@JoshMatlow Best if ALL City owned tennis courts open to public at all times not only mere hours late weekend evenings instead of private club operating on City property paid by taxpayers. Oriole has no private club but in my area private club at City park with 10 year waiting list #TOpoli
Accuracy matters. Luke Fox wrote #Nylander said “F-----' shoot it. Stop f-----' cryin', bro. This is the f-----' issue. You guys f-----' b---- about s---. Let's f-----' go!" Was in Prime Faceoff. No mention of junior hockey/grow up bro. 88 tired of their fighting #LeafsForever
"That is a direct shot at the 'grow up bro, this isn't junior hockey comment from William Nylander.' You know exactly what he's talking about here." 😳

Question on if John Chayka knows the players in NHL is questioning Keith Pelley’s decision to hire him, thus he responds first, defending his hiring decision. Question implies if Chayka didn’t know players then Pelley must be incompetent to have hired him. #Leafs#LeafsForever
Generally person who does hiring, picks best person for job & Keith Pelley picked John Chayka based on “due diligence” process. #Leafs looking for analytics guru & hired Chayka who’s bright & his mistakes are valuable experience. Judge results, give them a chance. #LeafsForever
Keith Pelley answered question by saying I must have talked to different people. What proof did Simmons show that what he was told is true? Smearing someone just hired upon meeting them during initial press conference doesn’t merit respect nor good journalism #LeafsForever#Leafs
Love him or hate him, you gotta respect Steve Simmons for having the balls to ask the controversial, tough questions when needed.
Pelley’s non-answer was notable, btw.
Questions for Steve Simmons of Toronto Sun: Who did he speak to? Why did he believe what he was told? Why should we believe him? Chayka says needs to prove himself, thus give him a chance. Simmons succeeded in getting the Sun trending, he becomes the story. #Leafs#LeafsForever
Wow.
Steve Simmons says he spoke to 20 people around the league. 1 supported the Chayka hiring, 19 said it was a "sham" and called Chayka a "con artist," "liar," "salesman"
Nobody around the league respects Chayka. Wow. 😬
Edward Rogers “In sports, when you have bad season, there’s a lot of pressure. Someone has to be cut. We’ve got to change something. But if you switch gears every year or two & collapse to external pressure, it won’t work.” Rogers @ Western Sports Leaders event @LeafsForever 1/2
Joe Bowen on #Leafs intense media coverage: “It is so much easier to criticize to gain the attention they seek than to be fair on many occasions making the Leaf market one of the most difficult to perform in” This #Nylander post is example/Full Bowen comments below #LeafsForever
"Grow up… That was embarrassing yesterday.”

@MapleLeafs The team’s leader in points is just as precise in this media scrum as when he shoots and finds the back of the net. Nylander is to the point. Media also had lots of access to him before this media scrum and they already milked his retool/rebuild interview. #LeafsForever
The longer the media scrum lasted, the more content the media would have to potentially distort for clicks to maximize ad revenue. #Nylander was to the point. Media already had ample access to him before today. #Leafsforever
@MapleLeafs@LGCanada A challenging season comes to an end after 9 years of making it into the playoffs. Looking ahead to September with a healthy Leafs roster. The best is yet to come! 💙🤍
