I fucking hated The Hockey Sweater

I don't mind people taking a second shot at Rogers but HNIC died at the beginning of this rights deal, not the end

@spittinchiclets @BizNasty2point0 NHL players are officially soft, worse than NBA players. At least when NBA players force their way to teams, they go to big markets celtics, lakers, knicks, warriors because they want the pressure

Hockey players are soft

[Kevin Papetti @KPapetti]

Gotta feel sorry for these Knicks players for having to play in such in a big market.

I'm sure Brunson wishes he was playing for a team in a tax-free state with warm weather. Somewhere with less media and where no one would recognize him

damaging their roster. The Carlo trade was the cherry on top

[tom bombadil @_mmca36]

Leafs spent years spending 1st round picks on Nick Foligno under the guise that going all in every year is better than disciplined asset management to give you as many kicks at the can as possible and it left them in a situation where they have nothing to trade without seriously

Why the Maple Leafs should be bidders in the Dylan Larkin sweepstakes — if they can: https://t.co/CxbyN4LxmK

[tom bombadil @_mmca36]

This Canucks team is what the Leafs should have become. But they could never find those 2nd layer guys Kesler, Bieksa, Burrows that drive teams through ultra-competitive series.
Or at least didn't keep them Kadri, Hyman

This day in Vancouver #Canucks history, June 4, 2011:

Alex Burrows scores 0:11 into overtime of Game 2 to give the Canucks a 2-0 lead over the Boston Bruins in the Stanley Cup Final.

Also, it *is* quite obvious that CC identifies players using their jersey number. Which is fine but I just think that, for example, a left handed shot is obviously not Nylander even if his number resembles 88

[tom bombadil @_mmca36]

Cuthbert take: objectively he's a very good pxp. Like you can't listen to him call a game and say he sounds bad or doesn't do a good job. But subjectively he's not my cup of tea. I'm sure they could do a scientific study that proves your mind wants to hear hockey as your 10-year

[tom bombadil @_mmca36]

self did, and for me that was Bob Cole. There was just so much character in Cole's voice. It's just very vanilla now, imo

[tom bombadil @_mmca36]

@LukeKerrDineen literally the thing that took me from a 4-5 to scratch. way easier than trying to diagnose a swing issue to a novice like me

[tom bombadil @_mmca36]

@fried_egg_golf @JosephLaMagna Ball shouldn’t be limited to a particular distance per certain parameters, it should have a minimum spin per certain launch conditions. Guaranteed Young is finding gains via spin management

Also, driver heads should just be limited to mini driver size. Every oem already has one

[tom bombadil @_mmca36]

@ThomasDrance admittedly unlikely, but maybe this one will shoot the puck into the net in the playoffs

[tom bombadil @_mmca36]

It is kind of funny that the Leafs get 1OA and they can add their 17th left winger to the roster

[tom bombadil @_mmca36]

I have what may very well be a hot take. And I say it knowing very well that I’m not a draft guy and I’m probably very wrong. But I really really like Chase Reid. And I would think long and hard about him at 1OA. Reminds me of Doughty

[tom bombadil @_mmca36]

Honest question, I would have thought journalists wouldn't want to be on the starter jacket end of this spectrum? strange

[Greg Wyshynski @wyshynski]

NJ Media to Sunny Mehta: Do you still have that dope Starter jacket from when you grew up as a Devils fan?

TOR Media to John Chayka: Everyone says you're a con man and a liar, thoughts?

Can't imagine why some career decisions are made ...

[tom bombadil @_mmca36]

The roster needs an obvious infusion of speed and talent. Early on in the Dubas era, they all of a sudden became a slow team. Now they're old and slow. It would be very nice if they kept their pick and nabbed an elite puck moving D man this year

[tom bombadil @_mmca36]

Leafs Thoughts:
I think there's a world where Chayka does a good job, but man, this seems like an absolute mess. And in my mind anyway, the mess stems around this part of the process. The fact that Chayka has pissed off the hockey men doesn't bother me at all

[Chris Johnston @reporterchris]

Keith Pelley says Neil Glasberg (@pbisports) was "pivotal and integral" to the #leafs front office search:

"Neil facilitated everything."

[tom bombadil @_mmca36]

to take a hike.
He could be the perfect buffer between hockey ops and higher ups. There's a good chance I'm being wildly optimistic on this
