Auston Matthews has been on an electrifying campaign with 58 goals this season ⚡️
@HilaryKnight
and
@Arda
break down the difference in his game from 2021.
The Maple Leafs draw the best goaltender in the world while several other teams are shooting on what appear to be letter carriers and dishwasher repairmen
*Jacob Markstrom puts up an .850 in this series*
TSN1050: "The Oilers are playing with this new edge, they just keep playing, they've really grown and turned a corner"
Rickey Henderson, New York Met: you wear a helmet in the field?
John Olerud, New York Met: yes
Henderson: I played with a guy in Toronto who did that
Olerud: that was me, Rickey
Blue Jays hitters have no plan at the plate. They don't seem to have any awarness of what the situation is. They just swing and chase and hack out of their asses no matter the score. Fire the hitting coach. It's pro sports, that's what you do
Amazing to see this groundswell of support for the Canada Men's National Team at the Guelph Line overpass for tonight's match! Heartwarming stuff!

Ryu's signing was step 1 towards why this Blue Jays team got as good as it is as fast as it did. It made them a legit destination. It absolutely sucks how it turned out.
This hockey market is so poisoned that TSN radio just had a 20 minute debate about how that Marner SH assist last night shows he's more committed to high-risk spectacular plays over "winning playoff hockey"
If Brendan Shanahan has any value to this org at all he gets in front of a mic and says as much. Maximize the fine. Start the Toronto vs Everyone narrative in full force.
A 2-time Vezina winner suddenly got hot for a week and the Leafs couldn't score, that'll happen. But "the 2 best players in the world" couldn't beat Larry Brossoit and Aiden Hill, that's real choking. 😌
The thing about the Leafs org is I don't think anyone involved really hates losing. Maybe directly in the moment, but they shelve it immediately after and move on to platitudes. They don't mind living where they do success-wise.
Best case scenario:
Habs go on a new coach fake heater, costs them Shane Wright, Arizona drafts him, Wright goes on to be a star with the new Quebec Nordiques
Quick flashback to the roster Marc Bergevin inherited back in 2012 when he took over...
I strongly suggest that Jeff Gorton & his choice of GM have inherited a much better starting hand in 2021 thanks to their now predecessor, Marc Bergevin.
