A little late perhaps, but a gorgeous goal by the #Canucks in #Philadelphia. A Vancouver forward skated hard into open ice toward the #Flyers net, a neat pass to him, and he slips the puck in through the five hole.

Hellooooooo @jtbourne.bsky.social, the #Leafs tried harder, sure, but they still can't pass, shoot or finish. And it's clear that they just don't have the speed of most #NHL clubs.

The #Sportsnet crew was doing everything it could to convince fans that the #Leafs' 5-1 loss was a positive development and something for the club to build on. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA. #Cuthbert

This headline conveniently omits the word "illegally". Imagine how the West would react if it read, "Russian Approves 19 More Settlements In Military Occupied Ukraine". #FreePalestine

More egregious lack of defensive coverage by the #Leafs late in the second period, and it's 2-2 against the league-worst #Predators.

The #Leafs created just ONE classic forward rush in that first period against the #Predators... and Nick #Robertson created a tic-tac-toe with #McMann and #Roy. The Buds were actually skating and possessed the puck more than usual.

Thanks to the resurgent #Canucks' third straight win tonight, the #Leafs will face the league's worst team tomorrow night in #Nashville. Should be fun, #LeafsNation.

Uh, thanks for burying the lede. The story is that the Trump administration has broken the law again.
Tapper: This is one of the documents the DOJ released. It’s 100 pages. It’s all black. That’s the transparency we’re getting.

The #Leafs have scored just 11 goals in their last 6 games, 4 of which were losses. Meantime, on Long Island, booted Leafs forward David Kampf has scored for the #Canucks. Sigh. #TrelivingMustGo

Hey @jtbourne.bsky.social, any energy the #Leafs have is wasted; won't skate to open ice, no one's ready for a pass, too many 'pass' attempts are low-percentage off the boards... and none of these guys looks like they've played together before. I say their play is a direct middle finger to #Berube.

Unlike about 30 other #NHL teams, @jtbourne.bsky.social, the #Leafs either refuse to or no longer know how to play keep-away hockey. They get the puck and promptly toss it away... all game long.

Four #Leafs forwards who were cast out are back in Toronto to take on the Buds tonight. #Foligno, #Mikheyev, #Bertuzzi and #Lafferty could help the #Blackhawks burn the slumping home team. #Matthews #Treliving #Berube

With a couple of weeks left in 2025, this sums up how the geopolitical world has unfolded since January 21st: by doubling down on climate-altering fossil fuels, Trump is ceding the world’s energy future to renewable energy champion China. Full stop.

Great road win in Miami by the @torontoraptor.bsky.social. Complete team effort led by Brandon Ingram and Scottie Barnes to start a new winning streak after a couple of rough weeks. Raptors 106 Heat 96.

The clown disgracefully approved by the #GOP to lead the US military, Pete #Hegseth, wrote this, "Let it be known, if you target Americans - anywhere in the world you will spend the rest of your brief, anxious life knowing the United States will hunt you, find you, and ruthlessly kill you." Geezuz.

Two Canadians have grabbed two of the five #PGATour cards up for grabs in the 176-player #Q-school event. #AJEwart and Adam #Svensson finished 1st and 3rd, respectively, but heartbreak for Canada's Ben #SIlverman, who lost in a playoff for the 5th and final spot.
