This has BIG impact in 🇨🇦. Many people subscribe to Crave for HBO content. That content will now be on Netflix. Leaving Crave with???? This is the sports content domino. Bell eyeing NHL games through Amazon for Crave & maybe RDS takes over french NHL rights too...

Caught a little of the @MapleLeafs hour on @RealKyper show and Nick opined that no real no changes to Leafs for the season. I'd say that presser suggests he is right.

"Too vanilla" Brad Treliving on the @MapleLeafs character thus far. I'd say the same to his performance in his presser. If you are going to speak, say something

🤔

So breakfasttv found its way on my tv this am, I cannot believe people actually watch this. I thought SCTV was back!

At 3:59, we’re like caged animals dying to get on.” @HayesTSN on @odognine2 & @jamiemclennan29 before their daily @OverDrive1050 show which made some changes this week: t.co/VKPICm2s7q

There is a lot of noise these days that Masai is going to be sticking around Toronto for a bit with a major role with the Toronto Tempo. Not forever but....

All ears on NBA board meeting today in Las Vegas. Will Seattle & Las Vegas learn the expansion plans of the league? Or, will owners not want to share the newly minted national TV revenue??

If the goal is to grow the game, why do we still get the same stale intermission segments? Tell real stories. Talk about the coaches, players, their families.

🏒 Leafs' Crossroads: Tavares, Marner Decisions! Who's Behind the Desk? The Toronto Maple Leafs are facing down "monster critical questions" concerning the future of players like Tavares and Marner.

🚨 What really happened at the MLSE board meeting that led to Brendan Shanahan’s exit? @JShannonhl Shannon joins me on In the Press Row to break down what went down behind closed doors—and why “non-renewal” is just a polite way to say “fired.” 🧵

Why Keith Pelley's comments about the Leafs needing to improve relations with the media & fans is important. With @JShannonhl #inthepressrow youtube.com/watch?v=2Xs1sh…

Thank you so much! That means a lot

the NHL average coaching tenure was down to 2.51 years across 32 teams *before* Cronin, Laviolette, and now Bylsma were fired. Now it's down to 2.38, which is even further below the other three major professional men's leagues.

As requested, the average tenure for NHL general managers is 4.74 years. The Ron Francis news brings that to 4.56 years. Quite a bit of turnover in recent seasons, and in a lot of instances the former GM was not dismissed but moved up to president (that was the case for COL, WSH, VGK etc).

So instead of showing the Capitals/CBJ game, Sportsnet is showing the Lightning vs Sabres game. 13 more years of this.

No, replacing @CoachsCornerDC will not fix @hockeynight ! yyzsportsmedia.com/finding-the-...

Proof is in the Amazon NHL Canada tv deal : www.nytimes.com/athletic/623... Inside Amazon’s first year streaming the NHL and whether their Rogers deal will continue

One of the weirdest weather days I remember in Toronto … calm and mild at 12:24am

I read that to mean the existing talent improved over time 🤷🏼‍♂️🤔

Via @brucearthur.bsky.social : Via @bruce_arthur . I do not know ANYONE outside of someone with obvious bias who would say this- not one!

Bell made what I am told was a token offer

So, Rogers hasnt sublicensed any NHL games under the new deal yet, hoping value increases over time. Meanwhile TSN continues to devalue. The media, especially sports media, business in 🇨🇦 has never been in worse shape & it's deteriorating at a rapid pace.

Sources tell me big changes afoot at Anthem Sports as Carlos Silva starts to make his impression..

Before I head out for a few hrs, many & I mean MANY of 🫵 were DMming me about RM essentially selling @BlueJays tickets during last night @MapleLeafs @Senators @hockeynight telecast. NO! I don't believe we've ever 👀 baseball being overly promoted like that ever before #telling

From the same column.. GOLD #bluejays

From todays's @simmonssteve post.. maybe if he showed up in the playoffs or didn't make the same idiotic post series losing comments he woudldnt be the pinata :

What blew my mind were the media members imploring them to make moves like they did when clearly 34 is not right & this isn't their year yet again..

How many stores and how many employees about to lose their jobs at The Bay?? 🤔🤔🤔🤔 @hudsonsbay.bsky.social well played ya'll

Leafs Sens in a game that kind of matters... Memories

This is really sad. The Sports Reporters was part of the fabric of being a sports fan and John Feinstein was an integral part of that show. He uniquely told stories using sports as the backdrop unlike many others. He will be missed.

It seems that @arashmadani.bsky.social days at Sportsnet have come to an end, join me in wishing him well for years of great coverage! Adios Arash! May you land somewhere meaningful… the more things change the more they change

The Marner stories this morning , just wow. There really is one person and only one person to blame for where this sits & he's the guy running the Penguins

Hello, Toronto

You watching a total of 12 mins or more of NHL trade deadline day today? If so what outlet?

Meanwhile, how psyched are Shatkins (that is totally a thing again) that the Vladdy contract demand leaked the night before NHL trade deadline day? The two geniuses couldn't have planned it any better..

While outside my normal realm of media coverage my bird dogs tell me a once major 🇨🇦 player in the media game is on the verge of being acquired that could have landscape implications.. stay tuned. Not presently sports related. Tomorrow? 🤷‍♂️

👀

Not sure if you care about the politics - that's up to you, but @profgalloway.com on the Canada USA hockey game is unexpectedly delicious & worth a listen : youtu.be/RHyYN2-_kK0?...

When the internet audience is identical to tv audience ...

imagine, trade deadline day, or free agent day, and "the panel" is full of panelists with nothing but honest, hard hitting opinions, as opposed to folks staring at cell phones "reporting" deals seconds before ... They happen. 🤔 I know. Content we'd watch....

Wow.. Microsoft is shutting down Skype, the internet calling service it bought almost 14 years ago for $8.5 billion.
