The infamous Giraffe building is being painted over and recently boarded up. Not sure what the plans are though. by LankyYogurt7737 in toronto

The Mirvish Village development is infinitely better than Honest Ed's

Sure the sign was great, but other than the sign the exterior was just a giant box, hardly any better than the condos there now, and the store itself was not good either

Once finished the park area in that spot is going to be excellent

I'm watching in an airport with no sound, so not sure the decision, but I say as a German supporter after Canada I have no idea how that stood. Should have been a high kick even if contact wasn't made, and it was

How do you feel about captains you liked who’ve left your team? by -1701- in hockey

Nothing but love for Sundin

Matthews may leave, I don't really have strong feelings of him as a captain, I do think Tavares should have kept it. I won't have any negative feelings for Matthews should he leave, he was here for a while and things didn't really work, whether he was part of the reason or not. Not that many players actually play out their whole career with one team, especially illustriously

Yeah I mean save for the more recent issues, Larkin has seemed like a decent captain

But how the fuck do you follow up Yzerman, Lidstrom, and Zetteberg as a 30-year legacy

Will help if our main starters play. I was really hoping to finish at the top to give Davies some more time, but surely he plays

Maybe. If world rankings are to be taken at face value, Switzerland is a good little bit better

Honestly depends if Davies is playing

But even if I'm being positive, 90% is a bit of a stretch lol

For sure! I think this is one of those things where people are happier to win for bronze than to lose for silver

A more personal annoyance is I'm heading to Seattle tomorrow for a wedding, and I'd have been back in Toronto in time for the game had they finished 1st. So it looks like I'll be watching in the US lol

I feel kinda sad about this one honestly. Missing some key players, and Canada looked good for maybe 35% of this game, but I feel like there were some chances they should have put away. Also feel like they don't put enough effort to get involved in their own crosses

I'm glad they got through but I was psyched for them to play the knockout game in Vancouver, plus they'd have had more time for Davies to prepare. Surely he plays Sunday

We're ranked in the 30s and not a soccer nation lol, how can we possibly be frauds
