This has BIG impact in 🇨🇦. Many people subscribe to Crave for HBO content. That content will now be on Netflix. Leaving Crave with???? This is the sports content domino. Bell eyeing NHL games through Amazon for Crave & maybe RDS takes over french NHL rights too...

Caught a little of the @MapleLeafs hour on @RealKyper show and Nick opined that no real no changes to Leafs for the season. I'd say that presser suggests he is right.

"Too vanilla" Brad Treliving on the @MapleLeafs character thus far. I'd say the same to his performance in his presser. If you are going to speak, say something

thank you! I'd respect your instructions a lot more of if you ever posted an original thought of your own, as opposed to just replying to anyone who takes the time to do so. More importantly, you don't have to follow me.

There is a lot of noise these days that Masai is going to be sticking around Toronto for a bit with a major role with the Toronto Tempo. Not forever but....

All ears on NBA board meeting today in Las Vegas. Will Seattle & Las Vegas learn the expansion plans of the league? Or, will owners not want to share the newly minted national TV revenue??

Sportsnet’s subscribers are feeling gouged by the new streaming prices. They have a right to be angry Rogers owns just about everything in Canadian pro sports. And it’s acting like it.

If the goal is to grow the game, why do we still get the same stale intermission segments?
Tell real stories. Talk about the coaches, players, their families.
Are you watching these segments, or are you grabbing coffee like I do?

the NHL average coaching tenure was down to 2.51 years across 32 teams *before* Cronin, Laviolette, and now Bylsma were fired. Now it's down to 2.38, which is even further below the other three major professional men's leagues.

As requested, the average tenure for NHL general managers is 4.74 years. The Ron Francis news brings that to 4.56 years.

Quite a bit of turnover in recent seasons, and in a lot of instances the former GM was not dismissed but moved up to president (that was the case for COL, WSH, VGK etc).

So instead of showing the Capitals/CBJ game, Sportsnet is showing the Lightning vs Sabres game. 13 more years of this.

Bruce Arthur: More Rogers billions will make the NHL richer, not the viewing experience While Amazon feels fresh and TNT delivered a revitalized vision in the U.S. and TSN has the best broadcasters, Sportsnet will continue to hold Canadian NHL rights.
