Nothing but respect for people who take their mental health seriously. As someone who has struggled with it off and on it's nice to see.

I doubt that they'll ever tear it down like that here (based on Chipman's comments last year)

Probably getting out before the cable sports market crashes. I think they can keep the main event programming on CTV, and move more towards streaming. Are the production costs of live sports worth their revenues? Divesting in the Leafs might mean liquidity issues. Who would buy TSN? American carriers?
I honestly wouldn't mind seeing Corus pick up the Jets if Bell walks away from them. As an old time CKND watcher, when the games were a lot more scarce.
I think Chipman and Chevy will do whatever they can, to avoid a true rebuild. The building would be 1/2 full every night is we were on year 14 of the rebuild, continually cycling through high draft picks and going no where like Buffalo.

I have no idea what the Canadian regulations would be but ESPN own 20% of TSN maybe them or rather the Disney Corp would be interested.
Corus' share values are in the negative value range...
And when Trudeau "retires" the payments to media will be stopped...
So Corus is in no position to buy the Jets... maybe a lemonade stand...
Other Toronto business interests maybe... It is the Toronto Sports Network after all...

Losing their share in the Leafs and Raptors though is not a play on Toronto. Just means Rogers have the 3 big fish in the Big Smoke now. Regional NHL rights hardly justifies paying all the personalities. CFL and World Juniors are probably the two biggest assets TSN has. RDS does well with Canadiens, which Bell has a share in.
I just wonder who would fill the TV void if Bell sells TSN to Americans. Don't think ESPN would put in the production for Jets broadcasts, they'd just show more Rangers in all likelihood.

I sure hope not. If you thought the corporatization of media on Canada was bad now...
Apparently, his parents were both born in '65.

Well I don't think 8 is available in Anaheim to anyone anymore.

Nope. It's very clear in CRTC rules - broadcast licences can only be held by purely Canadian companies. Otherwise, the big US conglomorates would have bought Bell, Rogers and everything else in the 90's when they were totally out of control down here.

Whiteout Is Coming.
Anyone see this?
It sure looks like the Stars player was trying to kick him going down because that sure does not look like an ordinary falling motion.

Getting knocked backwards while standing on skates by someone also smearing you against the boards will frequently result in a falling motion which isn't "ordinary". Just my take, YMMV.

When I see guys like Alec Regula and Dakota Mermis being claimed off waivers, it makes more sense now why the Jets have kept Dylan Coghlan here for the season. Likely would get claimed off waivers if the bar is set that low. For a 7th round pick the Jets added depth that other teams may not have.
Be interesting to see how long they can manage carrying 9 d-men on the roster.
I also wonder how much Cap space the Jets would have left if tney add Chibrikov (or Gus if he gets waived), Lambert and Salomonsson to the post deadline roster, which might be the way to go this year. Internal depth, maybe add a low cost piece or two to the puzzle?

And they think Dermott is going to help them? Or just looking for a warm body to fill a slot?

They have Brodin on IR and now Middleton on LTIR, sent Jiricek to the minors so he's gonna play I guess
