@coolcanuckNYC @jaredsmithbets It is but a little overstated. The players still pay taxes in the jurisdictions where their games are played. Yes Florida will have their home games and several in Tampa. But players in Toronto, for example, make quite a bit more in local endorsement opportunities.

@Rasterblath @flamillennial @PeteBlackburn Empty arenas would be an anomaly though and not the norm. The NHL’s total attendance is better than the NBA’s over the last 10 years. The only reason its average attendance isn’t better is because the size of the rink where teams play in the same arena as basketball.

@zawisza93 @stoolpresidente After HFK left, thought the hate might stop but it’s now back in full force 🤣

@justcompostit @stoolpresidente You know what Ricky Bobby says…

@montrealMark1 @JeffVeillette I didn’t see any momentum but rather poor goal tending to start for Buffalo. 3 goals on 3 shots is not momentum, that’s a gift from the other team. Buffalo seemed to control everything else and eventually the game.

@joeyferg @reporterchris @TheAthletic This is called click bait and taking things out of context.

@Steve_Dangle Vegas won’t be winning any cup. There’s that wagon up in Denver nobody is getting through.

[Brian Michel @5280bm]

@Seymour_from_GP @Sportsnet @kbieksa3 I would argue they look like the same team that has always had defense and goaltending issues. You can only outscore your liabilities so much. And on top of that, McDavid shows zero interest in back checking.

[Brian Michel @5280bm]

@Derek_chats @JeffVeillette That was Jeff’s point. They struggled to get past one of the weakest teams in last year’s playoffs - hence the Leafs were not that strong.

@Somethi10425640 @BarDown But can she speak in French too? I hear if you don’t, you get forced out.

@icenineleafs @JaXcAt722 Agree here. Tre has been turrible.

Once you get it, nothing better than Hey email from @37signals . It just flows.

@ZephyraByte @Tech_girlll Agree. If just writing code, what’s the issue? Now if you need Pro Tools, Premiere, Final Cut, etc - then I would say go with the Pro models.

@arvidkahl Exactly, what did we all think AI trained on? In fairness, I do notice AI does really well with frameworks with opinionated conventions, ie Rails, Laravel, Django.

[Brian Michel @5280bm]

@jodleboy @dhh Good point here. It’s happening in places in like California too. When governments want to punish people for being successful, those successful people typically pick up and leave.

[Brian Michel @5280bm]

@JeffVeillette Jeff is correct here. Matthews and the Leafs biggest issues are two fold - Berube’s coaching style doesn’t work here as they spend more time in the defensive zone than they ever have in Matthews’ tenure and the team still fails at getting puck movers on the back end.

@MapleLeafs Now where’s all the Leaf “fans” that wanted Papi traded?

[Brian Michel @5280bm]

Hey @Hulu, since you @ESPNPlus have the rights to the NHL, why don’t you make NHL Network available?

[Brian Michel @5280bm]

The @THR has so many pop up ads, you literally cannot ever actually read the content. Way to go.
