Since everyone is really down right now Im going to buy low again. Easton Cowan is this generations Nazem Kadri

Announcing a Leafs trade and "We're killing Hockey Night In Canada" at the exact same time is either an incredible coincidence or Rogers pulling off the single wildest news dump attempt in the history of hockey

Good time to re up this i think. Goalies ALWAYS go for less than you think they will

Yesterday, I was in London visiting local Liberals. I wish I could say I enjoyed the day, but I didn’t. Not at all. I’m going to say it bluntly. The situation in downtown London is a total catastrophe. I live downtown east in Toronto. My family is in Hamilton. I’ve travelled to a lot of cities in the province. The plight of Ontarian’s suffering from severe addictions and homelessness has become a huge problem everywhere. Two years ago, when I last visited London, I thought it was getting rough. Just like so many of our urban centers under the Ford era’s provincial decline. But downtown London now? DYSTOPIA. I feel completely disgusted by what we’ve allowed to happen. It is totally immoral. It should be treated as a provincial and national emergency. And by the way, downtown London is otherwise GORGEOUS. Even if half the storefronts are closed. One of the regional MPPs, @RobFlackEML, is Minister of Housing and Municipal affairs. How can you let this happen to your city? How can we turn such a blind eye to the suffering? How do you tolerate the billions of dollars your government spends on scandalous priorities as this gets ignored? How can London possibly attract better jobs, people, and employers when its downtown is like this? - - - It also made me realize that my plans on this file are not enough. Money for supportive and transitional housing, secure rehab and mental health facilities, ODSP benefits, etc may be sufficient to stop more people from ending up on the street. But there are an estimated 2,300 people homeless in London. Many need shelter, treatment, medium-to-long term care. The new HART Hub has 60 beds. It’s inadequate by an order of magnitude. I met with a local shelter providing detox and transitional housing services (who is being shut down later this year, no less). Even when they form people (involuntary entry into hospital/ward to prevent violence or self harm), they are usually out in 24hrs. It’s not the hospitals fault… they don’t have the space. There is no space for people who voluntarily want rehab. Or those who don’t want it voluntarily. Police move people around blocks. There is nowhere for them to go. I left feeling sick and daunted. We have failed so many people.

It’s telling how all the writers, podcast folk, media personnel that had all the ammo to say “Leafs fans chased Marner away” none of them have “we were wrong” articles. No, they were most interested in trying to own Leafs fans than earnestly write legitimate articles.

Okay what do we think about a D core like this for next year: McCabe-Spence Ferraro-Tanev OEL-Kesselring No true superstars in that list for sure, but its a big shakeup and should help us move the puck

Carlo for Spence feels like a Chayka trade right?

leafs fans had to sit through being brought up & dragged through the mud unprovoked for months whenever he got a glorified secondary assist but the second we laugh a little about an own goal in a cup finals game it’s a problem got it got it

Really nerdy gripe here. The OHL uses pucks like currency, so organizing these graphics by pick year is wrong. The most important info is how many you got, therefore the formatting should be: 2nd (2028) 2nd (2029) 3rd (2028) 3rd (2029) 4th (2028) 7th (2027)

Carolina saved the entire hockey world from The Discourse AND we never have to listen to the professional referee defender again

Im reading draft coverage. Can any scout explain to me why San Jose keeps yelling about a need for a PPQB? Sam Dickinson is right there! Develop him! Hes great!

Huh, almost like the non-Toronto radio media shouldn't have spent two months rubbing our faces in all this and this wouldn't be happening. Oh well.

100% Marner was prepared to say what Kadri said when he won the cup in 22. However they were two different stories, what Kadri said was directed at management whereas Marner would have directed his towards the fan base.

Genuinely hope that the former leafs fans that became Marner fans after he left (you know who they are), are having a terrible day today.

"We're going to spend 2 months gaslighting you, but when it's proven you were all correct all along, we'll just call you delusional instead".

im being a very gross hater tonight but the thing is if every other fanbase in the league didn’t start victory lapping on the leafs early we wouldn’t have to be like this

Should an alternate captain and highest paid player answer questions after a devastating loss that he underperformed in. Or is it ok to avoid the media and slip out the back entrance. Asking for a friend. @AdamWylde @sdpnsports #marner

Comparing how gracefully Nik Ehlers talked about Winnipeg yesterday to how Marner pre-emptively was firing shots at Toronto (dark times, no one gets mad at each other) is insane. All this serial loser ever wants to do is make things about himself. Enjoy never getting back, 16.

The media wanted to make this Marner revenge arc a thing so badly, so I’m extremely happy it didn’t finish that way. Barely any talk of Ehlers the whole way though - and when they did he was so respectful and thankful to them

Real Mitch Marner finally showed up!!
