Looking forward to the win tonight. Should be pretty quiet tonight

Hah. Good one. Seriously though the place was rocking in game 2 they couldn't even hear the whistle several times in the game. Leaf fans need to show up like that again.

the latte machine was broke fans had to go to their seats

wow
TSN just said TO's building is not a rocking building ....lol

It's plenty loud in the playoffs, but there is no question it doesn't reach Montreal level. I've always felt it's because there is an element of "Euro sports fan obsession" (in a good way) in Montreal that doesn't exist in any Canadian or US city.

wow

For someone always whining about TSN and SN being Toronto homers, you sure watch them a lot.

Yes, if you’re Canadian and a hockey fan, those are the 2 options.

Plus he says TSN as if they are this one entity. TSN could mean the overdrive boys who are clearly Leaf fans or Leaf haters like Craig Button. Meaningless

 

[SenzZen]

You mean like that one guy on social media that reposted a video from 2021?

Which one of the Mythbusters are you? The one with the beret?

 

[93gilmour93]

wow
TSN just said TO's building is not a rocking building ....lol

But I thought it's the Toronto homer network. Doesn't sound like something homers would say lol

 

[Gizmoskevich]

But I thought it's the Toronto homwr network. Does t sound like something homers would say lol

These networks and other news sites all know what drives engagement: Outrage and takes. They'll say whatever gets them eyeballs on their product.

Thanks for the take

Most of the time the paneling saying "The Leafs are playing well" or "doing good things" is seen as homer takes. Meanwhile it is ignored when they lose the same panels are roasting the shit out of them and their players.

Agreed. It's not that it's a homer network but instead it's a make news network. They do it well lol

I've yet to see a single NHL broadcast on any network that is entertaining. The only certainty in any game is that I will change the channel during an intermission, but I don't do that for NBA or NFL games because they use broadcasters (i.e., former players or coaches) with actual personality or with somewhat intelligent things to say. Hockey is downright awful. CBC? I'd rather put a fork in my eye than listen to Ron MacLean or anyone on that network. TSN and SN are equally terrible, although at least Jeff O'Neill can sometimes be entertaining I don't find the US broadcasts to be any better, although again sometimes Subban can be entertaining.

Well let's see we have a Matthews is over rated thread on this and the NHL forum, this is the only series on part 2 with 90% of the comments in the last 5 days coming from non Leaf fans piling on.

You guys can't get enough of the Leafs so why would they not run them front page? Easiest money ever. When they win, Leaf fans eat it up. When they lose, people like yourself do.

Agreed. CBC/Sportsnet is awful during intermissions with Botterill and Maclean being the worst one's for me.

Ron is employed by Sportsnet, all CBC does is show the Sportsnet broadcast.

Reverse psychology aimed to get Leafers in the house tonight to be “extra” loud

 

[Ratsreign]

it was 690 tsn montreal

Sacrebleu!! I can’t imagine they would say that about Toronto

 

[RussianGuyovich]

Sacrebleu!! I can’t imagine they would say that about Toronto

pfft. "tabernac" would be the appropriate french canadian expletive in this situation

I put it on pause and go have an intermission smoke. I’ll refrain from ragging on them all, but it’s all pretty useless stuff. Besides highlights of other games or any injury updates from the ongoing game, it’s easily skipped. Have a couple more puffs and then I can also skip past the commercials when the game resumes. Winner Winner.
