Pretty is not bad, witty and gay right behind. Charming and alarming a close 4th and 5th.

I'm sort of being facetious but as you're well aware there's really no way to avoid the sort of old school-new school divide between the Leafs' previous regime and the one that seemed to be in place when the Leafs brought in guys like Shanahan and Dubas.
Because a huge chunk of the debate in the hockey media over the last decade or so has been about these competing philosophies I think there were quite a few people who so wanted their beliefs validated that they were willing to pre-approve the new front office and give them credit before it was due. The flip side being the old schoolers wanting to take shots at it and give more credit to who they saw as their ideological horses like Lamoriello and Hunter.

Ah that.
During the Lou-Dubas transition, there was a very concerted effort in their media availabilities and subsequent interviews to stress Dubas' hockey bona fides to bridge the two factions of the fanbase. It's been quite interesting to see how each team that has been on the forefront of this 'battle' have chosen to handle it (see Florida).

John Bartlett will be replacing Paul Romanuk at Sportsnet. Bartlett was a radio guy for the Marlies for a number of years before moving to do Habs games on the radio and then on TV for TSN.

For the Athletic subscribers, Jonas Siegel has a great one on one interview with Matthews today. Touches on Tavares, Babcock, captaincy, expectations for himself and the team etc.

I'm not one to typically post big, exclusive scoops from paywall'd sources, but he also revealed that the team got Marleau to download and use snapchat.

So this was interesting to me, because some of you subscribe to The Athletic, and you posted a link to the article that this article refers to:
https://www.sportsnet.ca/hockey/nhl/auston-matthews-id-feel-ready-leafs-captaincy-asked/
So I'm wondering if this is how The Athletic is going to monetize some of their content beyond the subscriptions: charge for parts of interviews/stories to be published on other media sites.

Great! Looking forward to his writings.
(I've been a subscriber for a while now, and while I understand the purpose of advertising, video content, etc., etc., on other sites, somerimes one would like a reprieve and enjoy reading something else on a different level.).
