    Eddie Shack 1937-2020

    https://twitter.com/Zeisberger/status/1287391279349981184 Before my time but I met him as a kid in the parking lot of the St. Lawrence Market and he couldn't have been a nicer guy.

    2020 HHOF Induction Thread

    Just because I'm bored... Tomorrow they'll announce this year's inductees into the HHOF. Jarome Iginla, in his first year on the ballot, seems like the only sure thing. Marian Hossa, despite still technically being under contract, is also on the ballot and it seems crazy to me that he wouldn't...

    The End of Meat

    An interesting opinion piece in the New York Times today, some of the choice points being made are: These are all paragraph headers that are then elaborated on. Basically the argument makes the case that eating meat regularly is bad for our health, our wallets, our planet and animals...

    Your personal all-time Leafs team

    Just as a way to keep busy or engage the board I thought I'd start with asking people to name their personal team of favourite Leafs. Not best, just guys you like or you associate with your fandom. Naming 13 forwards, 7 d, 3 goalies. If you want it to be guys you didn't see from the olden...

    2020 MLB Thread

    Well might as well start this off with a nutty trade: To Dodgers: Mookie Betts, David Price To Twins: Kenta Maeda To Red Sox: Alex Verdugo, Brusdar Graterol So, to cap it off, an incredibly profitable team in a huge market traded one of the best players in the world because they didn't want to...

    Nicklas Backstrom signs 5 year, 46 million dollar extension

    https://twitter.com/reporterchris/status/1217070616815308803 Lot of money/term for a 32 year old but Backstrom is pretty durable. Only played fewer than 75 games in a full season once. Also, and this came as a bit of a shocker to me, but he's almost at this point a 100% guaranteed lock of a...

    Russia receives 4 year Olympic ban from WADA

    Russia banned for 4 years from international competition This apparently will also apply to the FIFA World Cup. Not sure if it applies  any IIHF stuff but apparently, like the last Olympics, clean Russian athletes will be apply to compete as independents.

    Leafs @ Islanders - Nov. 13th, 7:00pm - SN, Fan 590

    I don't think Dubas will do anything until the Leafs actually miss the playoffs.

    Don Cherry fired by Sportsnet

    Then why boycott Budweiser for not wanting to sponsor him? Seriously, you can't even form a consistent opinion from post to post. Except you said Sportsnet should pre-emptively censor him. This is not about anyone's legal rights. They were never infringed. Nobody ever suggested they should...

    Don Cherry fired by Sportsnet

    Yes, and it betrayed a complete and total lack of understanding as to what free speech is, either as a charter right or a concept. Cherry was fired by a private company. This has nothing to do with anyone's charter rights. Again, who cares? The issue is whether or not they reacted...

    Don Cherry fired by Sportsnet

    I'm sure you think that's a very interesting point you're making but nobody has said Sportsnet is a flawless organization that always has made the best possible decisions. Just that they did the right thing here in their reaction to this issue by apologizing and moving forward. Seriously, you...

    Don Cherry fired by Sportsnet

    Ok? They apologized and fired him. They showed contrition and acted to correct the problem. That's what a responsible organization does to make amends for wrongdoing.

    Idiocracy

    Don Cherry fired by Sportsnet

    Nowhere in the charter of rights and freedoms do you have the right to say whatever you want as the host of a TV show. Many people have made that point to you, you've ignored it. That's why people are doubting your motives.

    Don Cherry fired by Sportsnet

    Honestly? I don't think so. I remember back in the day when watching TV was still a big thing people did and Coach's Corner was appointment viewing in my house(and to be honest I think a lot of the media hype about Cherry's firing is nostalgia for one of the last remnants of the monoculture)...

    Don Cherry fired by Sportsnet

    I know that's been a popular theory for a while but it just seems like such a mistake to me. Feels like giving people a watered down version of what Coach's Corner has been the last 40 years would just make the people who liked Cherry more angry and do nothing for the people who didn't like...
