Gotta think Buffalo takes a big swing somewhere at this point. To go from first playoff berth in an eternity to losing Tuch, Byram and replacing both with basically only draft picks... they're gonna have a ton of space but they gotta use it. Robertson? Thomas? Bobrovsky? Where we going, Buffalo?

Giving "so much room for activities!"

all I'm saying is I *do* still have my EK65 3D logo jersey in my closet

Stevie, what do you got for us today?

I know it's not the same but I've literally only seen people post ONE goal highlight for Eklund celebrating him joining Ottawa. Every post has been the same goal. It's giving Ben "can drive the middle and score goals" Harpur to the Leafs vibes (I know it's not the same and Eklund is actually good)

Now keep 25 and pick the Ruck twins 25th and 32nd, Steve. I dare you.

Eklund. Yes. Please. Thank you. Steve.

The year is 2040, the NHL has announced a new expansion fee of $100BN, the leading candidates for the 50th NHL franchise are Des Moines and Boise

Alright time to head to work where I have to pretend I'm not thinking about what Chef Steve is cooking up this week the entire day

Keith Tkachuk getting inducted into his second Hall today. Already a member of the Hall of Raising Shitty Kids. Impressive.

None of you warned me that glitter nail polish is harder to get off than regular nail polish

Now we all just hope that Staios brings in a good forward by trading a top 10 pick instead of someone like, I don't know, just picking a name out of thin air here, like DeBrincat or that kind of player

Not unique but my money's on MacTavish being a Senator soon. He's got the Staios/Andlauer junior connection, ANA doesn't have a 1st this year (STL has 3 so Thomas/Kyrou are out). Don't know that bringing another American in in Robertson is what they want right now, but that might be overthinking.

Well, guess I'm actually planning to watch the draft now so gotta start thinking about what Skip The Dishes is going to bring me around 7:30pm on Friday.

If anybody on the TL (do we call it a TL on the BS?) knows anything about the product Visualping and wants to slide into my DMs, please do. I have questions.

Well, I'd HOPE the next few days just got way more interesting

Well, Steve, you got yourself an off-season ahead because if you think you can trade the top line winger and captain for zero roster players... Regardless of how you felt about him, there's a gigantic hole now. Stevie has to have an enormous off-season now.

What?

Confirmed

Everybody say HBD Riley

feels like it might be time for a cold beer i dunno

We're all hoping, of course, that Raddysh's season last year was like Zack Smith's 30 goal year. It happened. It was awesome. But it's never happening again.

My favourite part about pay day is watching it all disappear immediately

My kid told me to stay out of the kitchen so he could make me something for Father's day. Based on what he asked to provide for his craft, I have a suspicion that construction paper confetti will be thrown at me on Sunday morning. I'm feeling really confident in this one. Will update.

Olsen? Ok gifs for next season loading.

On one hand, we don't get to see the Marner Won The Cup Toronto Media Meltdown... on the other hand, we did get to see Vegas (well documented fraudulent franchise) lose so we'll take it.

There was a time in my fan tenure where I would've been absolutely CERTAIN that the Senators would overpay for Darnell Nurse's grit, character and tenacity. I'm so relieved to feel relatively confident he's not even on the radar. (no matter what Brucie reports in his next report)

Translation: we, the media, will not stop making this non story a story until next summer. We have no choice to make things up and continue this. We have no other options. It has to happen. Sorry.

Does this "we're gonna ignore all the bad stuff off the ice/court/field because you're talented" thing happen THIS frequently in other pro sports or is the NHL just a special little snowflake in this regard? Honest Q.

Your top candidate has to be investigated by the league. Oh and he got fired from his last job before the season even started for fucked up stuff. Oh and it's also a media circus about him even though he's not even hired yet. How on earth is that the guy you want to trust with McDavid's roster?

When you become a parent you get to say all sorts of sentences you never got to say before. Things like: This is my SON. My KIDS will be home soon. Walky Talkies aren't for eating. That kinda stuff.

Detroit's lame duck captain requesting a trade, you hate to see it

Listen, I don't want the knights to win. And I stand by that. But... I also want to hear him explain this and see how Leafs Nation reacts. Because it's gonna be cinema.

The 6 year old was never really a toast guy for the longest time. Or a bread guy, really. Always preferred bagels over toast, and wraps over sandwiches. We thought he just didn't like bread. Turns out... He's a bougie bitch. Because now that we've introduced him to sour dough? It's all he asks for 😂

It brings me great sadness to announce that, while the new A&W smash burger is delicious on account of A&W being the indisputable best fast food burger in the game... it is not, in any way, a smash burger. It is two thinner patties stacked on top of each other. Delicious? Yes. Smash burger? No.

Every time I see a Brady Tkachuk trade rumour post, Pagnotta is involved. That guy wants Ottawa to trade Tkachuk so bad 😂

Seeing leafs fans fill their diapers about Marner almost. ALMOST. makes up for the first round sweep, emotionally. It is re-filling my tank.

Quick reminder that it's never a bad time to watch some Whose Line scenes from a hat clips

Playing in a charity golf tourney today for CMHA and there's a guy here, in London, Ontario, Canada, with a MAGA hat on. Didn't think the odds of a fist fight today were anything other than 0% but here we are.

My new putter cover is here and it's beautiful

Been getting a ton of tattoo removal ads and they're like "think you can't afford tattoo removal? Think again!" And then it's still literally thousands upon thousands of dollars. Turns out yes, I do think that. And yes, you are proving that I am, once again, as always, incredibly correct.

Field trip today, asked the 6 year old what he liked about it (they went to a local camp) "I saw skulls and a dead butterfly"

Hearing the Golden Knights have petitioned the league to instead remove Ottawa's second round pick as a result. More to come. (No, I won't stop making this joke)

"catch our Victoria day sale!" Ah yes, just as Queen Victoria would've wanted. 35% off appliances at Leons.

Hearing the Golden Knights have contacted the league to ensure the Senators also lose a pick for this.

League sources indicate the Golden Knights have asked that the Senators forego their 2026 first round pick as a result

What's the downside of PWHL Hamilton? Why is it being questioned? What am I missing?

Loading a dishwasher is a skill only some people possess, I've learned.

The kid picked a book about fire type Pokemon to take home from the school library today. My era is here.
