Nice victory today. Can they keep it going? It’s imperative that they win Game 2, putting the Yankees in a position to win out to win the series. They should have saved some of those runs for tomorrow. Hopefully, the pitching stays strong. The Yankees are error prone, so lets see if that rears it’s ugly head going forward. I think the winner of this series goes to the World Series.
Less than a week until the regular season. Hockey Hot Stove, home of the Leafs Nation. Ek’s latest version of the Buzz is a dud.
Fuck Apple TV and MLB for screwing the rank and file fans of the Jays. Nobody wants to pay for a subscription to see one game that meant so much in the standings. MLB should have cut Apple TV from games in September. The fans pay for the Sportsnet service and expect to have games down the stretch available to them. I know that they would never see this post, but let it be a lesson to the NHL to not take advantage of the Canadian Hockey fans going down the stretch. I have Prime because I have an Amazon account, but I certainly don’t want to see games over there, especially down the stretch. It’s enough that we have to subscribe to Hockey Night in Canada, TSN and Sportsnet to see the Leafs play during the regular season. The fragmentation of regional sports channels is getting out of hand. See the Buffalo Bills who’ll play on 6 or 7 networks for a 17 Game schedule. Ludicrous!
I think, that Stolarz could be overplaying his hand. He had a good year, last year, but what about all of the years of being a backup goaltender, with a spotty record of having stretches on the injured reserve? He isn’t young, by any means. Maybe the Leafs should take his hot season and peddle him off to Edmonton, or another Western Conference team and take back some draft capital that the sorely need. Jack Campbell had a good year with the Leafs then disappeared. Getting assets is a much smarter way of rebuilding your prospect pool. There will be many backup NHL caliber types available, when teams submit their final roster. Woll is solid and the Leafs team is general is also solid. Maybe not as flashy, but good enough to be a top 3 team in the Atlantic. Time to focus and get a return for a change.
Was nice to see the Leafs B squad beat the Sens A squad. I’m sure the reverse will happen in Toronto and every Sens troll will be yapping about it like they won the cup. Lol
Oh I’ll happily say it was nice to see but it was also due to to some damn lucky moments lol
Win that way, lose that way, and watch the trolls explode.
It’s just AHL caliber hockey. It means nothing, but a way to make extra money for the teams. It’s gotten to the point that preseason is just boring to watch and the regular season, with the exception of a few divisional tilts are also meh. Playoffs is where it’s at.
Ken Dryden has died.
R.I.P.
Always sad to see someone go the way he did, at least he was at home.
R.I.P. Ken Dryden
Ken Dryden had the stones to at least deal with the Maple Leaf Gardens sex scandal case. He made sure that the perverts coercing the teenagers with free hockey tickets, then sexually assaulting them, came to light. For that, he has my utmost respect.
this whole post if quite something to read, I dont know how anyone can believe that donkey will do anything good for 99% of the people. tariffs just another way to rob people and shift all the money to the rich pockets.
The proof is in the pudding. Under Biden, my portfolio only grew 3% and was eaten up by inflation. Under Trump, I’m up over 10% in the first 8 months of the Trump Administration. During his first administration, I saw returns over 10% for most of his 4 years. There was low inflation and the Biden years ate most of that up, due to inflation, hence the need to work 3 more years to try and get it back, after adjustment for inflation.
On the Trump plan to restart the economy, it’s necessary to impose tariffs to balance the trade imbalance. The U.S. has been running trade deficits for decades and it needs to stop. When you hit $37T in debt, run up from administrations going back in the late ’60’s, something needs to be done. In Canada, we have tariffs inside our own borders between provinces. You can’t even legally go into Quebec to buy alcohol without breaking the law. Our supply side management, in other words quotas, has made it expensive to buy food and commodities. There needs to be a scrapping of the quota system, to bring prices down. Canada needs to address their debt, before shelling out more money to Ukraine, or other nations that launder money for war and corruption.
This whole mess would be easier to navigate without family concerns. I have to go to the US on Thursday as my dad is not doing well
Yeah, going to retire soon. Tried twice before. The inflation nonsense pushed me back into the workforce. Just waiting on the Trump Economy to boost the investments before finally giving it up. I’ll talk to my investment agent and see if it’s smart to turn my Canadian Dollars into U.S. Dollars. Just waiting for the great U.S. devaluation that is part of the Trump economic plan. Use tariffs to bring outside industries back to America, then devalue the currency and make the U.S. products cheaper to export. It’ll take about a 1% interest rate drop to make it happen. The U.S. is fighting to stay the World’s Fiat currency, against the BRICS Nations. The only way he can do it, is make it cheaper for their products and commodities to be sold to other Nations. Canada is finished. The West will be gone in a couple of years and the rest of the provinces will follow.
I pray that you find your father well.
I’ll have to check him out, since I’ve moved to Kingston, from Belleville. Being an old Belleville Bulls fan, that’s hard to swallow. The B Sens never captured my interest and only attended sparingly.
Just came back from the States, near Cornwall. Pretty much devoid of Canadians going stateside. I’ve been across a couple of other Canadian/U.S. border crossings recently, and the same thing. It’s a great time to go stateside. Hotels are cheap, because there’s no Canadian’s staying and restaurants are not busy. Some decent deals to be had and I don’t have to look at the Elbows Up clowns that seem to be everywhere in Woke City Canada, Kingston. I’m just glad that Hockey is soon becoming relevant once again. Blue Jays are trending into collapse mode with the Jordan Romano disease being spread around in the bullpen. Let’s go Bills!
Not interested in going to a garbage 2nd world country with many restricted freedoms.
I also see you are one those who continue to misuse “woke”.Ya the Jays seem to be falling apart…..its a Toronto sports thing.[/quote]
I may not move, but my investments are going elsewhere. You can’t make decent money on Canadian investments. The low return gets eaten up by inflation and a devalued currency. I’ve contemplated moving, but I have a disable child in a group home, in Canada, and aging in-laws that my wife would have an issue leaving them to fend for themselves.
If he has a decent year, maybe that allows the Leafs to move Stolarz for a Kings ransom and restock the draft cupboard.
He could have accepted a trade out of Toronto, anytime during the last two seasons. He wanted to hold the team up for ransom. He isn’t worth anything near Matthews. What awards has Marner won, compared to Matthews? Matthews had multiple 100 point seasons, plus multiple Rockets, and a Hart Trophy. Marner…..nothing! He’s just a teeny, tiny mercenary that’s not worth more than $10M per season. Good riddance to the soap opera and it’s time to seal this thing up and win the East and play for a Cup.
Nope, just Carney’s daily routine.
