    2023-24 NHL Game Thread

    The early playoff schedule (and the lead up to it) is ridiculous. The Oilers get hooped. There are a few other examples. Leafs play BTB against Fla/TB in Florida Tues/Wed, then presumably again vs Fla on Sat. NHL is chasing that Sat date - but the schedule isn't lined up for the ideal 2 west / 2...

    4/6 - Gausman at Schmidt

    Heh there are numerous story lines there that would make for great TV drama: - Gausman is intentionally sabotaging Schmidt - Gausman is helping, Schmidt throws 7 no-hit innings. Jays hitters pummel Gausman after the game - both pitchers have bad days and accusations fly from every direction -...

    PWHL - to be named later

    Yeah, I was kind of thinking about Boston earning more "draft points" than NY. As an aside, I suspect the PWHL would have preferred that at least one of those teams made the playoffs...

    PWHL - to be named later

    I like the "Gold Plan" for determination of PWHL draft position. Once a team is eliminated, they earn points towards draft position using the same point scheme. So once NY is eliminated, they still have to try in remaining games in order to earn draft points. Most draft points drafts first. A...

    March/April 2024 MLB Gamethread

    Didn't somebody strike someone else out last year after he or pitchcom were telling the batter repeatedly what was coming?

    I don't know as much NHL history as you guys do, although I'm competent. I was looking how many players have ever been suspended for life. Because I'm worried Rempe will join the club. Ah never mind I looked it up. Suspended for Life After losing the Stanley Cup Final to the Ottawa...

    2023-24 NHL Game Thread

    Funny moment in the Leafs - Canadiens game to start the 3rd. There was a scrum at the end of the second, Leafs got assessed one minor, Habs 2. So Leafs started on the PP at the start of the 3rd and sent out their top PP unit. Just before the puck was dropped, the Habs started complaining, and...

    2024 NHL Trade Deadline Thread

    Having Giordano go down early in the game with what I suspect is a significant head injury forced their hands I think. Not that he's been overly great either, but he's a reasonably competent d-man. Dearth of assets is an understatement. Leafs have no picks in 2025 until the 5th round I think..

    2024 NHL Trade Deadline Thread

    Steep price to pay for Lyubushkin, but Leafs are running out of defencemen. Mitch Marner wound up playing defence for half of the game last night.

    One of those stats that you hear and then just blink for a while and think "Really?" Leafs beat Arizona in Toronto tonight. First time in 21 years they have won in Toronto vs Arizona in regulation.

    OK that was fantastic. I think that poor guy on the ice is Bains? I presume he was trying to snooker the Avs. I haven't been able to find any more coverage.

    PWHL - to be named later

    They announced the attendance as 19,200 or thereabouts. Was a decent game. I like how they are using different venues to showcase for other cities. (There is a game upcoming in Pittsburgh, which seems to want an expansion team.)

    The Leafs' record without Reilly in the lineup over the past couple of years is insanely good. Which makes ZERO sense. They have like two guys capable of making competent outlet passes. Reilly is one of them.

    2023-24 NHL Game Thread

    Yeah. Reilly was probably in the running for the Lady Byng (1 minor all year I think). (Which might not be what you are after in your top d-man, but I digress...) He sure blew that out of the water in a hurry.

    PWHL - to be named later

    Apparently Toronto are playing vs Montreal and have moved the venue to ScotiaBank Arena (where the Leafs play). They expect a near sellout, so likely another attendance record for pro women's hockey.

    2023-24 NHL Game Thread

    Also I've been enjoying watching the social media blowup between Leafs fans and Ottawa fans over the past couple of days. The weirdest reaction is from Leafs fans (and I am one, for the record) who are mad that Marner didn't find a partner to scuffle with. He was the deepest forward on the play...

    Lol. Just listening to the Dangle podcast (he's the guy who does reactions after every Leafs game, you guys posted his video after the Leafs lost to their own zamboni driver) and they somehow stumbled onto the subject of Brad Marchand's 1000th game upcoming. The host asked Steve to say something...

    Orioles sold for $1.7b

    Without question they have. And finally getting into the bidding wars for international players helped too. But, even though you are right and tanking in MLB has less immediately tangible results than, say, the NBA, it still provides you with more raw material to work with in the farm system and...

    Orioles sold for $1.7b

    Or even if they open the pocketbook a little and add to the young cheap talent. I'd like to say I'm happy for O's fans... but I hate this system that encourages massive tanks.
