Game 6 on Saturday was the most watched Stanley cup playoff game ever.
average audience of 4.7m
It reached 10.2 Canadians.

Wonder if it has anything to do with the fact less people are getting together to watch it, thus more TVs being on the channel.
- Santo_44


Probably, yeah. I don't even know how well the numbers add up. I know I've been watching playoffs with some friends over Zoom. I have cable, as does another two guys, two guys have Android boxes, one guy has an HD antenna and a couple just stream it from NHL TV.

It does create some chaos in timing when we're talking about a play. One of the guys streams from Texas and they are routinely at least a minute behind us on cable - and the guy with the HD antenna is about 7 seconds ahead of the cable feed. The android boxes are usually over a minute behind.

In my experience, these Player X is "better than" or "as good as" Player Y arguments are never worth the energy exploring for any number of reasons.
- mjones242


Your are correct... esp when so ridiculously feeble to begin with.


Their are obviously tiers in the league of guys that are widely acknowledged to be a level above... but most all of us know who and what those guys are and more obviously who aren't ... that's all my point was.

JMO, but I think Hutton plays spazzier than Dermott. He always seems to be in a bit of a panic and rushed.
- Woderwick

there is no way that hutton is spazzier than justine hole🤦‍♂️

give him a shot👍🏿

hole reminds me of when we were jizzing our short pants over andy (frank)ing wozniewski 🤦‍♂️

Oh, I totally agree with you -- I just find these types of debates soul-crushing. Not necessarily because someone is making a blatantly absurd comparisons, but more for the time I'm wasting that could better be spent searching for new and exciting porn shows to watch.

- senstroll

that kinda my theory

if they back into the second round, it’ll be interesting to see how they perform in front of crowds in these “non traditional markets”.

i used to love playing on the road and thrived on the crowd hate and boos😍

It's funny to me that we've reached a point where Nylander is now considered by Leafs Nation to be better than Marner.

Marner has been aggressively terrible this playoff while Nylander has elevated his game.

It's not entirely shocking that Mitch has faced hyperbolic criticism. I kind of think he's over-thinking his game and is, if anything, trying too hard to be better when he really just needs to be his usual self and do his usual magical things.

Much later in the rebuild process.
I don't think Dubas has done a bad job per se, but he hasn't done exceptional.
For the Leafs GM, only exceptional level should be expected, not 'okay-ish'.

- MaximusAurelius

Done pretty damn good this year. He and Keefe took a team that was near dead last in GA and brought it to a top 5 or 6.
Yea, we should coax Peter Chiarelli here next season instead.

Marinara sauce mixed with a very healthy amount of Calabrian Chili paste. You’re welcome.

Peter Chiarelli?

Dubas brought in Campbell, Muzzin, Spezza, Foligno, Simmonds, Thornton, Brodie, Bogosian and Tavares and a lot of depth at every single position... If the Leafs lose, it's not on Dubas..

Yeah definitely not shocking that there's been hyperbolic criticism. It's just a great juxtaposition because Leaf fans don't stop to consider that Marner's fortunes might turn even as their previous scapegoating target is now the golden boy. It's perfect.

MLSE pays for Uber rides home for all 550, to avoid the potential law suits. Needs a third playoff round to help pay for that.
