I wonder if that speaks kind of to what I’m feeling that Berube isn’t the coach for this roster? Either consciously or subconsciously the buy in to his methods or system isn’t there. Or the likes of Matthews, Nylander etc can only buy in so far. They tried last year and lost bits of what made...

This is a cool stat

So to me the Leafs have gotten more boring and unwatchable the last 2 seasons. And I don’t think the roster (particularly the top end of it, or in fact the D as constructed) will ever be able to play “Berube” hockey. They’ve maybe mastered the dump bit of dump and chase. But they’re not built...

One key thing I’ve learnt from this exercise: the vast majority of commentators/announcers around the NHL are intolerable.

That’s one of the things I do really like about the Toronto sports scene - the various teams do tend to back each other and interact in fun ways.

Baseball was the first "American" sport I ever got into, probably cos it was kind of like cricket which is a sport I’ve played since I was about 9 years old. I remember watching a baseball game on TV when I was on a holiday in the USA in the early or mid 1990s when I was anbout 11 and instantly...

Amazing. Actually amazing.

Well, this is tempting fate

I think I’d honestly rather they’d been swept than lose an ALCS game 7

I don’t even know any more now. Hope, crushed, hope, crushed. And now hope again. Maybe I actually did like it more when they were just crap 😂

See. This is what happens.

It’s the same for all the Img files. I presume it’s maybe something to do with wherever you host them possibly being blocked in UK/Ireland. In fact, I found this:

I hadn’t checked this thread in a while, but I can’t believe you’re discriminating against the Irish readers 😢😂 (No idea why I’m getting this)

Bastards. They’ve given us hope again.

I had a brainwave and actually downloaded the NHL app for the first time in years. They have a “game recap” video section where there’s 5 minute highlights of each game. Bang on what I’m looking for 😃 Then if there’s any games I’ve more of an interest in I can dig into the full highlights on...

Hey, I remember a time we couldn’t even score on the empty nets

Mariners are just a better team, I feel. No shame in that. Jays have massively exceeded expectations and they’ve been (mostly) great fun to watch again. My hope is they can get a game or two at least out in Seattle and not now surrender meekly..

I love when they have these rare early face offs that are peak UK time… and it clashes with me being out to watch Northern Ireland v Germany in a World Cup qualifier instead. Sake. NHL need to pay more attention to their scheduling.

Hopefully he’s watching and realising he’d like to sign a new loooong contract so he can be part of this next time

I tried the NHL website highlights. They’re about 8 minutes long on average instead of 11 or so for Sportsnet. I stuck one on every now and again as a break from work but it was about 3pm before I got them all watched 😂 I checked a few clubs own YouTube’s and a lot don’t even have any...
