Anyone in the HBSL playoffs?

I remember the days when regional games would be on Over-The-Air stations. With all of the transmitters, in big cities, you'd think that you could have one of them buy the rights and broadcast the games on one of their subchannels. But of course, the greedy regional sports networks want to make you pay to watch and force feed you gambling and beer commercials. At least the OTA channels had a bigger footprint and the games were available to everyone. I miss the days of the Leafs on CFTO, Global and CHCH. Guys like Fergie Oliver, Richard Bedoes and Jim Tatti ruled. Most of you out there weren't even born when CFTO did the Leafs games on Wednesday Nights. At the time, they were a minority share owner of the Maple Leafs.

I hate clouds as much as the next guy, but over the air stations like CFTO and Global were part of large national networks. Bell owns CFTO, and of course owns a portion of the Leafs.

So not sure your plan for an independent, over-the-air, not tied to any cable company broadcast model for NHL teams is going to work.

Hope the oilers get Ekholm with cap retained

If they gave away #93 i would sue!!!
- THE EVIL WITHIN

It's been retired so no law suit necessary

So dubas gets a top 6 player, a 3rd and 4th liner along with a 3rd pairing dman (with potential to play 2nd line) and not losing anyone off the line up.
Not bad.

#6 is retired no? Ace Bailey
- Big23Questions

yes it is.

Between this and giving Woll Carlton's #, somebody at MLSEL needs to be fired.
- Atomic Wedgie

I think #6 was retired 🤷🏼‍♂️

It looks like some web editor for the Leafs has just slapped the numbers that they wore in Chicago on the Leafs' website.

Ya that makes sense

Hope the oilers get Ekholm with cap retained

Need more McDavid in the playoffs, its simply amazing.
Plus the west looks weak, they could go deep

No thanks. We need the Oilers to continue their ineptitude so McDavid comes to the Leafs in a few years.

Interesting concept

Does he provide enough tenacity, truculence and leadership for this current group of warriors?

Know what I got out of this post? Leafs are getting Chychrun.

Done deal, as far as I'm concerned.

The NHL needs major market teams to do well. TML, NYR, Kings getting a few rounds in would be more useful than Edmonton, TBL, Carolina

Kerfoot or Engvall to Buffalo

One of them gets game 7 OT winner against Boston

Leafs sweep them in the 2nd round

Do you 2 do “rock/ paper/ scissors” to see who gets to lick the window first?

It can have both.
McDavid in the playoffs is much more exciting than the kings and rangers. The nhl has had that already as its great for ratings
It needs the best player in the league in the playoffs

Who cares about the west.

Let the big market teams advance and get the cap back up again for next year.

Kings don't belong on the list.

Their TV viewership is next to nil.

Put Flyers on there instead.

Jesus.
Canadian teams generate a large portion of the revenue
Half the league cares about the west.
No one cares if you dont

Was looking at teams in playoffs this year but wouldn’t be a bad thing to create some LA buzz
