If I was a Leafs fan I’d be very happy today. If they would have got Werenski I may have shit my pants. What I would do to watch a Leafs/Panthers playoff series next year.
I’m really getting sick of sports wagering. If you enjoy it, have at it, I’m not trying to shit on your fun. I like to lay down a few bones here and there too. But the way it permeates social media and fan behavior at events is just fucking ugly. We’ve gone too far.

French cavalrymen pause to watch an aircraft pass overhead, 1916.
This iconic photograph captures a pivotal moment in military history, symbolizing the transition from the old world to the new. Taken during World War I, between 1916 and 1917, it shows French cavalrymen halted on a dusty road, gazing skyward as an airplane passes overhead.
The scene reflects a dramatic shift on the battlefield. For centuries, cavalry had been the eyes and ears of an army, responsible for reconnaissance, communication, and scouting. Yet the realities of trench warfare, machine guns, and modern artillery were rapidly rendering horse-mounted troops obsolete. Aircraft were beginning to assume many of the cavalry’s traditional roles, from intelligence gathering to artillery observation, marking the emergence of modern mechanized warfare and a new era in military history.
