Hey @jtbourne.bsky.social. Caught your K&B #Leafs hour. It's obvious to my eye that the last two Leafs wins were DESPITE their disjointed play. Despite Craig Berube. The only thing that was improved was their energy (& Joseph #Woll stopping pucks). Chip'n'chase & dumping pucks into a void?
No.

The boats the regime is claiming are going from Venezuela to the US would need to refuel over 20 times to get to Miami.

They are lying to us.

Data centres are energy hungry but what if we could use their waste heat to heat our homes?

That's exactly what happens in places like Finland: Cities are tapping the vast amounts of waste heat generated by data centres, and feeding it into district-heating networks.

It was just a few weeks ago that the head of the Washington-based crime family, Don #Narcoleptic, met fellow lawbreaking strongman #Putin to discuss how to steal and keep Ukrainian land.

The narcoleptic gaseous emissions chief continues to prove his unfitness for public office.

If #Leafs bench boss Craig Berube is smart and savvy, he'll leave the #Roy, #McMann and #Joshua line together for an extended period. They need playing time to really gel.

I have to completely disagree. Skating, energy and solid goaltending from the #Leafs, granted, in a game against a team missing SEVEN regulars, including #Barkov and #Tkachuk. But dump and chase and flipping pucks out is ugly hockey. @mirtle.bsky.social

They're not planning the parade yet, but the #Leafs have won two in a row and outscored their opponents 11-3. Toronto's style is dump and chase and scoring from scrambles. But it's worked for six periods. On to Carolina to wrap up the road trip on Thursday.

Clever little move by the #Panthers Samoskevich, drawing an interference penalty on the #Leafs Joshua. Grabs the Leaf and makes it look just the opposite.

Incredibly, newcomer waiver pickup Troy #Stetcher is clearly the #Leafs' best D-man, with speed, good clearing and passing, and willing to put pucks to the net.

It's NOT been a very pretty game in Florida, but the #Leafs are skating, creating chances and NOT being out everythinged. 2-0 Buds through 34 minutes.

03.12.2025 01:56 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 0    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

The #Leafs are making good on their limited chances in Florida - two 1st period goals on just four shots, picking up from Pittsburgh where they scored seven on just 18 shots. Still, lotsa Leafs just flipping the puck out and battling along the boards. It ain't pretty, but...

Two Canadian-based #NHL teams were deprived of skate-sharpeners this season - the Winnipeg #Jets and Toronto Maple #Leafs. Sl-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-w.

It's great that reporting on the double tap has spotlighted the abject criminality of this Administration.

But don't forget: Venezuela is not waging war on America or Americans, and the men killed were not combatants.

The first strike was every bit as illegal as the second.

I'm shocked that @jtbourne.bsky.social is shocked that Morgan #Rielly is a defensive sieve. He has been one since he was in junior and drafted in the first round by Brian #Burke. Also, he's the common thread in the #Leafs 12-season failure to come even close to a Cup.

In the new, fascist #USA, the buck stops nowhere and with no one. Huh.

Again, @jtbourne.bsky.social, can you urge your producer to conduct a session with your three that emphasizes no interruptions, allowing a complete thought and cuts down on all three of you talking at once? It's lousy broadcasting.

Even the Pittsburgh #Penguins are cheating against the #Leafs by skating, passing and looking in sync. What gives? As they did last night, the Buds scored on their first shot (against the run of play) in a scramble.

With most #Leafs unable to make a pass, take a pass or finish, the #Capitals wire a shot past Joseph #Woll and, voila, 3-2 #Capitals with 3 minutes left. The Leafs had a 2-0 lead. Wow!

29.11.2025 00:29 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 1    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

The #Leafs Morgan #Rielly is a sieve. A non-contact, non-defender. Yikes! He's been on for both #Capitals goals as the Buds are only in this game, AGAIN, because of Joseph #Woll. 2-2 With 6 minutes left in the third.

29.11.2025 00:23 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 1    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

The #Leafs seem to have an aversion to attacking puck carriers. PLUS, they usually don't have the speed to catch them.

What the heck happened to the once swift and deadly #Vegas #GoldenKnights? They look slooooowwwwww. #GoldenSlugs

The #Leafs waste SO. MUCH. ENERGY. by constantly stopping and starting. Better clubs keep skating. Physics.

The #Leafs just had three forwards against two #Capitals D-men at the Washington blueline... and dumped it in. WTF? Naturally, it came straight back out in Washington's possession.

28.11.2025 22:28 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 0    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

It only took the #Leafs a few seconds to get bottled up in their own zone and almost give up a goal. Geezuz.

There's NO doubt that #Leafs skaters will leave goaltender Joseph #Woll out to dry, AGAIN, as they take the ice against the #Capitals. It's just a matter of degree.

Tesla Model Y Posts Worst Defect Rate of Any New Car in a Decade Tesla Model Y reliability just hit rock bottom in Germanyโ€™s TรœV Report 2026, with the worst defect rate in a decade. Hereโ€™s why that matters to you.

Germans don't like shoddy cars.

"Tesla Model Y ranked last for reliability among nearly new cars in Germany's TรœV 2026 report.
17.3% of Model Ys failed serious safety inspections; common issues included brakes and suspension."

Hey there #USA, you've clearly forsaken justice and democracy to tinpot thuggery. #Hegseth should be the first one imprisoned when your nightmare ends.
