Comedy Platinum out of Toronto - "Canada's Team" quest for the Cup

[Bloody Brian Burke]

I like this guy...

Mate, there is zero chance of the Leafs doing anything other than losing in first round game 7. None.

Best of luck to Calgary though, they got a shot - Vancouver’s still in the playoff race after all.

Doug Risebrough should drop the ceremonial first puck.

/did you know he works for the Rangers now?

I did not know that - Amazing that the Rags are doing as well as they are lol

 

[Bloody Brian Burke]

So that wasn’t good.

Matthews coming back?

Matthews coming back?

It won’t make a difference if the defence is Swiss cheese and the goalie is Vesa Toskala.

Jesus Christ this is a dumb as fuck question.

Tim Peel weighs in:

Yeah, it was a dumb question, but you can see she was trying to get out what she overheard. If she had said "Have you fought before and what do you say about him calling you soft?" Same answer from Simmer.

Meanwhile, Pierre McGuire, Doug MacLean and the whole hockey bro podcast culture gets away with saying stupid shit for years, but one woman asks one question where she doesn't know who every single player has ever fought before and....

I gotta say the reporters of today are turning into absolute trash. The way she delivered it as well it brutal. just any way to get attention. garbage interview.

Leah Hextall has subsequently blocked Tim Peel on twitter and Peel is taking a victory lap. Attaboy Tim, you got her. Moron.

The right thing to do was probably to text her network's resident statistician and ask if they've scrapped before. She would've gotten a response in 20 seconds and had the time to ask the right question.

FWIW it's not like Wayne made a thing out of being asked "Are you, a human freight train who's been wrecking motherfuckers for a decade, soft?" but it reflects really poorly on Hextall and the fact it was asked to a Leaf player means it's gonna get dragged everywhere.

Steve Dangle has come to Leah's defense...

I missed this from last night's game - Pretty careless play by Kucherov.

Gave Clifford a fine for bonking Perry on the head with a stick too but nothing on either the Bunting punch or the Marner attempted leg slicing (FORENSIC INVESTIGATION!), both of which were definitely more dangerous.

“Player safety” tho.

man, I 8-1 that happens

The MVP is back...

Will Matthews get a hat trick tonight or only two goals?
