It is Tuesday, so back on with my "Business of Sport" segment with @billcarrolltalk on @CFRAOttawa Talking about the impact of the World Cup for the host nations. Could this lead to another big international event in Canada down the road?

Sens. Playoffs. Let’s go!!

[Anthony LeBlanc @AnthonyDLeBlanc]

Playoffs? Playoffs?! YES!! Congrats to the entire @Senators organization and in particular my friend @cyleeder As a super fan of the club since their return to the NHL (and official #1 fan between 2020 - 2023) I could not be happier. Playoff hockey is back in Ottawa. Go Sens Go!

[Anthony LeBlanc @AnthonyDLeBlanc]

During my tenure within the NHL I have known some incredible people. DJ Smith is one of the finest. A great coach and a prince of a man. Ran into him at YOW last week while I was en route to PHX. Always a smile and a big laugh. I look forward to seeing his next steps.

[Anthony LeBlanc @AnthonyDLeBlanc]

Very saddened to hear of the sudden passing of Smoke’s Poutinerie founder Ryan Smolkin. Worked with him first while with the Coyotes, then again in Ottawa. Always a smile on his face. Always laughter. You will be greatly missed. RIP my friend.

[Anthony LeBlanc @AnthonyDLeBlanc]

So happy to see @cyleeder back where he belongs as CEO of the Sens. A great person who will do great things with the team. Good luck Cy, bring us a cup (and maybe a new arena)!

[Anthony LeBlanc @AnthonyDLeBlanc]

Good luck to @OSEGMarkGoudie and everyone at the @REDBLACKS as they get ready to kick off their 2023 CFL season tonight. The @Senators will be cheering along our crosstown friends. Remember, there is nothing better than an Ottawa team beating a Montreal team!

It was unbelievably moving to attend Sgt. Eric Mueller’s funeral at CTC today. I never had the privilege to meet him, but what I heard today was he was a special man. I cannot thank the police community enough for their service and bravery. True heroes.

[Nancy Chychrun @7mammachych_98]

What a special moment for our boy & our family, a dream come true ❤️🇨🇦 thank you, Ottawa, for such a beautiful & warm welcome! @j_chychrun7 @JeffChychrun @tchychx

[Anthony LeBlanc @AnthonyDLeBlanc]

Wow. Derick Brassard. Congrats on game 1000. 2 goals. Big win. Don’t Stop Believin’. Let’s go.

[Anthony LeBlanc @AnthonyDLeBlanc]

@AlsoknownasLynn @Senators Thanks babe 😘 Another big day for our team!

[Anthony LeBlanc @AnthonyDLeBlanc]

Was thrilled to have been a part of the management team that drafted Jakob Chychrun back in 2016 in AZ. And while I had NOTHING at all to do with todays trade, so happy to see him join the @Senators . Great job Pierre. Huge move. Can’t wait to have you join us Jakob. Let’s go!

[Anthony LeBlanc @AnthonyDLeBlanc]

5-0 shut out win. 3 in a row. Sold out barn. Back to .500. Nothing to cheer about from the Habs fans (but thanks for coming!) Pretty good Saturday night. #GoSensGo

[Anthony LeBlanc @AnthonyDLeBlanc]

Another jam packed sold out crowd tonight. 2 of the last 3 have been sold out. Come early to @CdnTireCtr as it will be a very busy and rocking Saturday night. Doors open at 5pm #GoSensGo

[Anthony LeBlanc @AnthonyDLeBlanc]

Couldn’t have said it better myself Mr. Mayor!

[Mark Sutcliffe @_MarkSutcliffe]

Any week that ends like this is a good week.

[Anthony LeBlanc @AnthonyDLeBlanc]

As I do every #BellLetsTalk day, I think of my friend and business partner, George Gosbee. Goz changed so many lives when we bought the Coyotes. Hard to believe it has been over 5 yrs that he has been gone. Always look for the signs, still cannot believe we didn't see them.
