What reaction?

Mailbag time:

- A major TV show serves up the most on-the-nose metaphor for being a Leafs fan ever seen

- How do Leaf fans feel about the Habs rebuild?

- Would McKenna to the Pens make people madder than McDavid to the Oilers?

- And more…

The worst and most perfect metaphor for being a Maple Leafs fan, and more: DGB mailbag

Plus a reason to believe for Sabres fans, and the potential ramifications of the Penguins winning the lottery and selecting Gavin McKenna.

True story, I wrote a thing today about how bad they are on the assumption they'd lose again tonight.

Just want to let everyone know that I turned the game on just as Gimenez was coming up to the plate. Let me know if the team needs my ring size.

It never makes sense to panic when you're two or three games in. Still, let's sort some teams after an eventful weekend.

Can anyone recommend an app for tracking nfl games — field position, stats, etc — in real time?

The official nfl app is somehow getting worse, there must be an alternative.

Every NHL banner-raising ceremony of the salary cap era, ranked purely on spite

The real point of a Cup banner-raising ceremony is to make the other team feel bad. Let's rank how each team did on that front.

First time the Jays and Leafs have won playoff series in the same year since 1993, which I’ve been told was a fun time.
