There will be NO better time for the #Leafs to find a new home for Auston #Matthews. None. Restock the cupboards which were rendered bare by #Dubas & #Treliving & build around #Nylander and #Knies.

After driving the Leafs into the ditch, Dubas has changed tactics and is collecting draft capital.

New US tariffs are illegal, just another attempt by #Trump to ignore the law and dare the courts to stop him. When affected parties challenge these new levies in the coming days, the courts should step in and halt them. Trump has replaced one set of illegal tariffs with another. #TrumpCrimeFamily

I assume the Terrible Twos Toddler will be wearing a heavy-duty diaper for tonight's lunatic address. #StateofTheUnion #TrumpCrimeGamilyForPrison

As the new bully/fascist regime in Washington does everything it can to starve #Cubahs 11-million people, where is #Canada? While WHite House mobsters use military might and economic threats against any nation that might help Cuba, the #Carney government has said nothing. Shame on it.

Eleven killed in Israeli strikes on Gaza, rescuers say The Palestinian Red Crescent say a strike on a tent encampment in northern Gaza killed at least six people.

The #IDF slaughter of #Palestinians continues unabated, despite that alleged 'ceasefire'.

Canada's Victoria #@Mboko is a refreshing addition to women's tennis. Unlike so many time-wasting players, she gets right to it - likely the fastest player on tour. #WTA

Fantastic win at the #QatarOpen by young Canadian Victoria #Mboko. She takes out world number one Elena #Rybakina to reach the semi-finals. Impressive. #WTA

Quick reminder about the inherent evils of the #Zionist expansion project - #Israel continues to kill, starve, and imprison Palestinians months after a so-called ceasefire. #FreePalestine

Gorgeous set-ups by three #Canadian 'Ms' have the Canucks up 3-0 over #Czechia through two periods - #Makar, #Marner and #Marchand with world-class assists on goals by #Celebrini, #Stone and #Horvat. Wow.

The Treliving/Berube management duo is dumbfoundedly inane. Benching Maccelli in favour of Cowan and/or Domi was nuts.

Because he packed the Calgary convention with Maple MAGA types, small-c conservative Canadians are stuck with a smarmy, entitled grievance baby that virtually all polls say is despised by the vast majority of us. Hmmmmm. #Poilievre

Impressive #Flames win over the #Oilers.

Rejected #Leafs #Kapanen gets the tying goal for the #Oilers, so it HAS to be Zach #Hyman (another forsaken #Leafs) with the winner. 2-2 with lots of time left in the third.

How much irony is there in Kasperi #Kapanen (a forsaken #Leafs) easily dancing around Max #Domi to tie the game for the #Oilers.

A lot of standing around and refusing to skate by the #Leafs to start the third, clinging to a one-goal lead over the #Oilers.

The #Berube #Leafs have a bad habit of trying to protect one-goal leads... by just dumping it out and battling for pucks along the boards. We'll see. Toronto leads the #Oilers 2-1 as the third period gets underway.

04.02.2026 03:36 β€” πŸ‘ 1    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 0    πŸ“Œ 0

The #Leafs have now played 5 periods without Morgan #Rielly... and there's no doubt they look far more connected and aren't spending as much time in their own zone.

Only two forsaken #Leafs in the #Oilers lineup tonight - #Hyman & #Kapanen. Karma says one or both will be prominent in the result.

The #NHL #Olympics trade freeze is almost here, so I expect #Leafs GM Brad #Treliving will do something ridiculous.

JUST what the #Leafs needed - a couple more points to settle into that 27-24th worst spot to help out the #Bruins at next June's draft. Sigh.

It's pretty much #Nylander 3, #Flames 2 halfway through the third period in Calgary.

The #Leafs are threatening to actually make hockey plays against the #Flames. Oh so close. Of their 6 shots in the first 27 minutes, only the #Nylander shot was a good one. And it went in.

The #Leafs are hanging in there against the #Flames.

Fans of the #Leafs are terrified that the incompetent #Treliving (see #Minten) will steer this battered ship to a 27-28th overall finish, handing the #Bruins more of their future.

I wouldn't be surprised if #Leafs GM #Treliving shipped out Brandon #Carlo AND Denis #Hildeby to the #Oilers for a third round pick. That's how he rolls.

Just me, perhaps, but I like the #RealKyperandBourne show/podcast a whole lot better when it's just the TWO OF YOU. No need for the amateur fanboy. Thanks. @jtbourne.bsky.social

Finally ! Some encouraging #Leafs injury news: veteran D-man Morgan #Rielly is out tonight and tomorrow and won't be back until after the Olympics break. YAY !! The Buds have always been calmer and more structured without this guy fumbling around on the back end.

A lifelong grifter, felon & rapist is mentioned more than 5,000 times in the so-called #EpsteinFiles. But you'd never know that through mainstream media. #TrumpCrimeFamilyForPrison
