The quote in my previous post is you responding to this comment from me:

Florida needs a couple more lottery picks before they even think about the playoffs.

Implying/joking they've recently gotten an absurd amount of lottery picks and would need even more before they could be successful.

So my brother's been playing hockey for the past few years and is now decent enough for people to notice and like him. Said he played and chilled with a lot of players and a lot of familiar faces including Jim and Devin Cuddy, Ron Mclean, Cuba Gooding Jr, Billy Talent, David Clarkson and a lot more that I don't remember on top of my head.

Am I jealous? Maybe just a little bit. I might start playing soon to feed my curiosity.

General rule of thumb: If you don't understand a Soc witticism then you're too dumb to get it.

I'm guilty of that, like, dozens of times. Literally dozens.

"@ian_mendes: TSN announcers for Sens games this season: Gord Miller and Chris Cuthbert as play-by-play. Ray Ferraro and Jamie McLennan as analysts

SNES get the goat announcers.

It will be the only thing that's going for them.

Is that for the upcoming season?

I seem to recall that CBC forfeited ad revenue from the game broadcasts to Rogers. Is that right or have I been living on Vancouver Island for too long?

That was my understanding too - CBC doesn't get *any* revenue from HNIC but they get free ad time for their own shows. The flipside being CBC isn't paying for the rights.

It was a pretty clever solution for Bettman, who basically said "I don't want to be the guy who everyone blames for killing HNIC so work that shit into your proposal".

Hearing MLSE president/CEO Tim Leiweke will be leaving the company soon. (1/2)

Not sure of where he's going, but hearing the reason is he is looking for a new challenge.

Potentially big news.

Re @FriedgeHNIC reporting Leiweke leaving MLSE been hearing also. This could be a health issue; he's sick of them and they're sick of him.

You know this is about Rogers/Bell ownership. How the hell are the two competitors are going to be friendly in a boardroom?

Especially with Rogers taking away the national NHL broadcast rights.

sad part is neither company will want to part with their share of MLSE

Rogers wants to own the Leafs with the TV contract

Bell wants to stick it to Rogers

ughhhhh

I want to get good enough to meet the Subbans, Iginla and maybe Anson Carter.

Apparently leiweke is going to head the clippers

Leiweke: I've barely started here, I don't feel comfortable leaving the organization so soon.

*Ballmer writes a bunch of numbers on a napkin, slides it across to Leiweke*

Leiweke: When can I start?

EDIT: Apparently the Islanders have been sold. Even the Islanders are already getting better!
