Probably doesn't help that the Leafs suck, while the Jays draw all of Canada, whereas hockey viewership among the Canadian teams is always going to be splintered several ways.
Should just connect your PC to your television and then you have the best of both worlds. It works well for me.

The Habs GDT is all kinds of hilarious. Its interesting reading through the meltdown and the related OMG posts...
To their credit most of the posters there realize the Oilers are the Habs Kryptonite anyway.
One comment was interesting. Like the game changed after McDavid snow plowed Price. Wasn't accidental on Connors part either. Just interesting gamesmanship by the kid.
I know Connors parents say he is "an old soul" but his maturity is ridiculous. Its like he invented hockey.

This is such a great way of putting it. He understands all the intricacies of the game. He understands the way every player plays the game. He knows where the puck is going to be, where he needs to be, and where his linemates are likely to be.
I'm not being hyperbolic when I say he reminds me a lot of Gretzky.

Well they never should have bid for the NHL rights in the first place then. If Baseball is their cash cow, run with it, and let TSN have the NHL rights. I'd let Bravo have the rights if they could produce good production values, and some ****ing local content.

You missed my point. I believe it was 'in' while the Jays were making their run. I am very skeptical that it's still 'in' now that they're out. I was hearing about the Jays every day, now I barely even see Baseball on TV at the bars. The order is back to its usual priority of NHL -> NFL -> NBA -> MLB. If you have numbers that disprove what I'm saying, fine. But I am super skeptical until I see hard numbers myself.
(p.s. I am in Ontario, so if any province is going to care about Baseball, it's going to be this one.)
CO, I agree with you. I'm weird and like to have my hockey on TV, haha. Might have to switch to a dedicated 'tv' box and my gaming/work computer though.

Guys Mclellan needs to be fired right?
One guy said that. One silly, silly, person in the GDT.

As much as I love Yakupov's game right now, I'd like to see him start scoring more goals. He's a natural goalscorer and there's no reason he shouldn't be potting them.

I agree. but he's shooting at 7% right now. It'll be fine when he spikes to the league average ~13%-15%

Nice opinion!
Opinion: def; A point of view not based on knowledge or fact.
He's shooting about where he usually does, maybe a touch under. I wouldn't expect a huge increase in goals.

Exactly. Baseball is "IN" in Canada now, just like the Habs are the BEST team in hockey.

This is the first time in his entire career, including Eakins, where he's putting up significantly more assists than goals. It'd be bizarre if his improved play didn't lead to a significant up-tick in shots taken, given the power behind his shots.

I also think his shooting percentage under Eakins is lower than what his 'norm' is. Like the rest of his play under the Eakins plague. 20% is likely too high for him to maintain (Rookie Season), but I expect him to return to league average numbers at least.
