Once again, ice has fucked over normal Americans.

I think the Leafs best course of action is to fire Berube and see what a new coach can get out of these guys the remainder of the year playing an actual modern hockey system. Don’t add. Trade some pending free agents to recover some picks.

This is also what I immediately thought of bsky.app/profile/jame...

The end of this version of the Leafs should be the exact same as the end of the Nonis era where it’s very clear they’re all so fucking incompetent that none of them work in the NHL again. I bet the NHL gave Shanahan a do-shit-all role just so he wouldn’t start talking about his DoPS days

Megamind is looking ROUGH these days

Other than “MLSE is being cheap as fuck not wanting to pay for it”, what is the operating reason to not fire Tre and Berube this week and give somebody new the Olympic break to figure out the path forward?

Every action invites the question why the USA (and Israel for that matter) invites the question why they haven’t been barred from international competition the same way Russia has. I feel like that’s more likely to result in Russia’s sanctions being rescinded because it’s all run by cowards

“You didn’t give me what I want when I was a good boy (citation needed) so now I’m going to take what I want by being a bad boy” is toddler level reasoning. Congratulations America. You gave a kindergartener control of a nuclear arsenal.

IANAL but elected officials blatantly lying to cover up illegal activity is not perjury, why exactly?

Brantford ran Wayne Gretzky out of town because everyone got too sick of him being the best kid around. Hockey is Tall Poppy Syndrome organized into a sporting event.

Credit where due, Domi turned Morrissey into a beer leaguer there.

Everybody likes to say that this version of the Leafs was dead in the water after they lost to MTL in 2021 but it was 100% when the organization that committed to doing everything based on analytical decision-making allowed Shanahan to fire Dubas bc of vibes and just hired the most available guy

This is what happens when you define everything about what happens in the playoffs. Four of the Maple Leafs best six seasons by points percentage happened in the last five years.

Berube should pull a Reverse Ron Wilson and announce via social media on Christmas Day that he got fired. “I’m getting a ton of money to not have to deal with these a-holes anymore!”

Over the last ten years, from tearing down to building up to now falling apart, the Maple Leafs have had exactly two years where they decided to just be normal. 2015-16, when they were just a normal bad team tanking for a top pick And 2017-18, when they were just a normal team on the rise

“I just have concerns about fairness in sport”… okay and so let’s close every sport academy, ban travel sports below the age of 13, and ban paid coaches for youth sports if we’re all so concerned about “fairness”

Ah wah I was such a good little boy sitting through that rebuild and all I got was this guy who’s the best offensive player in my sad sack team’s 100 year history.

ALERT: The Goldeneye 64 pause song is the official end-of-period music at @pwhlgoldeneyes.bsky.social games

Every asshole that gets a coaching gig and they’ve got nothing beyond “we’re gonna be hard to play against” and then you look at their history and their success is inevitably a combination of; - inherited a good defence - goalie decided to stop 93% of shots - refs stopped calling penalties

You better use this as in-arena music somehow youtu.be/qoWCB8AUiP4

Don’t sign bottom six specialists to long term contracts.

Am I wrong in feeling the Jays didn’t really blow that, so much as the Dodgers just refused to be put away?

aaaaaaaaaaaa

This game is literally going to go back in time

Playoff hockey OT has the “snort cocaine riding a motorcycle out of a helicopter” quote, but playoff baseball extra innings is like playing Russian Roulette every fifteen seconds

Forget the Kendrick vs Drake angle, this is the first time a Toronto and LA team have met in the playoffs since 1993. Somebody get Vladdy a Gilmour jersey.

Not much of a baseball guy but coming in to strike out the side to clinch the series is an absolute badass thing to do.

Domi got walked by Wright twice within about ten seconds

Bobby McMann not being broken anymore is extremely helpful for depth.

The Mikkola thing is legitimately the most embarrassing thing to happen from an officiating perspective in a long time.

“We waived the all-defence guy in his 30s we gave a 4 year $10MM contract, so that when he’s healthy our 4C can be this other guy in his 30s that we gave up a 1st rounder and one of our only five prospects” The Leafs are so back.

Doug Ford managed the pandemic by only listening to the narcissist crybabies that complained the most so of course he’d manage literally everything else (return to office, public safety) the same way
