Tarps off is a slang phrase that talks about drunk hockey players with their shirts off. It has nothing to do with homophobia. It's much ado about nothing.

More idiotic mobs marching down to the town square, their torches doused in kerosene, so eager to burn anything they can.

said something like....you have a photo of a guy with his tarp off, you are definitely positive for something.

LOL I totally agree. I think they just look for any excuse in the name of being "woke" to be offended. quote=Monkeypunk]Tarps off is a slang phrase that talks about drunk hockey players with their shirts off. It has nothing to do with homophobia. It's much ado about nothing.

"Tarp Off": https://www.urbandictiona...efine.php?term=tarp%20off

In the sports world, you can be positive for steroids, positive for drugs, or you could just be hammered. It's stretch in the term to imply someone is positive for being drunk, but it's a significantly larger stretch to assume that he was making an AIDS reference given his history.

Someone is just looking to turn nothing into something. If the mob isn't cancelling somebody, what the Hell are mobs even for?

Are offended because you are not or because you are?

I don't think it was intentionally homophobic, I think it was just weird.

If we win tomorrow (sorry Wedge), think of how awesome it will be to have all of Canada forced to root for a team from Winnipeg just because of if their hatred of all things Toronto. The Leafs will have truly become Canada’s team.

I think that 15 minute segment before the game was way more offensive.

My understanding is that they were discussing how jacked some of these guys are immmediately beforehand. So, steroids maybe? or maybe he really just meant anything.

I think it's quite clear it was not a homophobic statement, just a bad attempt at humour really.

Ron Maclean has a dry, witty sense of humour, and it worked beside Don Cherry. Because Cherry was busy throwing out ridiculous statments, and Ron would sit back and throw a bunch of jabs that went totally over Don's head, and that was part of the humour of it. It wasn't really belly busting jokes, just more "I see what you did there" type stuff.

It doesn't really work on this panel though.

I believe their explanation was that the play in was part of the "post season", and that's why the stats were not included in the regular season stats.

But it was not considered "playoffs".

- Leafs43


The stats were included in players' and teams' playoff stats. They weren't exhibition games.
