbing teammates leave Kessel with little as far as advice goes, it turns into a no goal, black performance. "Just booty out the Lone Ranger, and let the others abort on their own."
I accept that was a absolute adduce from Bruins' coach, Claude Julien, during the aboriginal intermission.
Nazem Kadri
Yes, the admiration kid will get an allure to the party, admitting he'll accept to appear the pre-party advanced aloof to accomplish abiding he can handle a night out with the big boys.
He'll appear in with all eyes on him, underperform spectacularly, get amaranthine media analysis for two weeks and get beatific aback bottomward to the Marlies afore the absolute affair begins. No apparel needed.
But he'll adulation it bottomward there, I apprehend they accept abstinent Shirley Temples.

Francois Beauchemin
There is alone one apparel that Francois Beauchemin could possibly be this Halloween: a baker.
Serving up beginning turnovers every night.
Colton Orr
The Maple Leafs official on-ice anatomy guard, Colton Orr, can appear dressed as Miley Cyrus. Or Hannah Montana. Or a ballerina for all he cares.
Do you absolutely anticipate anyone's activity to laugh at him?
John Mitchell
An onion. The bad aftertaste we can't get out of our mouth.
Kris Versteeg
Throw on a brace of giant pants, stick an acutely ample alternation about his neck, angle that hat alongside (30 degrees) and appear to the bru-ha-ha as Vanilla Ice.
["400px"]
Not that he needs an alibi to get in advanced of a microphone.
Tomas Kaberle
No agnosticism about it, Kaberle is advancing dressed as William Shakespeare.
All he does is accomplish plays (while hitting absolutely nothing, which I'm artlessly bold wasn't a big allotment of Shakespeare's bold either).
Jonas 'The Monster' Gustavsson
Duh.
Jeff Finger
Just kidding, he's acutely not invited.
Hapy Halloween everyone.
