@BallsyUncut If I have to choose between gas/food/hotels for my 3 kids Hockey/Baseball/Softball/Dance schedules, the Riders take a backseat. I imagine it is this way for many people in my age bracket.
@BallsyUncut Gas prices, hotel prices, food prices - money is tight. I pay enough money for cable and internet and can sit on my couch and watch the Riders from home, while saving money for the many other things that cost way too much these days.
@MiltStegallTSN@CFL Agreed. The rule changes have nothing to do with attendance in 2026. The ticket, gas, food, hotel prices have way more to do with attendance. And, it's just so easy to sit on your couch and watch the game on HDTV.
@BallsyUncut Weโre not going to do this again all year are we? Everything is too expensive. Tickets, gas, food, etc. Itโs just easier to sit on your couch, crack a beer and watch on HDTV.
The voices of my childhood were Cole, Wittman, Hughson, Miller, Emerick and Cuthbert. Congrats to the best NHL (& CFL) play by play guy there is on the Foster Hewitt Award. @CCpxpSN
@NHL coaches get fired all the time. Why does Gary Bettman not have to answer for this absolutely terrible playoff format and uninteresting playoff run? @StanleyCup
@ProducerDrew_ Have we not learned anything?? I didnโt think Vegas had a chance to beat Colorado and they swept them. This is the NHL - anything can happen.
@CleanSheetofIce Iโm at the point where Iโd like to see a change in leadership in Dallas. I just think this team has gotten far but not far enough, and they need a new leader to do so. ๐คทโโ๏ธ
@PuckReportNHL Call me crazy, but I honestly think people would turn this job down because of people like Simmons. And Simmons is therefore a huge reason the Leafs will never win anything.
@NHL_Muse I don't care if it's true. This is not a reporter asking "hard questions" or "having the guts to ask hard questions", its a jerk of a human being awful. This media crap is why the Leafs will never win.
@treydaubert For two pillars of this franchise over the past decade+, the best thing that Jamie Benn and Tyler Seguin can do is retire and go on permanent LTIR. This is a cruel business, but it is just business.
@DouglasEvan@samnestler They have absolutely not missed their window. This core is good. Great even. Injuries, luck of the draw, etc may have worked against them this year, but this league is hard to win in, and this team will continue to be competitive. Small tweaks will happen, and theyโll keep going
