@JeffVeillette Thank you. I feel seen.

@JeffVeillette My favourites, based on how the pod is listed in most databases are messages like the above to my email that start with “Hi Tall” or “Dear Mr Can Audio”

Like k you’re not even trying here…

Mentioned this on our Monday show. The Leafs have had a lot of good things go their way so far. Including a huge step forward for Easton Cowan on top of the below.

And yet… they’re already in huge trouble anyway.

[Michael Amato @amato_mike]

Just about every positive from this #Leafs season has been cancelled out by a negative.

Matthews is back - Nylander has fallen off
Rielly bounces back - McCabe is regressing
Stolarz regains his form - Bobrovsky is letting 3 in every night
Roslovic looks like a top line player - Tavares may no longer belong in the top. 6
Special teams are great - 5 on 5 not good

The fact that a lot has actually gone right for the Leafs and they are still in the position they are in should be very concerning to John Chayka.

Waking up in the hospital and going right for the ‘gram. Hysterical.

@ArmsRacePro Oh I know. I immediately blew through it again. Holds up surprisingly well.

[Matt Robinson from Tall Can Audio @TallCanAudio]

@JoshuaHowsam @AndrewStoeten Man well said bro.

[Matt Robinson from Tall Can Audio @TallCanAudio]

Willy you absolutely killing me bro.

[Andre Leal @leal_andre19]

Going into this game against the Avalanche, #Leafs' William Nylander has been on the ice for 18 goals against (T-2nd most among forwards)

He's been on the ice for another two tonight, which would match Nick Schmaltz, who leads forwards in that category.

[Matt Robinson from Tall Can Audio @TallCanAudio]

@DownGoesBrown The only goalies worth discussing this evening.

[Matt Robinson from Tall Can Audio @TallCanAudio]

Good change. Team caused me a ton of mental anguish all summer and it sounds like that was his department.

[Matt Robinson from Tall Can Audio @TallCanAudio]

Like they are truly boned on this one.

A big salary for a long time on a guy who will only get worse and has a full NMC and with a backup who can’t handle taking over starter minutes.

It doesn’t get much worse than that. #Leafs

[dom 📈 @domluszczyszyn]

crazy how predictable it was that signing bob was a horrible idea

[Matt Robinson from Tall Can Audio @TallCanAudio]

Good change. Team caused me a ton of mental anguish all summer and it sounds like that was his department.

[Ben Nicholson-Smith @bnicholsonsmith]

Blue Jays are bringing almost all of their coaching staff back per GM Ross Atkins

The exception is mental skills coach John Lannan

Rick Tocchet’s path of destruction ruining young rosters continues. He must be stopped!

[NHL Rosters @NHL_Rosters]

Matvei Michkov is looking for a fresh start with a new team, per @KevinWeekes. He has 10 goals in 20 games this year. #LetsGoFlyers

[Matt Robinson from Tall Can Audio @TallCanAudio]

That’s what I’m left with also. Good tough but fair questions were asked and I felt he answered more thoughtfully/openly than a typical athlete presser.
Thing is everyone has already taken their sides and were unlikely to be swayed so nobody’s mind was changed. Just is what it is

[Tank Commander “Nik” 🎷🪖 @NikLynam]

Credit where it’s due:

Hats off to the local media in that big presser

And credit to Hellebuyck for how he handled that

Lots to chew on

Remembrance Day hours: We’ll be opening at 11:05am on Remembrance Day and showing the National Remembrance Day Ceremony on the main TV. $5 pints all day for current and former members of the Canadian Armed Forces.

I like the Clutch a lot with Detroit’s automotive history and Havoc is kind of fun. But I think I’m out on the other two.

[Hailey Salvian @hailey_salvian]

The PWHL has officially unveiled the names and logos for its four new expansion teams:

Detroit Clutch, Hamilton Havoc, San Jose Sea Lions and Vegas Vanguards.

If we can take away one lesson from the Hellebuyck vs WPG shenanigans:

Casual fans are NOT ready for semi-advanced analytics

[Matt Robinson from Tall Can Audio @TallCanAudio]

Because they are “in the entertainment business” and have somehow conflated that with the idea that an NHL GM and head coach are also “in the entertainment business” when in fact those people are in the winning business with different priorities than making good tv.

[former club hockey all-star @nattyanthemMVP]

Why the fuck is every NHL media person bugging the fuck out that Hellebuyck isn’t playing in WPG?

This may be the Jets Super Bowl, but it is just another game for NJD, and there is no obligation to play him, especially considering tougher opponents coming up

[Matty Tankclogger @MDrainclogger]

When you work on the 2nd floor in downtown Winnipeg but you see Connor Hellebuyck walking by
