Hey @Le Tricolore . Looks like a Toronto team just won a championship, how do you feel about that?

 

[Guns n Roses]

He's back IMO.

Dead wrong but ok.

 

[GoodKiwi]

It would be quite the coupe if a team can lure Masai, who in turn brings kwahi with him.

I just don't know if that would be at all feasible. Kawhi isn't the type of a player to hop to his third new team. He either goes to Cali as he has always preferred or stay with familiarity and success in Toronto.

huh, I guess they were right, Toronto is going all the way this year

Can’t help but notice the difference in makeup between the leafs crowds and raptors crowds ...

This is seismic for future generations Hockey really needs to open its doors or Canada, Greater Toronto in particular will lose a lot of potential hockey talent to basketball down the line as kids and their families will definitely prefer the latter, especially when you take into account the costs.

What do you think -- is he back as a Raptor next year?

I ..I dont know lol... but , BUT..the deed is done, he could leave, and its no hard feelings at all

This...
Plus, the slow & steady growth of MLS will also chip away at hockey's supremacy, especially in Toronto, Vancouver & Montreal.

NHL, and hockey, need to get moving now (which they likely won't under Bettman & co), by the time it gets so bad that it really starts to dent their revenue, it will be too late.

Haven't spotted anything too wild, other than big crowds everywhere in Toronto, screaming and making noise.

This pales in comparison to when the Philadelphia Eagles won where a group of fans brought down a hotel awning but jumping off of it, a guy ate horse excrement off the pavement, some fans stripped naked for no reason and several street lights were disassembled and thrown about, it was a mayhem of epic proportions.

 

[HabsCowboysOwn]

Raps babyyyy! Damn this feels good! Bruins and Warriors losing championship games in the span of 24 hours, couldn’t be happier. The clip of Toronto erupting after the win gave me goosebumps, hope I’ll get to experience that in Montreal one day!

Anyway, bye bye GS, your time’s done! **** them and also **** the refs who did their best to hand them the win tonight!

 

[Stive Morgan]

Just got back from the pub. Still don't have my voice back yet.

I'm definitely gonna be hitting a lot of sports bars when I move back to Montreal.

 

[holy]

Drake testing new material.

He came clutch in the 4th quarter stilllll.

 

[the valiant effort]

Damn

 

[tazsub3]

Marc bergevin, i want to make the playoffs.....

Masai Ujiri, his team was number one seed, fires the coach, trades a star. We will win a championship.

Champs are built starting from the top.

It is pretty nuts here.

I’m here about 12KM from the downtown core and still at 2:15am all I hear is car horns and yelling all around me.

Yonge street is completely congested from Front st to Steeles ave. That’s a 30+ kilometre conga line.

Why aren't you out there?

This is the first canadian team Championship win since 93...I wouldn't risk waiting another 26 years to celebrate out there personally.
If I hadn't booked my tickets back home for Mid-July already I'd probably have flown down.

We went for about an hour on Yonge street st, but my daughter (single full time dad here) has an exam at 8:45 am, so we packed it in.
